The Catcher in the Rye

The boy's name is Holden Caulfield, and he lives in the story "The Catcher in the Rye", still worshipped by millions of "misunderstood" teenagers. Holden is endowed with an "absolute moral sense"—he instantly perceives falsehood; it’s as if his skin... has been stripped away, exposing his nerve endings; his hypersensitivity is a special kind of radar, detecting what others pass by without a thought. But he is not an angel and not a "child of flowers"; he is a troubled teenager in all his glory: with his experiences, worries, and talents, but also with all his "bugs". Moreover, Holden has a strange yet very touching dream. The book "The Catcher in the Rye" has been translated into almost all major languages of the world and is included in the list of the 100 best English-language novels.
