<"Lolita - Vladmir Nabokov">

<"A banned book whose reception has often obscured its actual content, many
who come to *Lolita* expecting to be horrified or titillated will find
themselves disappointed. A bitter-hearted satire on American values in the
mid-20th century, its few quasi-erotic passages are few and far between.
That has not stopped its controversial subject matter from finding it
banned in the United Kingdom
<http://theculturetrip.com/europe/united-kingdom/> and the usually liberal
France in the fifties after one of the first tabloid morality panics where
launched upon it by the Sunday Express.">
