The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger (1951, Little Brown & Co.)
One of the most influential novels of the 20th century, The Catcher in the Rye captures the raw voice of teenage confusion, rebellion, and longing for authenticity.
The story follows Holden Caulfield, a restless sixteen-year-old expelled from prep school who wanders through New York City in search of truth, purpose, and connection. With biting humor and unforgettable honesty, Holden’s voice became the anthem of alienated youth for generations.
Since its publication in 1951, Salinger’s masterpiece has been banned, celebrated, and studied worldwide for its bold portrayal of adolescence and critique of social hypocrisy.
