About the product Jack Kerouac (Jean-Louis Lebri de Kerouac, 1922-1969) is a writer-era, a writer-paradox, who sowed the wind and did not have time to really know that he reaped the storm that has not abated in our times. Coming from an impoverished family of French aristocrats, he became the voice of protesting American youth and introduced Buddhism to young American intellectuals. Critics arrogantly ignored it, nonconformist readers carried it in their arms. From New York to San Francisco. From San Francisco to Los Angeles. From Los Angeles to New Orleans. From New Orleans? .. Forgotten wives and girlfriends, home comfort and attempts to find success and a place in the official literary nomenclature. America lies down thousands of roads under the wheels of an old car. With new and new faces, fates and stories, she appears before two bosom friends — a young writer and a fiery «rebel for no reason.» Such is the novel «On the Road», first published in 1957. It was shattered by criticism, but despite this, it became first a national and then an international bestseller. It is rightly ranked among the most iconic books in the history of world literature, included in the lists of the best works of the twentieth century according to the versions of «Time», «Le Monde», «BBC» and «Observer» and is still sold in huge quantities. But most importantly, this book has been inspiring more and more generations of young men and women who refuse to live according to the laws of boring and limited bourgeois morality for the past seventh decade.
