One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is one of the most electrifying, most admired novels of our time. Set in the bleak confines of a state mental hospital, it’s the story of a titanic battle of wills between two unforgetable characters.

On one side is Big Nurse, who rules her ward with iron discipline. On the other is Randle Patrick McMurphy, a lustful, brawling, life-loving new inmate who refuses to knuckle under to Big Nurse’s soul-destoying methods. In the end, McMurphy pays the ultimate price for his defiance—but not before his rebellious spirit has shown Chief Bromden the way to reclaim his own future.

Scaglio 📚 reviewed Qualcuno volò sul nido del cuculo by Ken Kesey

Bellissimo, appassiona e non molla

5 stars

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!

ATMmachine reviewed One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey (Modern Classics)

Unmatched modern classic

5 stars

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.
