Rich in symbolism, daring in style, elegiac in tone and encapsulating Virginia Woolf’s ideas on life, art and human relationships, To the Lighthouse is a landmark of twentieth-century literature and one of the high points of early Modernism.
To the Lighthouse is at once a vivid impressionist depiction of a family holiday, and a meditation on a marriage, on parenthood and childhood, on grief, tyranny and bitterness.

Humbert Humbert is a middle-aged, frustrated college professor. In love with his landlady's twelve-year-old daughter Lolita, he'll do anything to possess her.
Poet and pervert, Humbert Humbert becomes obsessed by twelve-year-old Lolita and seeks to possess her, first carnally and then artistically, out of love, 'to fix once for all the perilous magic of nymphets'.
Lolita on hurja ja vaikuttava kertomus hyväksikäytöstä, rakkaudesta, omistushalusta ja pakkomielteen pelottavasta voimasta. Vladimir Nabokovin mestariteos julkaistiin Pariisissa vuonna 1955 ja julistettiin heti kielletyksi kirjaksi.
