by Milota Sidorova
Just few weeks after his 91st birthday, the author of the world well known novel “The Catcher in the Rye”, John Salinger died in his home in New Hapshire on January 27. According some comments Salinger had had an extraordinary health and didn't suffer during the death.The title about his death came across the magazines all over the world. But there was also something disturbing within the message. It was too peaceful, there was nothing glamorous that such deaths of such people bring along. Salinger gained a public success, soon after the Catcher was published. He struggled the attention, but soon got over from the sights. He moved back into his house, carefully ! keeping his privacy.He had also published less frequently. That is a pose rarely seen these days.It is the clear and prompting step back, showing the world, the fame means less than nothing.And that's more than sympathetic about Salinger.As a person, he had had huge experiences during his lifetime. His childhood was about accomplishing his parent's wishes, for instance to being a meat importer from Austria. He moved into the U.S. army and survived the battle of Normandia. After the liberation of the Germany, he visited concentration camps and worked with the war prisoners. He also met Hemingway with whom he kept corresponding during the wartime.Being stressed and hurt by the trauma of war he returned back and as many of his generation he had never fully recovered. That was visible from his work. He used young heros with whom he had identified. They used energetic and honest language. The honesty went to the bones and mixed with fears and the needles pinching the soul, this ! style made him an innovator and a successful book seller. Neve! rtheless he hated this pose, but remained strong defendant of his work. The Catcher had various extentions, written by another authors. Salinger always put them on a trial. He said there was the only one Holden Caulfield. Salinger also turned down all the proposals to adapt this novel. According to him, only one person could play Caulfield – it would be him.
