O Apanhador no Campo de Centeio
Posted on: 01/05/2009
Depois de uma pausa na leitura, devido ao frenesi de fim de ano, o Book Club volta com todo gás para muitas leituras em 2009. E o livro de janeiro é o Apanhador no Campo de Centeio, de J. D. Salinger, que conta a história de um jovem de 16 anos e sua vida no colégio para rapazes, o Pencey.
Não vou contar mais do livro porque não é essa a intenção, mas posso contar uma curiosidade no mínimo sinistra, tirada do Wikipédia: “O assassino de John Lennon, Mark David Chapman, carregava este livro no bolso, no dia que cometeu o assassinato.”
A data do encontro ainda não foi definida, mas nossa anfitriã Lu, vai nos falar em breve.

Aninha, acho q rolou um medo a toa!! hehe
Do wikipedia – Primeiro paragrafo explica bem!!!
Writer Bruce Brooks noted that Holden’s attitude remains unchanged at story’s end, implying no maturation, thus differentiating the novel from young adult fiction[9]. Analogously, Louis Menand says teachers assign it because of the optimistic ending, to teach adolescent readers that “alienation is just a phase”[10]; while Brooks maintains that Holden acts his age, Menand observed that Holden thinks as an adult, given his ability to accurately perceive people and their motives. The Catcher in the Rye has been interpreted as positing only a negative answer to the social problems it criticizes; its philosophy is negatively compared with that of Jean-Jacques Rousseau.[11]
Each Caulfield child has literary talent: D.B. writes screenplays in Hollywood; Holden passed his English course, though failed everything else; Allie writes poetry; and Phoebe is a diarist. Moreover, her character is an important influence upon Holden; her name denotes and derives from the Greek Phoibus — the Greek god for the sun and the moon, suggesting she is oracle and catalyst for the boy who sees himself as the catcher in the rye at a cliff-side rye field where children play tag, whom he catches, and saves from themselves, when they stray too near the edge. [12] Phoebe and Holden exchange roles as the Catcher and the Fallen; he gives her his hunting hat, the catcher’s symbol, and becomes the fallen as Phoebe becomes the catcher. [13]
At story’s end, Holden grasps that he can neither take control of Phoebe’s life nor prevent her from growing up. Inevitably, she will make mistakes as she matures, but he sees that he must allow her to grab the “gold ring” on the merry-go-round — symbolic of adolescent error. The merry go round also symbolizes that what goes around comes around and that life will always come around. Inevitably, that will include existential “phoniness”, therefore, protagonist Holden has matured, coming to terms with his inability to be the “catcher” for Phoebe, and all other children — he must allow them to grow up.
Pra quem não sabe, o filme da vez foi Capitulo 27, que conta a história do Mark David Chapman e os 3 dias que ele passa em NY antes de matar o John Lennon. Impressionante! Quem quiser entender o livro e a historia do assassinato o filme e bem legal. E o Jared Leto ficou IGUAAAALL ao Mark Chapman.
