A cult novel that is among the hundred most read books according to The Times. Published in the sixties, a vibrant time of protest by the new generation against greed, dehumanization, war, and violence. Liberalism versus traditionalism, the individual versus the establishment. The novel is profoundly moving and thought-provoking, raising questions about life, justice, the system and its infallibility, the boundaries between insanity and normality, freedom, willpower, and choice. Like numerous sensational events associated with the name of "merry prankster" Ken Kesey, his first book, "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," made quite a stir in the American literary scene. Kesey was recognized as a highly talented writer, and the novel became one of the defining works for the Beat and hippie generations.
