内容简介

Catch-22 is like no other novel It is one of the funniest books ever written,a key-stone work in Americal literature,and even added a new term to the dictionary.
At the heart of Cathc-22 resides the incomparable malingering bombardier,Yos sarinal a hero endlessly inventive in his schemes to save his skin form the horrible chances of war.His efforts are perfectly understandable because as he furiously scrambles thousands of people he hasn't even met are trying to kill him.His problem is Colonel Cathcart,who keeps raising the number of missions the men must fly to complete their service.Yet if Yossarian makes any attempts to excuse himself form the perilous missions that he is committed to flying,he is trapped by the Great Loyalty Oath Crusade,the hilariously sinister bureaucratic rule from which the book takes its title:a man is considered insane of he willingly continues to fly dangerous combat missions,but if he makes the necessary formal request to be relieved of such missions the very act of making the request proves that he is sane and therefore ineligible to be relieved.
