Disregarding OPs uninteresting opinions, but on the topic of Lolita as a sick love story, yet moving tragedy; another book that manages this is Mann's "Death in Venice": beautiful, wrong and forever haunting.

(I bet Anne Rice was trying for something like it with "Interview with the Vampire", she just overdid it horribly.)

I actually find that to be the better book in terms of character, but it's less read.

Is that also true in Continental Europe?

Because I would assume that's true in the Anglosphere, because obviously Nabokov wrote in English and Mann didn't, but I have no idea if that's true outside of English-speaking countries, and I'm curious what your perception is.

Well, I read in in class (higher education, obviously). I'd say IF it's more read,then it's because some lit teachers give it as an assignment. But, I'd still say Lolita is the more known book under the general public.

DA I'd say outside the English-speaking world, Death in Venice and Lolita are about equally well known (and in the German-speaking world, Death in Venice is obviously more widely read, partly also because it's the shortest work by one of the greatest Germanophone authors, so people who feel like they should read some Mann usually end up reading Death in Venice because it's a lot less intimidating than just about everything else Mann has written, since most of his novels have over 1000 pages).

Although I find Death in Venice a lot less horrifying in a way because nothing actually happens between the protagonist and his underage obsession. The obsession is still creepy, but nobody gets abused and raped, and you end up feeling far more sorry for the guy.
