J. D. Salinger Boeken

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.

It includes two of his most famous short stories, "A Perfect Day for Bananafish" and "For Esmé – with Love and Squalor". (Nine Stories is the U.S. title; the book is published in many other countries as For Esmé - with Love and Squalor, and Other Stories.)The stories are:"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"

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..."

The short story, <i>Franny</i>, takes place in an unnamed college town and tells the tale of an undergraduate who is becoming disenchanted with the selfishness and inauthenticity she perceives all around her. The novella, <i>Zooey</i>, is named for Zooey Glass, the second-youngest member of the Glass family. As his younger sister, Franny, suffers a spiritual and existential breakdown in her parents' Manhattan living room -- leaving Bessie, her mother, deeply concerned -- Zooey comes to her aid, offering what he thinks is brotherly love, understanding, and words of sage advice. Salinger writes of these works: <i>"FRANNY came out in The New Yorker in 1955, and was swiftly followed, in 1957 by ZOOEY. Both stories are early, critical entries in a narrative series I'm doing about a family of settlers in twentieth-century New York, the Glasses. It is a long-term project, patently an ambiguous one, and there is a real-enough danger, I suppose that sooner or later I'll bog down, perhaps disappear entirely, in my 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."</i>

The Catcher in the Rye is J . D. Salinger's world-famous novel of disaffected youth. Holden Caulfield is a seventeen- year-old dropout who has just been kicked out of his fourth school. Navigating his way through the challenges of growing up, 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.Written with the clarity of a boy leaving childhood behind, The Catcher in the Rye explores the world with disarming frankness and a warm, affecting charisma which has made this novel a universally loved classic of twentieth-century literature.J. D. Salinger was born in 1919 and died in January 2010. He grew up in New York City, and wrote short stories from an early age, but his breakthrough came in 1948 with the publication in The New Yorker of 'A Perfect Day for Bananafish'. The Catcher in the Rye was his first and only novel, published in 1951. It remains one of the most translated, taught and reprinted texts, and has sold some 65 million copies. His other works include the novellas Franny and Zooey, For Esme with Love and Squalor, and Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters, published with Seymour - An Introduction.

A cult novel that captivates successive generations of young readers. A symbol of youthful rebellion against the adult world. Sixteen-year-old Holden Caulfield, unable to come to terms with the surrounding stupidity, cruelty, and above all, hypocrisy, runs away from college and spends several days "roaming" around New York City before finally returning home. The story of these few days, told in vivid language, is amusing at first glance; however, it soon becomes clear that beneath the surface of comedy, serious matters are at stake.

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.

Am 22. Juli dieses Jahres veröffentlichte ein kleiner Verlag aus Memphis den Erzählungsband „Die jungen Leute“ von J. D. Salinger, die erste Publikation des amerikanischen Kultautors seit fünfzig Jahren. Diese ersten Erzählungen eines der größten und unergründlichsten Schriftsteller unserer Zeit sind ein seltenes literarisches Ereignis. Am 22. Juli 2014 brachte ein kleiner Verlag aus Memphis 'Die jungen Leute' heraus, die erste Veröffentlichung des amerikanischen Kultautors J. D. Salinger seit fünfzig Jahren. Es sind seine ersten Erzählungen, und sie lassen bei aller Knappheit ungewöhnliches schriftstellerisches Talent und feines psychologisches Gespür erkennen: Salinger erzählt darin mit wenigen Worten und doch mit vielen Zwischentönen von Sehnsüchten und Eitelkeiten, Schwäche und Ohnmacht in sehr ungleichen Beziehungen, sei es zwischen jungen Eheleuten, Geschwistern oder zwei Partygängern, die unverhohlen auf Partnersuche sind. Eine literarische Entdeckung, die einen neuen Blick auf das schmale Werk des großen Autors ermöglicht.

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.
