The Catcher in the Rye is an American novel by J. D. Salinger that was partially published in serial form from 1945–46 before being novelized in 1951. Originally intended for adults, it is often read by adolescents for its themes of angst and alienation, and as a critique of superficiality in society. The novel also deals with complex issues of innocence, identity, belonging, loss, connection, sex, and depression. The main character, Holden Caulfield, has become an icon for teenage rebellion. Caulfield, nearly of age, gives his opinion on just about everything as he narrates his recent life events. The Catcher has been translated widely. About one million copies are sold each year, with total sales of more than 65 million books. The novel was included on Time's 2005 list of the 100 best English-language novels written since 1923, and it was named by Modern Library and its readers as one …

Review of 'Il giovane Holden' on 'Goodreads'

4 stelle

Riletto dopo anni. Tutto un altro sapore. Un libro sul ritmo, coadiuvato da tanti spostamenti in autobus, taxi... Eccetera eccetera. La traduzione in italiano non ci restituisce perfettamente la schiettezza inglese, ma non è poi così male come tanti dicono. Magistrale l'alternanza tra capitoli in cui accade l'evento prefissato e capitoli di passaggio in cui Holden si prefissa di fare qualcosa. Rimane il dilemma di come un ragazzetto di diciassette anni possa sopravvivere così bene a due pestaggi e ad un principio di ibernazione. Ma questo gli dà solo un tocco di magia. Qua e là alcuni pensieri ci colgono come stoccate, persi nel fluire della narrazione improvvisamente ci fermiamo. Già, è tutta una questione di ritmo; non solo questo libro.
