Sinopsis	MAGGIE CASSIDY Maggie Cassidy escrita en 1953 y publicada en 1959 es el tercer volumen del magno ciclo La leyenda de Duluoz. En ella, el joven Jack Duluoz, de dieciséis años, conoce a una chica en el baile de Nochevieja de 1939, coquetean, vuelven a verse, se dan celos, son víctimas de murmuraciones, se pelean, se reconcilian y se enfrentan a las primeras decisiones de la vida adulta. Es la historia del primer amor del protagonista, un amor adolescente que engloba otros despertares: al mundo exterior, la sexualidad, la espiritualidad, los estudios, el trabajo, la vocación. No es una historia sublime, ni trágica, ni arquetípica: es una historia que consigue captar la realidad de la vida corriente y reflejar la experiencia universal del primer amor a través de una personalísima maestría narrativa, servida en una prosa única, fascinante, absorbente; repleta de lirismo y energía, de ternura y afecto. JACK KEROUAC 1922-1969 es el novelista más destacado y emblemático de la generación beat. En Anagrama se han publicado cuatro de sus obras fundamentales: En el camino, Los subterráneos, Los Vagabundos del Dharma y La vanidad de los Duluoz. Y por último, En la carretera. El rollo mecanografiado original. 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.
