Um retrato da vida em família e do fim da infância. Um retrato lírico, ocasionalmente cômico e sempre cortante da vida em família e do fim da infância. Salinger continua a explorar os meandros da família Glass,que os leitores conheceram em Nove histórias. Em "Franny", a mais jovem dos Glass se encontra com o namorado, mas o que prometia ser um fim de semana aprazível acaba se tornando uma descida ao mal-estar espiritual que a domina. Em "Zooey", encontramos Franny em meio a um colapso nervoso, e cabe a seu irmão tentar ajudá-la. "(...) Nove Histórias e Franny & Zooey atestam que Salinger deu voz não apenas ao inconformismo de uma geração (o que já não é pouca coisa), mas também a anseios ancestrais do espírito humano." - Jerônimo Teixeira, O Estado de S. Paulo

The "original, first-rate, serious, and beautiful" short fiction (New York Times Book Review) that introduced J. D. Salinger to American readers in the years after World War II, including "A Perfect Day for Bananafish" and the first appearance of Salinger's fictional Glass family. Nine exceptional stories from one of the great literary voices of the twentieth century. Witty, urbane, and frequently affecting, Nine Stories sits alongside Salinger's very best work--a treasure that will passed down for many generations to come. The stories: A Perfect Day for Bananafish Uncle Wiggily in Connecticut Just Before the War with the Eskimos The Laughing Man Down at the Dinghy For Esmé--with Love and Squalor Pretty Mouth and Green My Eyes De Daumier-Smith's Blue Period Teddy

"Perhaps the best book by the foremost stylist of his generation" (New York Times), J. D. Salinger's Franny and Zooey collects two works of fiction about the Glass family originally published in The New Yorker. "Everything everybody does is so--I don't know--not wrong, or even mean, or even stupid necessarily. But just so tiny and meaningless and--sad-making. And the worst part is, if you go bohemian or something crazy like that, you're conforming just as much only in a different way." A novel in two halves, Franny and Zooey brilliantly captures the emotional strains and traumas of entering adulthood. It is a gleaming example of the wit, precision, and poignancy that have made J. D. Salinger one of America's most beloved writers.

The last book-length work of fiction by J. D. Salinger published in his lifetime collects two novellas about "one of the liveliest, funniest, most fully realized families in all fiction" (New York Times). These two novellas, set seventeen years apart, are both concerned with Seymour Glass--the eldest son of J. D. Salinger's fictional Glass family--as recalled by his closest brother, Buddy. "He was a great many things to a great many people while he lived, and virtually all things to his brothers and sisters in our somewhat outsized family. Surely he was all real things to us: our blue-striped unicorn, our double-lensed burning glass, our consultant genius, our portable conscience, our supercargo, and our one full poet..."

"For Esmé With Love and Squalor" includes two of Salinger's most famous and critically acclaimed stories, and helped to establish him as one of the contemporary literary greats. The title story recounts a Sergeant's meeting with a young girl before being sent into combat. When it was first published in "The New Yorker" in 1950 it was an immediate sensation and prompted a flood of readers' fan-letters. 'A Perfect Day for Bananafish' is the first of the author's stories to feature the Glass family, the loveable and idiosyncratic family who would appear in much of Salinger's later fiction. A haunting and unforgettable piece of writing, the story follows the eldest sibling, Seymour Glass, and his wife, Muriel, as they embark on an ill-fated honeymoon in Florida.

A Note from the Author: The two long pieces in this book originally came out in The New Yorker - RAISE HIGH THE ROOF BEAM, CARPENTERS in 1955, SEYMOUR - An Introduction in 1959. Whatever their differences in mood or effect, they are both very much concerned with Seymour Glass, who is the main character in my series about the Glass family. Oddly, the joys and satisfactions of working on the Glass family peculiarly increase and deepen for me with the years. I can't say why, though. Not, at least, outside the casino proper of my fiction. 'The Glasses are one of the liveliest, funniest, most fully-realized families in all of fiction' Charles McGrath, New York Times

From the moment J. D. Salinger published The Catcher in the Rye in 1951, he was stalked by besotted fans, would-be biographers, and pushy journalists. In this collection of rare and revealing encounters with the elusive literary giant, Salinger discusses—sometimes willingly, sometimes grudgingly—what that onslaught was like, the autobiographical origins of his art, and his advice to writers. Including his final, surprising interview, and with an insightful introduction by New York Times journalist David Streitfeld, these enlightening, provocative, and even amusing conversations reveal a writer fiercely resistant to the spotlight but powerless to escape its glare.

Samling af tre noveller. Forfatteren ville have dem trykt 50 år efter sin død, men de bliver lagt på nettet allerede efter 3 år i 2013

Amb la conversa com a vehicle conductor, aquesta obra aprofundeix en les inquietuds de la petita Franny, membre de la omnipresent família Glass. Serà en Zooey, el seu germà, el que tracti d'ajudar-la a eludir la crisi existencial en la qual es veu sotmesa. Pel camí, amb Dostoievki a l'horitzó, el lector trobarà les més subtils reflexions sobre l'art i la religió.

Holden Caulfield, coñecendo que vai ser expulsado da escola, decide deixala antes. Pasa tres días na cidade de Nova York e conta a historia do que fixo e sufriu. Narrada moi subxectivamente (o protagonista fai valoracións de todo canto relata), utilizando unha linguaxe propia da mocidade e facendo unhas análises da realidade mediatizadas pola peculiar personalidade do protagonista, a través do relato asistimos á fuxida cara adiante de Holden quen expulsado do seu elitista colexio, decide marcharse de alí e deambula polas rúas de Nova York queimando un tras outro os seus recursos de subsistencia. Personalidade nerviosa e sensible, Holden, na transición da adolescencia á madurez, enfróntase no decurso dunhas poucas horas cos grandes temas que preocupan a tódolos mozos: o seu lugar na sociedade, os valores que se afianzan e se desbotan, a actitude fronte á morte, o amor e outros sentimentos que suscita, a amizade, a iniciación ó sexo..., contado todo con humor e unha extraordinaria intensidade narrativa, nun maxistral relato en primeira persoa. Holden Caulfield é, dende 1951, ano da publicación de O vixía no centeo, o sinónimo de adolescente inconformista, o símbolo da autoafirmación do individuo fronte a un medio hostil. Neses tres días, nos que cronoloxicamente se desenvolve a novela, Holden enfróntase ás súas propias contradiccións e ó imperioso desexo de fuxida. Fuxir do mundo que lle agarda ó medrar, como se nese fuxir a única saída fose inmobilizar o tempo. O vixía no centeo (The catcher in the rye) está considerada como un dos clásicos da literatura norteamericana contemporánea. Centos de miles de estudiantes de todo o mundo descobren cada ano o pracer da literatura da man do escritor norteamericano J. D. Salinger.

Franny se enfrenta al problema de los farsantes y la falsedad. El hecho mismo de que sea actriz profesional la obliga a plantearse la distinción entre autenticidad y falsedad y a vérselas con la vanidad y el egotismo casi a diario, e incluso su intento de renuncia a su profesión está abocado al fracaso si pretende mantenerse fiel a sí misma.
