One of The Atlantic’s Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years
Boisterous, ribald, and ultimately shattering, Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest has left an indelible mark on the literature of our time. Turning conventional notions of sanity and insanity on their heads, the novel tells the unforgettable story of a mental ward and its inhabitants, especially tyrannical Big Nurse Ratched and Randle Patrick McMurphy, the brawling, fun-loving new inmate who resolves to oppose her. We see the story through the eyes of Chief Bromden, the seemingly mute half-Indian patient who witnesses and understands McMurphy's heroic attempt to do battle with the powers that keep them all imprisoned.
Hailed upon its publication as "a glittering parable of good and evil" (The New York Times Book Review) and "a roar of protest against middlebrow society's Rules and the invisible Rulers who enforce them" (Time), Kesey's powerful book went on to sell millions of copies and remains as bracing and insightful today as when it was first released. This new deluxe hardcover edition commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of the original publication of the novel on February 1, 1962, and will be a must have for any literature lover.

Descripción del producto
Críticas
--The New York Times Book Review
"[A] brilliant first novel . . . a strong, warm story about the nature of human good and evil . . . Keysey has made his book a roar of protest against middlebrow society's Rules and the invisible Rulers who enforce them."
--Time
"The final triumph of these men at the cost of a terrifying sacrifice should send chills down any reader's back. . . . This novel's scenes have the liveliness of a motion picture."
--The Washington Post
"An outstanding book . . . [Kesey's] characters are original and real. . . . This is a tirade against the increasing controls over man and his mind, yet the author never gets on a soap box. Nor does he forget that there is a thin line between tragedy and comedy."
--Houston Chronicle
Biografía del autor

Psychedelic sixties. God knows whatever that means it certainly meant far more than drugs, though drugs still work as a pretty good handle to the phenomena.
I grabbed at that handle. Legally, too, I might add. Almost patriotically, in fact. Early psychedelic sixties...
Eight o'clock every Tuesday morning I showed up at the vet's hospital in Menlo Park, ready to roll. The doctor deposited me in a little room on his ward, dealt me a couple of pills or a shot or a little glass of bitter juice, then locked the door. He checked back every forty minutes to see if I was still alive, took some tests, asked some questions, left again. The rest of the time I spent studying the inside of my forehead, or looking out the little window in the door. It was six inches wide and eight inches high, and it had heavy chicken wire inside the glass.
You get your visions through whatever gate you're granted.
Patients straggled by in the hall outside, their faces all ghastly confessions. Sometimes I looked at them and sometimes they looked at me. but rarely did we look at one another. It was too naked and painful. More was revealed in a human face than a human being can bear, face-to-face.
Sometimes the nurse came by and checked on me. Her face was different. It was painful business, but not naked. This was not a person you could allow yourself to be naked in front of.
Six months or so later I had finished the drug experiments and applied for a job. I was taken on as a nurse's aide, in the same ward, with the same doctor, under the same nurse—and you must understand we're talking about a huge hospital here! It was weird.
But, as I said, it was the sixties.
Those faces were still there, still painfully naked. To ward them off my case I very prudently took to carrying around a little notebook, to scribble notes. I got a lot of compliments from nurses: "Good for you, Mr. Kesey. That's the spirit. Get to know these men."
I also scribbled faces. No, that's not correct. As I prowl through this stack of sketches I can see that these faces bored their way behind my forehead and scribbled themselves. I just held the pen and waited for the magic to happen.
This was, after all, the sixties.
Ken Kesey

Wie bereits erwähnt trägt sich der Großteil der Handlung in einer Irrenanstalt in den 50er Jahren zu, um genau zu sein in einem bestimmten Flügel dieser Anstalt. Zwar sind fragwürdige Therapiemethoden wie die Wassertherapie bereits abgeschafft, allerdings werden den Patienten zu ihrem eigenen Wohl auch weiterhin Elektroschocks und Lobotomien zu Teil. Der Flügel, in dem die Geschichte spielt, wird von der Großen Schwester beherrscht, das Paradebeispiel eines Blockwarts oder Nazi-Schergens, der mit Angst regiert und die Insassen untereinander ausspielt. Der Leser verfolgt die Geschichte durch die Augen eines schizophrenen Indianers, der vermutlich zu viele Elektroschocks bekommen hat, weshalb man manche Ereignisse für Ausgeburten seines Hirns halten kann/möchte.
Das beschauliche Leben in dem Flügel sowie die Schreckensherrschaft der Großen Schwester und ihrer Helfershelfer geraten ins Wanken, als ein neuer Patient auftaucht, der gegen ihre Psycho-Spielchen immun zu sein scheint. Was Anfangs noch wie eine fröhliche Revolution wirkt, endet böse...
Sprachlich ist das ganze für Menschen, die nicht so sicher in der Englischen Sprache sind eventuell etwas anspruchsvoll, aber dieses Buch lohnt sich definitiv! Die Anstalt und auch die Schwester stehen für bekannte Motive, die uns auch heute noch begegnen und uns Allen täte ein bisschen von McMurphys "Eiern" gut.
