One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1962) is a novel written by Ken Kesey. Set in an Oregon psychiatric hospital, the narrative serves as a study of institutional processes and the human mind; including a critique of psychiatry, and a tribute to individualistic principles. It was adapted into the Broadway (and later off-Broadway) play: "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" by Dale Wasserman in 1963. Bo Goldman adapted the novel into a 1975 film (of the same name) directed by Miloš Forman, which won 5 Academy Awards. Time magazine included the novel in its "100 Best English-language Novels from 1923 to 2005" list. In 2003 the book was listed on the BBC's The Big Read poll of the UK's 200 "best-loved novels."
This book was quite an amazing read. I loved following the adventures of McMurphy as he bucked against the system and tried to help those around him. Seeing through the eyes of Bromden with his psychedelic descriptions were like watching a Tom and Jerry cartoon and really made this story enjoyable.
Avrò visto il film un paio di volte, finalmente mi sono deciso a leggere il libro. Il punto di vista del Capo Bromden è assolutamente magnifico, il suo percorso di crescita con le avventure di MacMurphy è una storia a tratti divertente, a volte struggente, ma sempre appassionante. Un applauso in particolare alla caratterizzazione dei personaggi, tutti meravigliosamente descritti. Non credevo che mi avrebbe colpito così positivamente. Consigliatissimo a tutti!
