On The Road
On September 5, 1957, Jack Kerouac?s novel On The Road was published. Since then, few books have had as profound an impact on American culture. Pulsating with the rhythms of late-1940s/1950s underground America, jazz, sex, illicit drugs, and the mystery and promise of the open road, Kerouac?s classic novel of freedom and longing defined what it meant to be?Beat? and has inspired generations of writers, musicians, artists, poets and seekers who cite their discovery of the book as the event that?set them free.? Based on Kerouac?s adventures with Neal Cassady, On The Road tells the story of two friends whose four cross-country road trips are a quest for meaning and true experience. Expressing a mixture of sad-eyed naïveté and wild abandon, and imbued with Kerouac?s love of America, his compassion for humanity, and his sense of language as jazz, On The Road is the quintessential American vision of freedom and hope. It changed American literature and changed anyone who has ever picked it up.

On the Road Again
Author: Bruce Thomas
language: en
Publisher: Bentwyck Henry Publishers Limited
Release Date: 2003-06-01
In 1957, Jack Kerouac published On the Road, a loosely structured account of his hitchhiking adventures across America. Bruce Thomas' journey takes him around the UK and the USA. For both writers, the road becomes a metaphor for an inner journey -- as well as the actual roads being travelled. On the Road Again by Bruce Thomas is a compelling story of discovery. While holding down a career as both musician and writer, a series of deeply disturbing experiences, starting with a mugging, lead the author on a journey, first to Scotland and then to Arizona and New Mexico. Meetings with remarkable men and women who have extra-ordinary powers, lead to the discovery of a supernatural reality behind the natural world. The climax of On the Road Again is a solitary journey of initiation that leads to an earth shattering insight -- one that guarantees that life can never be the same again.
