Sal Paradise, young and innocent, joins the slightly crazed Dean Moriarty on a breathless, exuberant ride back and forth across the United States. Their hedonistic search for release or fulfilment through drink, sex, drugs and jazz becomes an exploration of personal freedom, a test of the limits of the American Dream.

'On the Road sold a trillion Levis and a million espresso machines, and also sent countless kids on the road. The alienation, the restlessness, the dissatisfaction were already there waiting when Kerouac pointed out the road' William Burroughs

'Pop writing at its best. It changed the way I saw the world, making me yearn for fresh experience' Hanif Kureishi, Independent on Sunday

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Jack Kerouac

Jack Kerouac nasceu em Lowell, no Massachusetts em 1922. Em 1947, entusiasmado pelo bebop, e pela atitude rebelde do seu amigo Neal Cassidy, decidiu partir à descoberta da América, atravessando o país à boleia. Na escrita, claramente autobiográfica, desenvolveu um estilo que definiu como «prosa espontânea» e que utilizou para registar as experiências da Geração Beat. Entre os seus vários romances, destacam-se On the Road, Maggie Cassidy, The Subterraneans, The Dharma Bums e Big Sur.
Morreu em 1969.
