The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of the mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one.
The Catcher in the Rye
Hamilton, 1951.
First UK edition. Original blue cloth lettered in silver on the spine in stylish pictorial dustwrapper designed by Fritz Wegner. A near fine copy, with some fading to the edges of the boards, in a very good dustwrapper indeed, with a small chip to the lower right corner of the front panel and light wear to the spine ends.
The author's first book and the classic coming of age book. As the blurb says, "...Salinger has achieved a remarkable feat in his analysis of the heart and mind of an American adolescent."
"That's the thing about girls. Every time they do something pretty, even if they're not much to look at, or even if they're sort of stupid, you fall in love with them, and then you never know where the hell you are. Girls. Jesus Christ. They can drive you crazy. They really can." (Catcher in the Rye).
