Anyone who has read J.D. Salinger's New Yorker stories ? particularly A Perfect Day for Bananafish, Uncle Wiggily in Connecticut, The Laughing Man, and For Esme ? With Love and Squalor, will not be surprised by the fact that his first novel is fully of children. The hero-narrator of THE CATCHER IN THE RYE is an ancient child of sixteen, a native New Yorker named Holden Caulfield. Through circumstances that tend to preclude adult, secondhand description, he leaves his prep school in Pennsylvania and goes underground in New York City for three days. The boy himself is at once too simple and too complex for us to make any final comment about him or his story. Perhaps the safest thing we can say about Holden is that he was born in the world not just strongly attracted to beauty but, almost, hopelessly impaled on it. There are many voices in this novel: children's voices, adult voices, underground voices-but Holden's voice is the most eloquent of all. Transcending his own vernacular, yet remaining marvelously faithful to it, he issues a perfectly articulated cry of mixed pain and pleasure. However, like most lovers and clowns and poets of the higher orders, he keeps most of the pain to, and for, himself. The pleasure he gives away, or sets aside, with all his heart. It is there for the reader who can handle it to keep.

Product description

商品説明

1951年に『ライ麦畑でつかまえて』で登場してからというもの、ホールデン・コールフィールドは「反抗的な若者」の代名詞となってきた。ホールデン少年の物語は、彼が16歳のときにプレップ・スクールを放校された直後の生活を描き出したものだが、そのスラングに満ちた語り口は今日でも鋭い切れ味をもっており、ゆえにこの小説が今なお禁書リストに名を連ねることにもつながっている。物語は次の一節で語りだされる。

――もし君が本当に僕の話を聞きたいんだったら、おそらく君が最初に知りたいのは、僕がどこで生まれただとか、しみったれた幼年時代がどんなものだったかとか、僕が生まれる前に両親はどんな仕事をしていたかなんていう「デビッド・カッパーフィルド」調のやつなんだろうけど、僕はそんなこと話す気になんてなれないんだな。第1、そんなの僕自身退屈なだけだし、第2に、もし僕が両親についてひどく私的なことでも話したとしたら、2人ともそれぞれ2回ずつくらい頭に血を上らせることになってしまうからね――。

ホールデン少年は、教師をはじめとしてインチキなやつら（いうまでもなくこの両者は互いに相容れないものではない）と遭遇することになるのだが、こうした人物に向けられる風刺がきいた彼の言葉の数々は、10代の若者が誰しも味わう疎外感の本質をしっかりと捉えている。

レビュー

"In Mr. Salinger we have a fresh voice. One can actually hear it speaking, and what is has to say is uncannily true, perceptive, and compassionate."―Clifton Fadiman, Book-of-the-Month Club News

"We read The Catcher in the Rye and feel like the book understands us in deep and improbable ways."―John Green

"A contemporary master--a genius...Here was a man who used language as if it were pure energy beautifully controlled, and who knew exactly what he was doing in every silence as well as in every word."―Richard Yates, New York Times Book Review

"Salinger's work meant a lot to me when I was a young person and his writing still sings now."―Dave Eggers

退学が決まった学生の三日間の出来事、出会い。ナイーブな若者の率直な感情が描かれる。多くの文末にand allをつけたり、一見くどいような繰り返し表現が、主人公の性格を表しており、このニュアンスは翻訳では味わえない。是非、原書で読まれる事をお薦めする。

まだ果てしなく未来がつながっていて、持て余していた頃を思い出した。人生の核心を突く言葉がはらりとこぼれ落ちるのを、夢中で受け止めた。青春の一冊を原文で読めるなら、歳とることも悪くない。

訳書ではなくて、原著だからこそ見えるものがある。その逆も無きにしも非ずだけど、とにかく原著読まずして、ライ麦語るべからず。と私の意見です。

マスマーケットって

Reviewed in Japan on January 12, 2005

Verified Purchase

どんなエディションだろうと思って、怖いものみたさでマスマーケット版を買いましたが、なんてことはないちょっと質の粗いペーパーバックですね。
本屋でTOEIC860点レベルとラベルが貼られてましたが、口語に慣れていれば全然そんなレベルがなくても簡単に原書でよむことができます。俗っぽい表現、古臭いNY訛りが気になりますが、複雑な文体とかそういうものとは無縁ですし、言葉以上に訴えかけてくる内容だと思います。
内容の方は、「ベストセラー」という言葉から連想されるようなポジティブな内容ではありませんでした。
誰もが持ってる心の暗い部分を強調したような主人公は、当時のアメリカの社会を象徴しているのかもしれません。物質的に満ちているけど、何か足りない…不景気、高学歴社会の日本でも似たような感覚はあると思うので何かと共感できると思います

旅のお供にも・・・

Reviewed in Japan on February 25, 2013

Verified Purchase

主人公の思春期真っ只中の１７歳の少年が、ニューヨークで出会う人やモノ、社会に根付く常識などに反発する様子がビシビシと伝わってくる。私がこの本を読んでいたのは一人旅の途中ということもあり、様々な町を歩きいろいろな新しいものに出会う機会が多かったが、主人公のHoldenがもつ強いの考え方や哲学に影響され、普段とは異なる見方や感じ方を与えてくれたように思う。
多くの大人が少しは経験したであろう、１０代の青年が持つ独特の感性をテンポ良い文章で存分に感じられる一冊。
英語ですが比較的読みやすい。

This book is rubbish. I bought and read it after hearing it was a brilliant classic but I honestly think people probably think the same as I do but to not appear uneducated or think they have to suck up to the literature snobs they claim it’s wonderful!! It’s not!!

very disappointed!

Reviewed in India on July 1, 2017

Verified Purchase

It is undoubtedly a book everyone must read. But major complaint to the seller/publisher which I hope Amazon will look into it. I recently got aound to reading the books some months after buying it. On opening the book, I found that after pg 50, the next fifty pages had been skipped from the book. And the remaining pages were jumbled up, some were double printed on the same page, some were diagonally printed. As a result, could not read the book beyond the first fifty pages.

I don't think k it is an original penguin print, i am pretty sure the seller is selling a plagarised version of this book. My advice, definitely read this book but do NOT buy from this seller/publisher, very disappointed!

I believe this book is about a fish that is trying to find his son,but his son is in a glass box full of water near to a dentist in Tasmania or somewhere near there.Sounds a bit wacky but I'm a sucker for a dentist story.

You're all a bunch of phonies

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 8, 2018

Verified Purchase

I had heard of this novel for many years before I got around to reading it and I had no idea what it was about when I started it. But I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it. I found the use of language excellent and the lead character extremely likeable. Many of the scenes and phrases used in the book stayed with me long after I put it down and made me think. This book is also extremely short, you can read it in a week easy so give it a go. I would highly recommend it.

A deeply moving story

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 12, 2018

Verified Purchase

This book was recommended to me, and I'd not heard of it before, so didn't have any preconceived ideas. I found it extremely well written with some profound insights. Although it's very much of it's time (1950s), it's also 'modern' in many ways. The narrator, Holden Caufield, takes us through two days in his life the previous December, and I found his unfolding psychological crisis deeply moving, and can't understand those reviews who say they found it boring. I would certainly recommend this book.
