Lonesome Traveler Av Jack Kerouac

<p><b>A timeless travelogue from the leading light of the Beat Generation, Jack Kerouac''s <i>Lonesome Traveller </i>is a jubilant celebration of human discovery</b><br><br>As 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 Sacr¿oeur - Kerouac reveals both the endless diversity of human life and his own high-spirited philosophy of self-fulfilment.<br><br>''Full of startling and beautiful things ... one sees, hears and feels'' <i>Sunday Times</i></p>
