On the Road (Penguin Orange Collection) by Kerouac, Jack

Format: Trade Paperback

Published by Penguin Books, 1976

The classic novel of freedom and the search for authenticity that defined a generation.

Inspired by Jack Kerouac's adventures with Neal Cassady, On the Road tells the story of two friends whose cross-country road trips are a quest for meaning and true experience. Written with a mixture of sad-eyed naiveté and wild ambition 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.
