The Catcher in the Rey

En savoir plus sur le livre

A cult novel that captivates successive generations of young readers. A symbol of youthful rebellion against the adult world. Sixteen-year-old Holden Caulfield, unable to come to terms with the surrounding stupidity, cruelty, and above all, hypocrisy, runs away from college and spends several days "roaming" around New York City before finally returning home. The story of these few days, told in vivid language, is amusing at first glance; however, it soon becomes clear that beneath the surface of comedy, serious matters are at stake.
