One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey

Set in a mental institution, this classic novel follows the rebellious Randle McMurphy as he challenges the oppressive authority of Nurse Ratched. Kesey explores themes of individuality, freedom, and the struggle against dehumanizing systems. Darkly humorous, poignant, and thought-provoking, the book remains a landmark of 20th-century American literature.
