Description

“If you really want to know about it, the first thing you’ll probably want to hear is where I was born, what my lousy childhood was like, and what my parents did before they had me—all that David Copperfield kind of stuff. But honestly, I don’t feel like getting into it.”

The protagonist of The Catcher in the Rye is Holden Caulfield, a disillusioned sixteen-year-old New Yorker. After leaving his prep school in Pennsylvania, he spends three days wandering the streets of New York City, narrating his experiences in his uniquely raw and authentic voice.

    Good quality of the book, hence the print itself.

  2. Beatriz

    Book that engages from the start. It narrates in the first person a few days of the story of a teenager. Their doubts, fears, their insecurities. Endearing.
