The Catcher in the Rye - J. D. Salinger
"The Catcher in Rye" is the ultimate novel for disaffected youth, but it's relevant to all ages. Throughout, Holden dissects the 'phony' aspects of society, and the 'phonies' themselves: the headmaster whose affability depends on the wealth of the parents, his roommate who scores with girls using sickly-sweet affection. The story is told by Holden Caulfield, a seventeen-year-old dropout who has just been kicked out of his fourth school.
Salinger's style creates an effect of conversation, it is as though Holden is speaking to you personally, as though you too have seen through the pretences of the American Dream and are growing up unable to see the point of living in, or contributing to, the society around you. Lazy in style, full of slang and swear words, it's a novel whose interest and appeal comes from its observations rather than its plot intrigues (in conventional terms, there is hardly any plot at all). Written with the clarity of a boy leaving childhood, it deals with society, love, loss, and expectations without ever falling into the clutch of a cliche.Číslo vydania 1Jazyky anglickyPočet strán 26Dátum uvedenia titulu 2014-10-30Rozmery 181x112x16Hmotnosť 140gTypPaperback
