The Catcher in the Rye

Holden Caulfield, a seventeen-year-old dropout, has just been kicked out of his fourth school. Throughout, Holden dissects the 'phony' aspects of society, and the 'phonies' themselves: the headmaster whose affability depends on the wealth of the parents, his roommate who scores with girls using sickly-sweet affection.

Holden Caulfield, un tanar de saptesprezece ani care a abandonat scoala, tocmai a fost dat afara din a patra sa scoala. De-a lungul cartii, Holden analizeaza aspectele ,,false" ale societatii si pe ,,falsi" insisi: directorul a carui amabilitate depinde de averea parintilor, colegul sau de camera care se impaca cu fetele folosind o afectiune dulceag-saraca.
