Portrait of Jack Kerouac

Jack Kerouac, a central figure of the Beat Generation, captured the restless pulse of post-war America with his spontaneous prose and freewheeling spirit. His writing, often drawn from personal journeys across the United States, radiates a raw immediacy that continues to inspire readers seeking authenticity and adventure.

Renowned for his groundbreaking novel On the Road, Kerouac's work explores themes of freedom, identity, and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing world. His influence extends far beyond literature, shaping music, art, and countercultural movements with a voice that remains as urgent and alive today as when first written.

    Book SynopsisAbove all, a haiku must be very simple and free of all poetic trickery and make a little picture and yet be as airy and graceful as a Vivaldi pastorella.' Jack Kerouac. Renowned for his groundbreaking Beat Generation novel "On the Road", Jack Kerouac was also a master of the haiku, the three-line, seventeen-syllable Japanese poetic form. Following in the tradition of Basho, Buson, Shiki, Issa, and other poets, Kerouac experimented with this centuries-old genre, taking it beyond strict syllable counts into what he believed was the form's essence. He incorporated his 'American' haiku in novels and in his correspondence, notebooks, journals, sketchbooks, and recordings.In this edition, Kerouac scholar Regina Weinreich has supplemented a core haiku manuscript from Kerouac's archives with a generous selection of the rest of his haiku, from both published and unpublished sources. The result is a compact collection of more than five hundred poems that reveal a lesser known but important side of Jack Kerouac's literary legacy.

    Book SynopsisJACK KEROUAC (1922-1969), con sus novelas En la carretera, Los subterráneos, Los vagabundos del Dharma y más de otra docena de libros, creó, a partir de los materiales en bruto de su inquieta vida, un nuevo anti-héroe norteamericano, un vagabundo, un borracho, un drogado, un iluminado, un pionero romántico, que se convertiría en símbolo de la Generación Beat. Aunque sus poemas no tuviera la difusión de sus libros en prosa y siempre fueron publicados en revistas de poca circulación, contienen muchas de las claves de su obra y expresan de un modo conciso, nervioso e inmediato la aventura literaria y vital de su autor. Una aventura que compartiría íntimamente con sus amigos, y hoy ya escritores clásicos norteamericanos, Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs, Gregory Corso y Lawrence Ferlinghuetti, muchas de cuyas obras ya han sido publicadas en esta misma colección.
