Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest captured the radical anti-establishment mood of 1960s America. Tyrannical Nurse Ratched rules her psychiatric ward with an iron fist and a penchant for electric shock therapy, so when the boisterous McMurphy arrives - intent on disruption and showing the other patients a good time - a titanic battle of wills emerges. Kesey explores the shadowy boundaries between conformity and individuality, sanity and madness, with devastating effect.

Bellissimo, appassiona e non molla

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!

Unmatched modern classic

Ken Kesey wrote an absolutely perfect story, the plot grips you asking what McMurphy will dare next, written from a perspective that happily contextualizes and compares the exploits of McMurphy, until the very end. This is a must read book for anyone interested psychiatry and a tribute to Ken Kesey's literary power.
