✦ Synopsis
Irreverente e refinado, este é um dos romances mais célebres de todos os tempos. É também uma aventura intelectual que não deixa ninguém indiferente, um relato apaixonado de uma sensualidade alucinada, uma autópsia implacável do modo de vida americano. De um lado, um homem de meia-idade, obsessivo e cínico. De outro, uma garota de doze anos, perversamente ingênua. A química se faz e dá origem a uma obra-prima da literatura do nosso século. 'Lolita' é chocante, desafia tabus, escandaliza. O livro foi incorporado ao imaginário coletivo da modernidade, e até o nome da personagem tornou-se um substantivo corrente, provas do alcance e da genialidade do autor.
