Lolita is a banned book of a period, it is more or less predictable what it is talking about due to its title and subject, and therefore it is a book that is avoided and thought to be disgusting. You may ask, how good can a book be that tells about the unhealthy relationship built on a middle-aged man's obsession with a little girl aged 11-12 and the little girl's obligatory devotion to him? This is where the beauty and naivety of literature emerges. It is an amazing work that deals with pedophilia, a terrible child abuse that we cannot imagine, and the reasons behind it, satirizes the American society, family structure, and the indifference of institutions through this unhealthy relationship, teaches great lessons about parenting and education, and leaves you astonished the more you read it. It is recommended that parents and educators should read it. This work by Nabokov has been selected as one of the best novels of the century in which it was written. He also has two films shot in the 1960s and 1990s with two different casts. I don't know if I have the courage to watch the movie, but I think everyone who loves literature should read the book.
