It was originally intended for adults but is often read by adolescents for its themes of angst, alienation, and as a critique of superficiality in society. It has been translated widely. The novel's protagonist Holden Caulfield has become an icon for teenage rebellion. The novel also deals with complex issues of innocence, identity, belonging, loss, connection, sex, and depression. The novel was included on Time Magazine's 2005 list of the 100 best English-language novels written since 1923, and it was named by Modern Library and its readers as one of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century."' (Wiki) ***"Anyway, I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobody's around--nobody big, I mean--except me. And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff-I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all." (extract from the text) ***A later printing of J. D. Salinger's fabulously successful debut, and only, novel, "The Catcher in the Rye". Hardcover copies of the American edition are surprisingly uncommon in the UK. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.…

Salinger as a leading voice in American literature-and that has instilled in millions of readers around the world a lifelong love of books.'If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth.'The hero-narrator ofThe Catcher in the Ryeis an ancient child of sixteen, a native New Yorker named Holden Caulfield.
