The Catcher in the Rye

Novel by ჯერომ სელინჯერი

Blurb

'If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth.' The first of J. D. Salinger's four books to be published, The Catcher in the Rye is one of the most widely read and beloved of all contemporary American novels. 'The handbook of the adolescent heart' The New Yorker

One of my favourite books of all time. The anger of the main character reflects that humans cannot be happy just by situation alone.

Ich konnte mit dem Fänger im Roggen nie richtig was anfangen. Seit ich 12 bin, hab ich ihm alle paar Jahre mal eine Chance gegeben und konnte es nichtmal ganz lesen. Spätestens bei der Kakao-Szene zu Beginn war jedesmal Schluss.

why does the book picture and description say "Prayer for Owen Meany" when the book title says "Catcher in the Rye"?

An interesting and important look inside the head of a teenage boy struggling with all the major questions in life - from the perspective of a person balancing a cocktail of sensitivity and.. hormones

Man sollte Bücher übers Erwachsenwerden wohl nicht zu spät lesen. Ich konnte mit den Gefühlen und Gedanken von Holden jedenfalls nicht mehr sehr viel anfangen. Und auch der Schreibstil kann durchaus etwas anstrengen.
