One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey
Chief Bromden, whom the authorities believe is deaf and dumb, tells the story of a mental institution ruled by Big Nurse on behalf of the powerful Combine. Into this terrifying world comes McMurphy, a gambling man, who wages war on behalf of his cowed fellow-inmates. What follows is at once hilarious and heroic, tragic and ultimately liberating.
