book, new

A classic writer, a mystery writer who, at the peak of his career, announced his retirement from literature and settled in a remote American province away from worldly temptations. He left us quite recently - in 2010 ... Salinger's only novel - "The Catcher in the Rye" - became a turning point in the history of world literature. The title of the book and the name of the protagonist, Holden Caulfield, have become codes for many generations of young rebels, from beatniks and hippies to today's radical youth movements. The novel is presented in a brilliant translation by Rita Wright-Kovaleva, which has become a classic of translation art. 224 pages
