An international bestseller and the basis for the hugely successful film, Ken Kesey’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is one of the defining works of the 1960s.
In this classic novel, Ken Kesey’s hero is Randle Patrick McMurphy, a boisterous, brawling, fun-loving rebel who swaggers into the world of a mental hospital and takes over. A lusty, life-affirming fighter, McMurphy rallies the other patients around him by challenging the dictatorship of Nurse Ratched. He promotes gambling in the ward, smuggles in wine and women, and openly defies the rules at every turn. But this defiance, which starts as a sport, soon develops into a grim struggle, an all-out war between two relentless opponents: Nurse Ratched, backed by the full power of authority, and McMurphy, who has only his own indomitable will. What happens when Nurse Ratched uses her ultimate weapon against McMurphy provides the story’s shocking climax.

Zeharo matxista. Asko gustatuko zitzaidalakoan hartu nuen liburua, baina ez nuen batere asmatu. Argi dago gauza onak badituela eta interesgarriak, baina ezin izan dut disfrutatu matxismoz beteta baitago dena. Pertsonaia (ia) guztiak matxistak izatea nahikoa ez balitz, emakumeen presentzia liburu osoan zehar guztiz desitxuratua eta mugatua da.
This book was quite an amazing read. I loved following the adventures of McMurphy as he bucked against the system and tried to help those around him. Seeing through the eyes of Bromden with his psychedelic descriptions were like watching a Tom and Jerry cartoon and really made this story enjoyable.
Avrò visto il film un paio di volte, finalmente mi sono deciso a leggere il libro. Il punto di vista del Capo Bromden è assolutamente magnifico, il suo percorso di crescita con le avventure di MacMurphy è una storia a tratti divertente, a volte struggente, ma sempre appassionante. Un applauso in particolare alla caratterizzazione dei personaggi, tutti meravigliosamente descritti. Non credevo che mi avrebbe colpito così positivamente. Consigliatissimo a tutti!
