Catcher in the rye. Salinger J.D.

Classic writer, a mystery writer who, at the peak of his career, announced the departure from literature and settled in a deaf American province away from worldly temptations. He left us recently - in 2010...

the only romance of Salinger - “Above the Rye” - was a turning point in the history of world literature. The name of the book and the name of the protagonist Holden Collfield became code for many generations of young rebels from battles and hippies to representatives of modern radical youth movements.

The novel is presented in the brilliant translation of Rita Wright Kovaleva, who became a classic of translation art.
