On the Road (masterpieces of Foreign Literature Series)
by Jack Kerouac
About This Novel
"On the Road" tells the story of Sal Parades, Dean Mariadi and others who traveled extensively in the United States, Mexico and other places. It is recognized as a classic work of the "Beats". It was selected into the "Time" magazine's 100 best English novels of the 20th century, the Library of America's 100 best novels in the world in the 20th century, and the British BBC's readers' 100 favorite novels. It is a classic in the history of American literature and even the history of world literature. In 1962, five translators, Huang Yushi, Shi Xianrong, Li Wenjun, Liu Huiqin, and He Ru, took the pseudonyms "Shi Rong and Wen Huiru" as their pen names, and worked together to translate and publish China's first excerpt of "On the Road". The publication was close to the era of the original text, and the language was accurate. Later, Mr. Huang Yisi, Huang Yushi's son, completed the supplementary translation, allowing the work to meet readers in both form and spirit. This collection is included in the "Foreign Literature Masterpiece Series", which is the first time that our company has added this variety to the classic series. In the form of a story, this book vividly and profoundly shows readers the various drawbacks of a confused life, and encourages young people to find the direction of life. At the end of the article, Mr. Huang Yushi, one of the translators of this book, elaborates on the different manifestations of the Beats, investigates the social reasons for their emergence, raises a warning, and provides readers with further correct guidance.
