«Vol au-dessus d'un nid de coucou» is the novel by Ken Kesey published by Librarie Générale Française in paperback, in French.
Set in a psychiatric hospital, the novel follows Randle McMurphy, a rebellious man who arrives at an institution ruled with an iron fist by Nurse Ratched. His resistance to the rules and to the patients' docility turns an apparently playful confrontation into a tragic struggle for freedom and individual dignity.
Kesey's first novel, originally published in 1962 as One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. In France it was first known as La machine à brouillard (1963); this edition dates from 1992.
Suitable for those seeking classics of American literature and novels about individual rebellion against institutions.
Kenneth Elton Kesey was an American novelist, essayist, and countercultural figure. He considered himself a link between the Beat Generation of the 1950s and the hippies of the 1960s.
