The story

In 1947, Humbert Humbert, a middle-aged European professor of English literature, travels to the United States to take a teaching position in New Hampshire.

He rents a room in the home of widow Charlotte Haze, but only because he is sexually attracted to her 14-year-old daughter Dolores, whom he sees while touring the house.

While the girl leaves for a summer camp, Charlotte finds Humbert's secret diary and discovers his preference for her daughter instead of her.
