Jack Kerouac (Jean-Louis Lebry de Kerouac, 1922-1969) was a writer of the epoch, a writer-paradox, who sowed the wind and before he knew it he had reaped a storm that has not subsided in our times. Coming from an impoverished family of French aristocrats, he became the voice of protesting American youth and introduced young American intellectuals to Buddhism. Critics arrogantly overlooked him; nonconformist readers carried him in their arms.
Exuberant... Lyrical... Sensual... Wild... Energetic... These were the epithets used by early critics to describe this novel by Jack Kerouac, the book that ignited the entire hippie generation. The saga of two wanderers from the West Coast of America and the story of their unbridled search for Truth and Rejection. Unchained girls, free love, rivers of wine and Eastern mysticism - so begins their spiritual wanderings. But true Enlightenment comes only at the top of a lonely mountain, in the intimate solitude that carries them to the heights... Jack Kerouac's novel in 1958 tore down all barriers and led the reader from the swinging bars of San Francisco to the snowy peaks of the Sierra. New generations of readers found in it sexual orgies - long before the "summer of love", and free jazz improvisations - even before rock music, and poetic "love strikes", and marathons of drunkenness indulged in by young people hooked on sensuality and seeking to "fly away". Dharma vagabonds.
