The Catcher in the Rye

"The Catcher in the Rye" is J. D. Salinger’s most famous novella, which brought the author enormous success and extraordinary popularity both in the United States and around the world. Contemporaries received this book as a revelation. Young people saw in the novella’s main character—the sixteen-year-old Holden Caulfield—a spokesperson for their views and moods; they were drawn to his naïveté and his thirst for truth, standing up against the hypocrisy and falsehood reigning in society.

An honest story about teenager Holden Caulfield, told by him himself, still leaves young readers’ hearts untouched today as they step into life.
