A young and ambitious writer named Jerome David Salinger aimed high early in his career, yearning to publish in The New Yorker, which he viewed as the pinnacle of American literature. However, it took several years and the duration of a world war before he achieved this goal. The New Yorker, known for its selective tastes, was not ready for Salinger's brash style and cynical worldview. Instead, other magazines recognized his talent during a tumultuous time. Story magazine was the first to publish Salinger’s work, featuring “The Young Folks” in 1940. This story offers a glimpse into New York’s cocktail society, showcasing a conversation between two young people that is largely meaningless. His next story, “Go See Eddie,” appeared in The University of Kansas City Review, depicting a tense encounter where a male character pressures a young woman to meet Eddie, notable for its omitted backstory—a technique reminiscent of Hemingway. Later, as Salinger neared the end of his wartime experience, “Once A Week Won’t Kill You” was published in Story magazine. This story, about a soldier informing his aunt of his deployment, can be interpreted as a metaphor for preparing loved ones for potential loss. Devault-Graves Digital Editions proudly presents this anthology by one of America’s most innovative authors.

This title has a new ISBN which should be used for ordering purposes.

Novela autora proslulého zejména jedním z nejvýznamnějších děl americké literatury XX. století – generačním románem Kdo chytá v žitě – vypovídá o touze po nalezení smyslu života. Podle autora je „amatérským filmem“ citlivě zobrazujícím něžné vztahy matky a dvou nejmladších dětí rodiny Glassových; skutečně jde o vynikající rozbor rodinných vztahů. Dvacetiletá studentka anglistiky Franny si z pokoje mrtvého bratra vypůjčí knihu Poutníkova cesta vyprávějící o ruském venkovanovi, který se naučil zvláštní metodu neustálého modlení. Poté upadá do deprese, prodělá nervové zhroucení a její blízcí se jí snaží pomoci. Obsahem knihy jsou v podstatě tři velké rozhovory – mezi Franny a jejím chlapcem Lanem, mezi jejím bratrem Zooeym a matkou Bessie a konečně mezi Franny a Zooeym. Zooey, úspěšný herec, se jí snaží pomoci svými úvahami o víře v Boha a smyslu poctivé práce, zatímco maminka se snaží posílit Frannino tělo vydatnou slepičí polévkou. Nevšední knížka, která chytne u srdce.

The hero-narrator is a sixteen-year-old native New Yorker named Holden Caulfield. After leaving his prep school in Pennsylvania, he spends three days navigating New York City. Holden is both simple and complex, making it difficult to draw definitive conclusions about him or his experiences. He is deeply drawn to beauty, almost to the point of being trapped by it. The novel features various voices—children's, adults', and underground—but Holden's voice stands out as the most powerful. His expression transcends his own vernacular while remaining true to it, delivering a poignant mix of pain and pleasure. Like many artistic souls, he internalizes much of his pain, choosing to share his joy with others. This emotional complexity is available for readers who can appreciate it. J.D. Salinger's classic tale of teenage angst and rebellion was first published in 1951 and has been recognized as one of the best English-language novels of the 20th century. It has faced challenges for its candid language and themes of sexuality, becoming a must-read for many teenage boys in the 1950s and 60s.

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..."

J.D. Salinger, author of the classic Catcher in the Rye (1951), wrote the stories Franny and Zooey for publication in the New Yorker magazine in 1955 and 1957 respectively. Both stories were part of a series centred around a family of settlers in New York, the Glasses, particularly the children of Les and Bessie Glass, a Jewish-Irish theatrical act. All are brilliant former radio actors. Their eldest child, Seymour, a genius, commits suicide in his thirties. The repercussions to the family of this act provide the unifying theme to the stories. In Franny and Zooey the youngest member of the family, Franny, has a religious and nervous breakdown. She attempts to ward off the meaninglessness of college life by the obsessive repetition of a Jesus prayer. Her brother Zachary (Zooey) rests at nothing in his attempts to restore her sanity. J.D. Salinger wrote the Glass stories, 'It is a long-term project, patently an ambitious one, and there is a real-enough danger, I suppose, that sooner or later I'll bog down, perhaps disappear entirely, in ly own methods, locutions and mannerisms. On the whole, though, I'm very hopeful.I love working on these Glass stories, I've been waiting for them most of my life, and I think I have fairly decent, monomaniacal plans to finish them with due care and all-available skill.'

In celebration of J.D. Salinger's centennial, Penguin reissues his four books in beautiful hardback editions inspired by the original 1950s and 1960s designs. "The Catcher in the Rye," Salinger's first novel, remains a cherished classic, often described as "the handbook of the adolescent heart" by The New Yorker.

Includes two of the author's critically acclaimed stories. This title contains a story that recounts the author's meeting with a young girl before being sent into combat. It also contains a story that features the Glass family, the loveable and idiosyncratic family.
