The Catcher in the Rye

A classic writer, a writer of mystery, who at the peak of his career announced his departure from literature and settled in a remote American province away from worldly temptations. He left us in 2010… The only novel by Salinger — ‘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 main character Holden Caulfield have become codes for many generations of young rebels, from beatniks and hippies to representatives of modern radical youth movements. The novel is presented in a brilliant translation by Rita Wright-Kovalova, which has become a classic of translation art.
