[英文原版]Catch-22(Paperback)/JosephHeller 第二十二条军规 作者 : Joseph Heller 出版社: Vintage Classics 副标题: 50th Anniversary Edition 出版年: 2011-6-23 页数: 544 定价: GBP 7.99 装帧: Paperback ISBN: 9780099529125 Explosive, subversive, wild and funny, 50 years on the novel's strength is undiminished. Reading Joseph Heller's classic satire is nothing less than a rite of passage. Set in the closing months of World War II, this is the story of a bombardier named Yossarian who is frantic and furious because thousands of people he has never met are trying to kill him. 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. If Yossarian makes any attempts to excuse himself from the perilous missions then he is caught in Catch-22: if he flies he is crazy, and doesn't have to; but if he doesn't want to he must be sane and has to. That's some catch.
