On the Road

by Jack Kerouac, Ann Charters
On the Road - Thryft
On the Road - Thryft

Rhythmic journey through underground America.

"On the Road" would be a great read for anyone interested in the Beat Generation and their unconventional way of life. The book's unique and distinctive feature is its portrayal of the American Dream through the eyes of non-conformists. It is a must-read for those who enjoy vivid descriptions of travel and self-discovery, and who appreciate prose that is both poetic and raw.

  • Grammy Award Nominee for Best Spoken Word Album (2001)

Description

On The Road swings to the rhythms of 1950s underground America, jazz, sex, generosity, chill dawns and drugs, with Sal Paradise and his hero Dean Moriarty, traveller and mystic, the living epitome of Beat. Now recognized as a modern classic, Kerouac's American Dream is nearer that of Walt Whitman than F. Scott Fitzgerald's, and the narrative goes racing towards the sunset with unforgettable exuberance, poignancy and passion.
