Here is the unforgettable story of a mental ward and its inhabitants, especially the tyrannical Big Nurse Ratched and Randle Patrick McMurphy, the brawling, fun-loving new inmate who resolves to oppose her. We see the struggle through the eyes of Chief Bromden, the seemingly mute half-Indian patient who witnesses and understands McMurphy's heroic attempt to do battle with the awesome powers that keep them all imprisoned. 2100252 book 1962 One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest total:27657|5:11085|4:11098|3:4535|2:764|1:175| 27657 115125 35816 1315 5 9 false false Wed Jun 13 06:43:38 -0700 2007 Sun Feb 03 19:33:40 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 11 false false Sun Nov 16 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Nov 16 14:04:08 -0800 2008 Sun Nov 16 16:16:43 -0800 2008
