Vladimir Nabokov

Vladimir Nabokov — one title in the rankings.

Editor’s note Lolita is narrated by Humbert Humbert, a man who abuses a twelve-year-old girl and tells the story in dazzling, self-justifying prose. The novel’s power lies in seeing through him: it is a portrait of a predator, not a love story, and it remains disturbing. It is the only book of his here with enough ratings; Pale Fire and the memoir Speak, Memory are the usual next steps.
