The brilliant director and writer of the novel, Vladimir Nabokov, says in his book “Speak Memory: An Autobiography Revisited” that in reading the story “Lolita” for the first time he was so struck by its beauty that when he reached the end of it, without thinking about it beforehand-he went back and reread it all over again. This is a story that may be long but is definitely worth reading once more. The story takes place in New York during 1947 when Humbert Humbert meets Lolita at the Lennox Hotel after she had ran away from her home to seek new experiences with him. They fall in love, but she soon has to leave with her mother. She walks out of her room one day to find that he had left his clothes and shoes on the floor, and after she has spent some time there, she decides to bring him home.
The book has been adapted into several film versions. It was the basis for Roman Polanski's 1962 film "Lolita", which won an award for direction at the Venice Film Festival. The story was also adapted as a play, "Lolita", by English playwright David Hare with a screenplay by John Duigan and adapted from the novel by John Guare. The play was first produced at Theater Royal Haymarket in London on 17 April 2002. It was also adapted as a musical, "Lolita: The Musical" (2007) by the British musical theatre writers Bill Oakes and Matthew White. Humbert Humbert, a widower, travels to Ramsdale, New Hampshire to stay with his sister, Mrs. Charlotte Haze. He meets Charlotte's step-daughter Lo—her real name is Dolores—and is immediately attracted to her. It is then that he decides he will marry her. He then gets Charlotte's permission to take Lolita out by telling her that he knows an orphanage where Lolita could go if she marries him because she has no father or mother. The two start a journey and come across various places along the way. Humbert and Lolita go to a motel and Humbert makes arrangements for them to go to Briceland, an idyllic town by the sea where he owns a chateau. On their way there, they pass through various cities such as Hollywood, San Bernardino, and San Diego. In Albany he meets his old friend Clare Quilty who tells him that Lolita has been seeing a doctor there for her head pains. When Humbert confronts Lolita about it she says the doctor wanted her to have an operation done on her nose so it wouldn't be so big. But Lolita later reveals that she lied and went to see the doctor because she needed a passport and did not want her parents to know. Clare, who is Charlotte's husband, convinces Humbert that Lolita was abused by her parents and asks him to take Lo back home. Discovering that Lo has become anorexic, Clare gets Charlotte to take her for a check-up at the hospital where the two get lost and end up in a cemetery. Clare then suggests they look for Lo at her old house but they get mistaken for intruders and he tells them he must go home because his wife will be looking for him.
