Nabokov's Lolita is about an inappropriate relationship between a mature man and a very young girl. Although the subject matter is abhorrent and repulsive, he writes with such eloquence and style that the reader can appreciate the artistry of the book without compromising one's ethical and moral standards vis-a-vis pedophilia.
