A ton of orders made by Jeffrey Epstein on Amazon over a number of years have been made public as part of files related to the convicted sex offender by the Department of Justice (DOJ).
The Amazon order history included a number of books Epstein purchased between 2014 and 2019, offering a disturbing insight into the former financier's state of mind.
He bought several novels written by Russian author Vladimir Nabokov, including Lolita, which follows a man who develops a disturbing sexual obsession with a 12-year-old girl.

The sickening story sees the man repeatedly rape and groom the minor and her life ends in tragedy.
Photographs released as part of the Epstein files show women with quotes from Lolita written on their bodies.
Epstein also purchased the 1791 book Justine by the Marquis de Sade, which contains a graphic description of rape and torture.
The sex offender, who died by suicide in 2019, also purchased a memoir titled The Stranger Beside Me by Ann Rule about the serial killer Ted Bundy.
Away from books, the files detailed a few other disturbing items Epstein purchased in a period of five years, including girls' school uniforms he ordered to his property on East 71st Street in 2018.
The files also documented a receipt for a $61.50 Sonic prostate massager and $64.95 Vagifirm vaginal tightening pills.
Speaking of the disturbing purchase history, relational trauma psychologist Desiree Nazarian told the New York Post: "The presence of these child-coded items alongside these sexual tools is so clinically alarming.
"Everything on this list is really common in predatory profiles. It’s marked by coercion, entitlement, dominance and control of narrative.”
Files also show Epstein decided to purchase an FBI costume, a pair of Israel Defense Force combat pants and two sauna hats.
He also ordered a copy of Woody Allen on Woody Allen. Allen was Epstein's neighbor and has appeared in several images in the Epstein files. Appearing in the files does not indicate wrongdoing.
He bought multiple books about Trump, not all of them complimentary, including House of Trump, House of Putin: The Untold Story of Donald Trump and the Russian Mafia by Craig Unger, Fear: Trump in the White House by Bob Woodward, Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House by Michael Wolff and Unhinged: An Insider's Account of the Trump White House by Omarosa Manigault Newman.
It comes after Attorney General Pam Bondi stated that 'all' the files related to Epstein had been released in accordance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
In a letter addressing the files obtained by Fox News, Bondi said: "In accordance with the requirements of the Act, and as described in various Department submissions to the courts of the Southern District of New York assigned to the Epstein and Maxwell prosecutions and related orders, the Department released all ‘records, documents, communications and investigative materials in the possession of the Department’ that ‘relate to’ any of nine different categories."
