Jack Kerouac
Jack Kerouac was born in Lowell, Massachusetts, in 1922. Educated by Jesuit brothers in Lowell, he decided to become a writer at age seventeen and developed his own writing style, which he called 'spontaneous prose'. He used this technique to record the life of the American 'traveler' and the experiences of the Beat Generation, most memorably in On the Road and also in The Subterraneans and The Dharma Bums. His other works include Big Sur, Desolation Angels, Lonesome Traveler, Visions of Gerard, Tristessa, and a book of poetry called Mexico City Blues. Jack Kerouac died in 1969.

Lonesome Traveler
A timeless travelogue from the leading light of the Beat Generation, Jack Kerouac's Lonesome Traveller is a jubilant celebration of human discoveryAs 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.'Full of startling and beautiful things ... one sees, hears and feels' Sunday Times

Big Sur
A poignant masterpiece of wrenching personal expression from the author of On the Road and The Dharma BumsIn this 1962 novel, Kerouac's alter ego Jack Duluoz, overwhelmed by success and excess, gravitates back and forth between wild binges in San Francisco and an isolated cabin on the California coast where he attempts to renew his spirit and clear his head of madness and alcohol. Only nature seems to restore him to a sense of balance. In the words of Allen Ginsberg, Big Sur "reveals consciousness in all its syntactic elaboration, detailing the luminous emptiness of his own paranoiac confusion."

Big Sur
Driven mad by three years of endless telegrams, phonecalls, mail, reporters and snoopers in the wake of his hugely successful novel On the Road, Jack Kerouac, 'King of the Beats', needs peace, quiet and sobriety: surrounded and outnumbered he has to 'get away to solitude again or die'. Amidst the wild beauty of the Californian landscape, Kerouac struggles to come to terms with his own myth and its malign impact upon his life. The result is a moving account of a man struggling with inner demons: blessed by great talent and cursed with an urge towards self-destruction - a path lined with double bourbons, Manhattans and scotch ...

Tristessa
Yil 1955, Meksika. Tavuklarin, horozlarin belanin kol gezdigi tekinsiz bir muhit. Barakadan hallice evler, tarifsiz eglenceler ve yerlere serilerek noktalanan geceler. Yasamin rutin perdesini delip de gecmek icin basvurulan maddelerin etkisininde akip giden serüvenler. Kerouac, Türkcede ilk defa yayimlanan ve en duygusal metinlerinden biri olan Tristessada askin pesinden gidiyor ama burada olan her sey, icinde ziddini barindiriyor ve mana arayisi maddeye, askin yolu ölüme, ölümün yolu yaratiya cikiyor. Kerouac, genc ve marazli bir kadina, Tristessaya tutuluyor. Kelimeler askla, hazla, ilhamla cagliyor, ama kimse kimseye dokunmuyor; sevgi, bastirildikca cogaliyor. Kerouac, askin isiginda kendini ariyor ve zihni, yüreginin atisiyla cavlan misali sahlaniyor. Bir tutkunun ilani, bir ask sarkisi Yasama ve ölüme, Meksikanin efsunlu göklerine, kücük sevincleri ve büyük dertleriyle su koca gezegeni arsinlayan yolcularin her birine, bize. (lib)

Maggie Cassidy
2019 Reprint of 1959 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. "Set in the close-knit working-class French-Canadian community of Lowell, Massachusetts, Maggie Cassidy is a semi-autobiographical account of Kerouac's adolescence. The story is recounted through the teenage mind of the author's alter ego, Jack Duluoz, a high school athletics and American football star. Maggie Cassidy is a meditation on being in love and youthful innocence. A memoir of the fantasy-filled memories of adolescent years spent male bonding with his 'corner boys', recollecting on his mother's expectations and time spent with his father, it is above all an account of his first love, high-school sweetheart, Maggie Cassidy. The romantic relationship is adeptly portrayed as a pure, passionate, exuberant love, narrated with deep and profound insights. Towards the end of the book Jack moves to a school in New York on a sports scholarship, leaving Maggie behind in Lowell. The culmination of the story comes three years later when Jack, now a man, visits her there. With the passage of time and the resulting altered motives and desires, the innocence has been lost and the resulting liaison is unfulfilled. Perhaps the ending is illustrative of the nature of Kerouac's own adulthood relationships." Guy Portman's Blog.Though one of the author's less well known books, Maggie Cassidy is a captivating work that utilizes long sentences and a fluid narrative style - the hallmark of the experimental, spontaneous writing form, pioneered by Kerouac, the reluctant leader of The Beat Generation.
