«A la carretera» is the novel by Jack Kerouac, published by Edicions 62 in paperback (352 pages, in Catalan).
The novel narrates the travels of Sal Paradise and Dean Moriarty across the United States in the 1950s, in search of freedom, adventure and self-knowledge. Kerouac was inspired by his travels with Neal Cassady, and the work, emblematic of the Beat Generation, combines a love of American landscapes with a rhythm close to jazz.
Originally published in English in 1957 as «On the Road», this 1998 Catalan edition, translated by De Seabra E M Ferreira Bertolo, belongs to the Butxaca collection.
For readers interested in twentieth-century American literature, the Beat Generation and travel narratives.
Jean-Louis Lebris de Kérouac, known as Jack Kerouac, was an American novelist and poet who, alongside William S. Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg, was a pioneer of the Beat Generation.
