On the occasion of the centenary of J.D. Salinger's birth in 1919, Penguin re-releases all four of his books in beautiful collectible hardcover editions. This collection includes nine exquisite stories from one of the greatest voices in 20th-century American literature. "For Esmé - with Love and Squalor" is witty, cosmopolitan, and often poignant, and is considered one of Salinger's best works - a gem to be passed down from generation to generation.
