Description de l’éditeur
*A darkly comic masterpiece about war, bureaucracy, and the absurdity of trying to stay sane in a world gone mad.*
Set during World War II, _Catch-22_ follows Captain John Yossarian, a U.S. Army Air Forces bombardier stationed on a Mediterranean island. His mission: fly more bombing runs. His problem: the military command keeps raising the number of missions required to go home.
The only way out is to prove you’re insane. But here’s the catch - if you apply to be grounded for being crazy, you’re clearly sane enough to fly. This is Catch-22.
Joseph Heller’s groundbreaking novel blends razor-sharp satire with unforgettable characters and breakneck humor. It’s a story that skewers military red tape, blind authority, and the logic of war itself. Equal parts hilarious and haunting, _Catch-22_ became an instant classic and remains one of the most influential novels of the 20th century.
