Description: A scarce fourth impression of the classic tale of The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger. Fourth impression, 1958. First published in the UK in 1951. Originally intended for adults, it is often read by adolescents for its themes of angst and alienation, and as a critique of superficiality in society. The novel also deals with complex issues of innocence, identity, belonging, loss, connection, sex, and depression. Written by Jerome David Salinger, an American author best known for this work. The novel was named by Modern Library and its readers as one of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century. In the original blue cloth binding. Externally, smart with light bumping and fading to the extremities. Original unclipped dust wrapper sound with chipping to the extremities and a few closed tears, particularly to the front board. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean throughout. Very Good
