One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

by Ken Kesey
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - Thryft
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - Thryft

Rebellion and mental illness in a classic.

This book is a must-read for those interested in exploring the relationship between rebellion and mental illness. Ken Kesey's portrayal of Randle Patrick McMurphy, an individual who challenges the status quo in a mental hospital, is both entertaining and thought-provoking. The battle between McMurphy and Nurse Ratched is a stunning metaphor for the struggle between individualism and conformity.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

In this classic of the 1960s, Ken Kesey's 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, back 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 story's shocking climax.--back cover
