Sinossi
Tra il 2 e il 22 aprile 1951 - scrive Kerouac a Neal Cassady - «ho scritto un romanzo su una striscia di carta lunga 120 piedi infilata nella macchina da scrivere e senza paragrafi, fatta srotolare sul pavimento e sembra proprio una strada». Con questo "rotolo" ha inizio la vicenda del romanzo che narra i viaggi di Kerouac tra Stati Uniti e Messico negli anni 1947-50 e che vedrà la luce, in una versione ampiamente rimaneggiata, solo nel 1957. Più lungo di quello definitivo, il testo originario di «On the road» contiene numerose scene poi tagliate e risulta più cupo, spigoloso e disinibito. Intima, sfrenata e "vera", la scrittura di Kerouac trascina il lettore alla bruciante scoperta di una strada che è la vita stessa.

Recensioni
I've been meaning to review this book for a while, but I get sort of emotional reading what other people think about Kerouac, and it has been hard to figure out what I want to say. I feel almost personally insulted by some of the more negative reviews which is totally weird and inappropriate of me.
I felt hungover by the time I was done reading this book. I couldn't wait for it to end and it's not because I wanted to find out what was going to happen. While there are a few great lines like, "My mother once said that the world would never find peace unless men fell at their women's feet and aske Leggi tutto
Finished in the original. Matching Soundtrack : Jubilee Stomb - Duke Ellington I find Jack Kerouac's spontaneous prose up to the task. On the other hand, the five "books" are really uneven, which can somewhat drag you down, however it bears credit to the extensive use of spontaneous prose throughout : Leggi tutto
Five stars is not enough for this book: it should be ten stars! This is a very beautiful book and rightfully an American classic. Stunning! " On The Road " is the real deal. I just started reading this and it's just a fantastic read. The energy just pops out of the page. The punk rock of novels. Mr. Ja Leggi tutto

¿Alguna vez has sentido esa necesidad absurda, casi animal, de salir corriendo sin rumbo fijo, solo porque sí? No por huir de algo, sino por la pura euforia de moverte, de existir a velocidad absurda, de devorar el mundo antes de que el mundo te devore a ti. Jack Kerouac la sintió, y la volcó en est Leggi tutto
The first time I read On the Road I was 23, which is probably the perfect age to read it. Now, 30 years later, I've just read On the Road: The Original Scroll, and I have to say, my impressions are different now that I'm older, although I still loved the book and was moved by it. I liked being able t Leggi tutto
