A cult novel, included in the Times's top 100 most-read novels. Published in the 1960s, a vibrant time of a new generation's protest against greed, depersonalization, war, and violence. Liberalism versus traditionalism, the individual versus the establishment. The novel is stunning in its depth, moving, and makes you think about life, about justice, about the system and its infallibility, about the boundaries of madness and sanity, about freedom, about will, about choice.

A must read. And also watch the film 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' starring Jack Nicholson. Many plays based on the novel have also been staged in various countries, including Russia.

'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' is a raw and devastatingly honest depiction of the boundaries between sanity and madness.

'If anyone wants to feel the pulse of our times, let them read Kesey. 'And if all goes well and the order of things doesn't change, it will be read into the next century,' wrote the Los Angeles Times.

Indeed, even today the book lives on and hasn't lost its incredible popularity. The new translation was done by the young, talented translator Dmitry Shepelev.
