Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. Jaume Llorens La narració ens arriba a travès de la veu del "Jefe" indi, intern suposadament sordmut que ens explica la vida diària a l'establiment. Consta de tres parts, la primera on ens explica la descripció dels interns i l'arribada d'un nou malalt al manicomi, la seva rebel·lia vers una sèrie de normes imposades que només serveixen per anar afeblint les forces i les ganes de viure dels interns.(La boira que descriu en el relat és real o bé és un producte dels efectes medicamentosos?) En la segona part s'ens descriu l'alliberament de deu malalts en sortir d'excursió un dia a pescar i navegar. En la tercera la rivalitat entre el darrer intern i l'enfermera en cap desencadena un final desastrós per a ell i alliberador pel narrador.
In this masterful representation of the relationships that develop between patients and staff in an Oregon institution, Kesey explores the all-important questions of who is mentally well, who is unwell, and who makes that distinction. Both an allegory of individualism and a heart-tearing psychological drama, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest manages to be uplifting without giving an inch to the seductions of sentimentality. 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 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. [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.

HTML: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 Keseys 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 storys shocking climax. BRILLIANT!Time A SMASHING ACHIEVEMENT...A TRULY ORIGINAL NOVEL!Mark Schorer Mr. Kesey has created a world that is convincing, alive and glowing within its own boundaries...His is a large, robust talent, and he has written a large, robust book.Saturday Review.
