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.

Paris Enlightenment

In 1965, in order to find the name "Jean-Louis Lebri de Kerouac", Kerouac went to Paris alone. During the 10 days in Paris (and Brittany), like a lonely traveler, he strolled along the straight boulevards of the Tuileries Gardens, crossed the swaying bridges on the lively Seine River, listened to the "Requiem" in the Saint-Germain des Prés church, and met all kinds of people at the same time: a Breton with blue-black hair and green eyes, who had a gap in his front teeth, just embedded in the lickable lips; the waiter in the gentle girl bar, who kept following "Paris is rotten," he said; a Napoleon-like guard wearing a bicorn hat and a bayonet stared intently at him as he lit a cigarette butt... Then at some point, he had a revelation, a revelation that changed him and allowed him to live in that pattern for the next seven years or more. To be precise, it was an "enlightenment": a "sudden enlightenment," a "sudden awakening," or, to put it simply, "a sudden opening of the eyes." It is with this epiphany that Kerouac tells us about this intoxicating trip to Paris.

This was also a typical characteristic of the "Beat Generation" in the United States at that time. This script echoes Jack Kerouac's classic "On the Road" both textually and ideologically.

I can only say that the illness was related to the exhaustion and sadness of the breakup and my feeling of despair. After I met Dean Moriarty, another phase of my life began, what you might call the "on the road" phase. This legendary novel about freedom and the pursuit of authenticity defined a generation. Inspired by the real-life adventures of Kerouac and his best friend Cassady, On the Road tells the story of a pair of friends who travel across the United States multiple times in search of meaning and authentic experience.

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. It is also a spiritual confession of the young generation against the shackles of the world. It has caused a sensation in the United States since the 1960s and is still a spiritual reading for young people around the world. It is also a timeless American literary classic. In pursuit of individuality, the protagonist of the novel drives across the North American continent with several young men and women. Along the way, they caroused, talked about Eastern Zen Buddhism, and pursued the pure experience of life. In the process of traveling back and forth on the highways between the east and west coasts in pursuit of dreams, young lives are like meteors that burn out quickly, falling until they are separated, but the soul is always yearning for wandering, wandering and distant roads. This translation uses Kerouac's first draft published by Penguin in 2008. Compared with the heavily edited official version, it appears rougher, wilder and more vigorous, and more movingly restores the more authentic inner world of the soul writer of the "Beat Generation".

The "beat generation" statement of faith, the good boy's way, the madman's way, the colorful way, the libertine's way, any way. We still have a longer way to go. But it doesn't matter, the road is life. "On the Road" was written by the writer in three weeks on a roll of typing paper more than thirty meters long. In order to pursue individuality, the protagonist of the novel hitchhiked or drove with several young men and women along the way, crossed the continental United States several times, and finally arrived in Mexico. Along the way, they had fun, talked about Eastern Zen Buddhism, blocked traffic when they were tired, stayed overnight in villages, wandered from New York to San Francisco, and finally separated. The book embodies the author's impromptu and spontaneous writing techniques - the natural flow of thoughts, anti-plot, extensive use of slang, colloquialisms, and long sentences that do not conform to grammatical standards, and extensively touches on American social and cultural customs.
