Description

The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger is a classic coming-of-age novel that follows sixteen-year-old Holden Caulfield after he is expelled from his prep school. Wandering through New York City, Holden struggles with feelings of alienation, confusion, and disillusionment as he searches for meaning and authenticity in a world he sees as “phony.” Through his cynical yet vulnerable voice, the novel explores themes of innocence, identity, and the painful transition from adolescence to adulthood. Salinger’s honest portrayal of teenage angst has made the book a timeless reflection of youthful rebellion and emotional turmoil.
