Ciervo Blanco Book Club organizes in Madrid a book discussion in English about the novel ‘On The Road’ by Jack Kerouac
This is a free book discussion in English. The only requirement is to have read the book!
On the Road chronicles Jack Kerouac’s years traveling the North American continent with his friend Neal Cassady, «a sideburned hero of the snowy West.» As «Sal Paradise» and «Dean Moriarty,» the two roam the country in a quest for self-knowledge and experience. Kerouac’s love of America, his compassion for humanity, and his sense of language as jazz combine to make On the Road an inspirational work of lasting importance. Kerouac’s classic novel of freedom and longing defined what it meant to be “Beat” and has inspired every generation since its initial publication more than fifty years ago.
Jack Kerouac (1922-1969) was an American novelist, poet, and painter most closely associated with the Beat Movement of the 1950s. His most famous works include On the Road, The Dharma Bums, and Big Sur, several of which have been adapted into films. In 1959 Kerouac released his collection of poems Mexico City Blues. Few authors can claim as large an influence on American culture as Jack Kerouac and his examinations of youth and rebellion.
