Synopsis
In honour of the centennial of the birth of J.D. Salinger in 1919, Penguin reissues all four of his books in beautiful commemorative hardback editions - with artwork and text based on the very first Salinger editions published in the 1950s and 1960s.
''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

Review
He wrote a perfect novel and it changed US culture forever * Independent * His work meant a lot to me when I was a young person and his writing still sings. -- Dave Eggers It was a very pure voice he had. There was no one like him -- Martin Amis He was the poet of youthful alienation before youth really knew what that was * Sunday Times * Tough-tender... It charts the miseries and ecstasies of an adolescent rebel [in] acidly humorous deadpan satire * TIME *

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. One of the greatest novels of the twentieth century - reissued in a stunning hardback design to celebrate the Salinger centenaryIt's Christmas time and Holden Caulfield has just been expelled from yet another school. Fleeing the crooks at Pencey Prep, he pinballs around New York City seeking solace in fleeting encounters - shooting the bull with strangers in dive hotels, wandering alone round Central Park, getting beaten up by pimps and cut down by erstwhile girlfriends. The city is beautiful and terrible, in all its neon loneliness and seedy glamour, its mingled sense of possibility and emptiness. Holden passes through it like a ghost, thinking always of his kid sister Phoebe, the only person who really understands him, and his determination to escape the phonies and find a life of true meaning.The Catcher in the Rye is an all-time classic in coming-of-age literature- an elegy to teenage alienation, capturing the deeply human need for connection and the bewildering sense of loss as we leave childhood behind.
