Beschreibung

<p>A timeless travelogue from the leading light of the Beat Generation, Jack Kerouac's <i>Lonesome Traveller </i>is a jubilant celebration of human discovery, published in Penguin Modern Classics.<br><br>As he roams the US, Mexico, Morocco, Paris and London, Kerouac records, in prose of pure poetry, life on the road. Standing on the engine of a train as it rushes past fields of prickly cactus; witnessing his first bullfight in Mexico while high on opium; catching up with the beat nightlife in New York; burying himself in the snow-capped mountains of north-west America; meditating on a sunlit roof in Tangiers; or falling in love with Montmartre and the huge white basilica of Sacré-Coeur - Kerouac reveals both the endless diversity of human life and his own high-spirited philosophy of self-fulfilment.<br><br>'Piquant writing, the best part of its flavour being ... the hunt for the big experience, a touch of Hemingway and Whitman'<br><i>Guardian</i><br><br>'Full of startling and beautiful things ... one sees, hears and feels'<br><i>Sunday Times</i></p>
