À propos de ce contenu audio
Few novels have had as profound an impact on American culture as On the Road. Pulsating with the rhythms of 1950s underground America, jazz, sex, illicit drugs, and the mystery and promise of the open road, Kerouac’s classic novel of freedom and longing defined what it meant to be “beat” and has inspired generations of writers, musicians, artists, poets, and seekers who cite their discovery of the book as the event that “set them free.” Based on Kerouac’s adventures with Neal Cassady, On the Road tells the story of two friends whose four cross-country road trips are a quest for meaning and true experience. Written with a mixture of sad-eyed naïveté and wild abandon, and imbued with Kerouac’s love of America, his compassion for humanity, and his sense of language as jazz, On the Road is the quintessential American vision of freedom and hope, a book that changed American literature and changed anyone who has ever picked it up. This hardcover edition commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of the first publication of the novel in 1957 and will be a must-have for any literature lover.

Not high enough to appreciate the quality of book

Written in the first person and allegedly based on the author’s personal experiences in the late 1940’s and early 1950’s, it includes no plot and features amoral, self-centred, rudderless characters who can’t stay still. They live in the present without considering the impact of their actions on themselves or others and appear to be incapable of any commitment, neither personal nor professional.
In the case of the narrator, this antisocial behaviour may be seen by some as a reaction to a stint in the Armed Forces during World War II since he mentions a few times receiving « GI checks » and having been a sailor. For his part, his best friend and travelling companion comes from a family marked by early deaths and criminality.
The book’s emptiness is compensated at times by an extraordinarily original writing style, marked by interjections and a rhythm that evokes jazz music. This is very well rendered by the speaker in the audio version. It must be underscored however that he surprisingly seems to run out of steam in the latter fifth of the book and to become a bit entangled between the various characters’ accents and tonalities.
Sad and Depressing!
