"The Catcher in Rye" is the ultimate novel for disaffected youth, but it's relevant to all ages. The story is told by Holden Caulfield, a seventeen-year-old dropout who 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. Lazy in style, full of slang and swear words, it's a novel whose interest and appeal comes from its observations rather than its plot intrigues (in ... |

Изданието е с нов превод на български език. Колекция "Селинджър" в четири книги. ... "Претенциите на новия превод са, че в много по-голяма степен се доближава до автентичния текст на автора и езика на неговите герои. Някои от направените вече коментари и сравнения между двата превода скоро ще подпалят социалните мрежи. Изборът на преводач не беше случаен: висок професионализъм, рутина, стотици преведени заглавия, лингвистична изобретателност, която може да бъде доведена до еквилибристика, но и преводаческа смелост, за която някои твърдят, че е на крачка от езиковата бруталност. Тънко познаване на ... |

Set in Hardy's Wessex, Tess is a moving novel of hypocrisy and double standards. Its challenging sub-title, A Pure Woman, infuriated critics when the book was first published in 1891, and it was condemned as immoral and pessimistic. It tells of Tess Durbeyfield, the daughter of a poor and dissipated villager, who learns that she may be descended from the ancient family of d'Urbeville. In her search for respectability her fortunes fluctuate wildly, and the story assumes the proportions of a Greek tragedy. It explores Tess's relationships with two very different men, her struggle against the social mores of ... |
