The boy's name is Holden Caulfield, and he lives in the story "The Catcher in the Rye," which is still idolized by millions of "misunderstood" teenagers. Holden is endowed with "absolute moral hearing" — he instantly discerns falsehoods, his skin is torn off, his nerve endings are exposed, his hypersensitivity is a special kind of radar that picks up what others are calmly passing by. But he is not an angel or a "child of flowers", but a difficult teenager in all his glory.: with their own worries, worries and talents, but with all the "cockroaches" too. But Holden also has a strange but very touching dream. The Catcher in the Rye has been translated into almost all major languages of the world and is included in the list of the 100 best English-language novels.
