Sinopsis	Sal Paradise, el protagonista de esta historia, sigue los pasos de Dean Moriarty, trasunto del legendario Neal Cassady, el icono de la Generación Beat. Atravesando América de costa a costa, el viaje acaba convertido en camino perpetuo sin apenas sentido, en el que se dan cita la amistad y la muerte, el amor y el desamparo, la soledad, el alcohol y el sexo. Todo se mezcla en una narración de ritmo alterado y trepidante, conmovedora y a la vez profundamente dolorosa. El estado febril en que parece que fue creada, así como un estilo endiabladamente improvisado y esa voz narrativa que todo lo invade, son las claves de esta novela iniciática que no solo retrata a un grupo de poetas y amigos sino a toda una generación. Algunos libros te arrastran hacia lugares que intuyes pero a los que jamás podrías llegar sin su compañía y su fuerza. En el camino pertenece a esa estirpe y nos convoca a todos nosotros desde las primeras páginas. KEROUAC JACK Bornin Lowell, Massachusetts, The United StatesMarch 12, 1922 DiedOctober 21, 1969 InfluencesNeal Cassady, Thomas Wolfe, Louis-Ferdinand Céline, Jean Genet, Henry ...more edit data Jean-Louis Lebris de Kérouac, known as Jack Kerouac, was an American novelist and poet who, alongside William S. Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg, was a pioneer of the Beat Generation. Of French-Canadian ancestry, Kerouac was raised in a French-speaking home in Lowell, Massachusetts. He "learned English at age six and spoke with a marked accent into his late teens." During World War II, he served in the United States Merchant Marine; he completed his first novel at the time, which was published more than 40 years after his death. His first published book was The Town and the City 1950 , and he achieved widespread fame and notoriety with his second, On the Road, in 1957. It made him a beat icon, and he went on to publish 12 more novels and numerous poetry volumes. Kerouac is recognized for his style of stream of consciousness spontaneous prose. Thematically, his work covers topics such as his Catholic spirituality, jazz, travel, promiscuity, life in New York City, Buddhism, drugs, and poverty. He became an underground celebrity and, with other Beats, a progenitor of the hippie movement, although he remained antagonistic toward some of its politically radical elements. He has a lasting legacy, greatly influencing many of the cultural icons of the 1960s, including Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Jerry Garcia and The Doors. In 1969, at the age of 47, Kerouac died from an abdominal hemorrhage caused by a lifetime of heavy drinking. Since then, his literary prestige has grown, and several previously unseen works have been published.
