Sal Paradise, young and innocent, joins the slightly crazed Dean Moriarty on a breathless, exuberant ride back and forth across the United States. Their hedonistic search for release or fulfilment through drink, sex, drugs and jazz becomes an exploration of personal freedom, a test of the limits of the american dream.
A brilliant blend of fiction and autobiography, Jack Kerouac´s exhilarating novel defined the new “beat” generation. It had tremendous impact on both sides of the Atlantic and made him famous overnight.
“On the Road sold a trillion levis and a million espresso machines, and also send countless kids on the road … The alienation, the restlessness, the dissatisfaction were already there waiting when Kerouac pointed out the road” – William Burroughs
