Sinopsis	EN EL CAMINO En el camino, un libro que fue la biblia y el manifiesto de la Generación Beat, se ha convertido en una novela de culto y en un clásico de la literatura norteamericana. Con un inconfundible estilo bop, que consiguió para Kerouac el título de heredero de Charlie Parker, en esta novela se narran los viajes enloquecidos, a bordo de Cadillacs prestados y Dodges desvencijados, de Dean Moriarty el mítico hipster, el héroe de todos los beatniks: «un demente, un ángel, un pordiosero» y el narrador Sal Paradise, que recorren el continente, de Nueva York a Nueva Orleans, Ciudad de México, San Francisco, Chicago, y de ahí a Nueva York de nuevo. Alcohol, orgías, marihuana, éxtasis, angustia y desolación: el retrato de una América subterránea, auténtica y desinhibida, ajena a todo establishment. Una crónica cuyos protagonistas, en la vida real y en el libro, fueron Jack Kerouac Sal Paradise , Neal Cassady Dean Moriarty , Allen Ginsberg y William Burroughs. «Un libro que da sentido a buena parte del movimiento beat estadounidense de los años 60. A la vez una novela de aprendizaje y una novela de viajes. El crecimiento personal y autobiográfico de un autor en su apogeo» Jaime de las Heras, Book Review . Edad recomendada: Adultos.

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.
