Dharma Wanderer
by Jack Kerouac
About This Novel
This is a novel about the backpack revolution, natural spirit, life thinking and the way of Zen. It tells the story of two passionate young people, Jaffe and Raymond, in 1955, pursuing truth and Zen principles. They pursue the intuition, purity and beauty of life with their special worldview. The marathon carnival and the indulgent "Yayong" in San Francisco are undoubtedly the best annotations of freedom. The poet's feelings and the ascetic journey of the dervish, after being washed by the Matterhorn and Solitary Peak, make the world seem so clear. One year after the publication of "On the Road", Kerouac dedicated "Dharma Wanderer" to Han Shanzi, and outlined a pilgrimage route for Zen lunatics and mountain backpackers on the west coast of the United States. It also established the literary map of the "Beat Generation" and added a touch of oriental color.
