Antes de que el LSD y las andanzas con los Alegres Bromistas (relatadas por Tom Wolfe en Ponche de ácido lisérgico) le convirtieran en uno de los personajes míticos del underground de los años sesenta, Ken Kesey ya había publicado Alguien voló sobre el nido del cuco, una auténtica «novela de culto». En 1960 Ken Kesey, estudiante universitario, se ofreció como voluntario para los experimentos sobre drogas psicodélicas que los psiquiatras de un hospital californiano ensayaban para futuros usos terapéuticos. De esta experiencia personal nació Alguien voló sobre el nido del cuco. Su protagonista, Randle McMurphy, que se finge loco para escapar a los rigores de la cárcel, es destinado a la sala del hospital psiquiátrico que dirige Ratched, la sádica Gran Enfermera. McMurphy, vital, generoso, amoral y rebelde, librará una guerra contra la Gran Enfermera. Las batallas serán divertidas y cruentas; algunos internos perderán en ellas la vida, y otros descubrirán los encantos del sexo, la bebida, la libertad y la rebelión permanentes. Ken Kesey's bracing, inslightful novel about the meaning of madness and the value of self-reliance A mordant, wickedly subversive parable set in a mental ward, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest chronicles the head-on collision between its hell-raising, life-affirming hero Randle Patrick McMurphy and the totalitarian rule of Big Nurse. McMurphy swaggers into the mental ward like a blast of fresh air and turns the place upside down, starting a gambling operation, smuggling in wine and women, and egging on the other patients to join him in open rebellion. But McMurphy's revolution against Big Nurse and everything she stands for quickly turns from sport to a fierce power struggle with shattering results.

HTML:An international bestseller and the basis for the hugely successful film, Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is one of the defining works of the 1960s. In this classic novel, Ken Keseys hero is Randle Patrick McMurphy, a boisterous, brawling, fun-loving rebel who swaggers into the world of a mental hospital and takes over. A lusty, life-affirming fighter, McMurphy rallies the other patients around him by challenging the dictatorship of Nurse Ratched. He promotes gambling in the ward, smuggles in wine and women, and openly defies the rules at every turn. But this defiance, which starts as a sport, soon develops into a grim struggle, an all-out war between two relentless opponents: Nurse Ratched, backed by the full power of authority, and McMurphy, who has only his own indomitable will. What happens when Nurse Ratched uses her ultimate weapon against McMurphy provides the storys shocking climax.
