SALINGER J[erome] D[avid] - Catcher in the Rye. Translated by. Maria Skibniewska. Warsaw 1961; Iskry. 16d, pp. 261, [3]. Booklet, wrappers.
Very good condition. Cover by Jan Młodożeniec. First Polish edition of Salinger's acclaimed novel, first published in 1951 (original: "The Catcher in the Rye"). "Soon after its publication it became one of the most stigmatized books in the United States. The book was controversial due to, among other things, its handling of themes related to underage sexuality and the use of vulgarities by the main character. Although it was originally published as a book for adult readers, it is now on the high school and college reading lists in all English-speaking countries. It has been translated into almost all major languages of the world [...]. The book's main character, Holden Caulfield, has become an icon of teenage rebels and provocateurs" (Wikipedia).
