On the Road
by Jack Kerouac
About This Novel
This book tells the story from Sal's perspective of four road trips he, Dean and others took across the continental United States. Along the way, they caroused, talked about Eastern Zen Buddhism, and pursued the pure experience of life. They burn themselves and explore the world to their heart's content, pursuing the true meaning of life and the freedom of the soul. As the spiritual autobiography of the soul of the "Beat Generation", "On the Road" is known as the manifesto of the "Beat Generation" literary movement and a spiritual confession of the young generation against the shackles of the world. It caused a sensation in the United States after its publication in the 1960s. It is still a spiritual reading for young people around the world and is a timeless American literary classic.
