ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" by Ken Kesey tells the story of R.P. McMurphy, a rebellious newcomer to a mental institution, who feigns insanity to avoid work at a prison farm. Upon his arrival, he encounters a ward ruled by the authoritarian Big Nurse, whose strict methods have suppressed the patients into submission. The narrative follows McMurphy's attempts to disrupt the ward's routines and encourage his fellow patients to assert their individuality. As he challenges the Nurse's control, he inspires both resistance and fear in the other patients, leading them to question the nature of sanity and the systems that seek to control them. The book explores themes of control, rebellion, and the struggle for individual freedom within the confines of a seemingly therapeutic environment.
