Summary
 This fiftieth-anniversary edition commemorates Joseph Heller’s masterpiece with a new introduction; critical essays and reviews by Norman Mailer, Alfred Kazin, Anthony Burgess, and others; rare papers and photos; and much more.

Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read.

Now a Hulu limited series starring Christopher Abbott, George Clooney, Kyle Chandler, and Hugh Laurie.

Fifty years after its original publication, Catch-22 remains a cornerstone of American literature and one of the funniest—and most celebrated—books of all time. In recent years it has been named to “best novels” lists by Time, Newsweek, the Modern Library, and the London Observer.

Set in Italy during World War II, this is the story of the incomparable, malingering bombardier, Yossarian, a hero who is furious because thousands of people he has never met are trying to kill him. But his real problem is not the enemy—it is his own army, which keeps increasing the number of missions the men must fly to complete their service. Yet if Yossarian makes any attempt to excuse himself from the perilous missions he’s assigned, he’ll be in violation of Catch-22, a hilariously sinister bureaucratic rule: a man is considered insane if he willingly continues to fly dangerous combat missions, but if he makes a formal request to be removed from duty, he is proven sane and therefore ineligible to be relieved.

This fiftieth-anniversary edition commemorates Joseph Heller’s masterpiece with a new introduction by Christopher Buckley; a wealth of critical essays and reviews by Norman Mailer, Alfred Kazin, Anthony Burgess, and others; rare papers and photos from Joseph Heller’s personal archive; and much more. Here, at last, is the definitive edition of a classic of world literature. Classics Dark Humour Genre Fiction Literature & Fiction Satire

Incroyablement futé, drôle et désespéré en même temps. Les paradoxes et la dimension absurde sont vraiment fascinants. Le lecteur fait un travail remarquable et donne vraiment vie aux personnages. Je me suis régalée. Merci !

Quel chef d'oeuvre!

I just couldn’t - tried twice - but sounds like an okd man babbling on about old dear stories, uninteresting to anyone not in the joke. Thoroughly misled by the number of stars

Thoroughly disappointed

This is the 20th audio book I have listened, and by far the worst one. It's not a book to listen to, as there are many, many dialogues shouted, and the voice is a real bummer. I finished to know the whole story but it was tedious and it took me 4 months (usually, I can listen to any audio book in 3-4 weeks max).

Definitely would NOT recommend
