«The Catcher in the Rye» is J. D. Salinger's coming-of-age novel, published by Penguin Books in paperback (208 pages, in English).
Holden Caulfield, a teenager expelled from his boarding school, wanders through New York and observes with irony a world he considers phony. His colloquial voice and reflections on adolescence, alienation, and the loss of innocence have made this work a classic of American literature.
Originally published in 1951, it was J. D. Salinger's first and only novel; this edition reproduces the original American text.
Often read by teenagers and adults, it is a reference work on youthful rebellion and social criticism.
