Storyline and Places
The late Dieter E. Zimmer (who did the latest translation of “Lolita” into german language) has a beautiful overview of the real places Dolores and Humbert visited. He also features a chronology of the storyline on his site.
Lolita available online
Lolita is still under copyright in most countries up until 70 years after Nabokov’s death. So it may be in public domain starting 1977 + 70 = 2047.
If you want to work with the novel I encourage you to buy a paper or digital version of the book.
