The Catcher in the Rye," written by J.D. Salinger and published in 1951, is a classic American novel that explores the themes of adolescence, alienation, and identity through the eyes of its protagonist, Holden Caulfield. The novel is set in the 1950s and follows Holden, a 16-year-old who has just been expelled from his prep school, Pencey Prep. Disillusioned with the world around him, Holden decides to leave Pencey early and spend a few days alone in New York City before returning home. Over the course of these days, Holden interacts with various people, including old friends, a former teacher, and strangers, all the while grappling with his feelings of loneliness and dissatisfaction. Holden is deeply troubled by the "phoniness" of the adult world and is haunted by the death of his younger brother, Allie, which has left a lasting impact on him. He fantasizes about being "the catcher in the rye," a guardian who saves children from losing their innocence by catching them before they fall off a cliff into adulthooda. The novel ends with Holden in a mental institution, where he is being treated for a nervous breakdown. He expresses some hope for the future, indicating a possible path to recovery..

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.

A haunting portrait of family tragedy from the acclaimed author of The Catcher in the Rye ''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...'' 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. ''The Glasses are one of the liveliest, funniest, most fully-realized families in all fiction'' The 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.

A collection of stories of loss and unsuppressed rage - in which the children are fragile, odd, and hyper-smart and the adults beaten down by circumstances. In "A Perfect Day for Bananafish," Seymour Glass floats his beach mate Sybil on a raft and tells her that these creatures have a tragic flaw; if one swims into a hole filled with bananas, it will overeat until it''s too fat to escape. Meanwhile, Seymour''s wife, Muriel, is back at their Florida hotel, assuring her mother not to worry - Seymour hasn''t lost control. In "The Laughing Man," the narrator remembers how, at nine, he and his fellow Comanches would be picked up each afternoon by the Chief - a Staten Island law student paid to keep them busy. At the end of each day, the Chief tells the saga of a hideously deformed, gentle, criminal who regularly crosses the Paris-China border in order to avoid capture by the internationally famous detective Marcel Dufarge. The masked hero''s luck comes to an end on the same day that things go awry between the Chief and his girlfriend

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.

Nou contes de J.D. Salinger, número 21 de la col·lecció de Narrativa, es va publicar per primera vegada amb traducció de Quim Monzó i amb el títol Just abans de la guerra amb els esquimals. Quan J.D. Salinger va veure els exemplars amb el títol canviat (l''original es deia Nine stories), es va posar fet una fúria, i va exigir la retirada immediata de tots els exemplars. La ràpida reacció d''Empúries va reconduir la situació i recomposar les relacions, i des d''aleshores Salinger s''ha consolidat com un dels autors més emblemàtics del nostre catàleg.
