One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Ken Kesey

In the early 1960s, while studying at the university, Ken Kesey worked for several months as a medical orderly in a psychiatric ward of a hospital. It was there, on night shifts, that he began writing his debut novel, "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Through the eyes of the half-breed Indian Chief Bromden, who is considered deaf and dumb by everyone, the reader will see the heroic struggle of the cheerful swindler Randall Patrick McMurphy against the powerful Combine, which has already conquered all human life. For more than half a century, this unsurpassed novel has attracted new generations of readers.
