A remarkable ear for the cadences of a phrase or sentence, a sense of how to register in words the sheer, sweet flow of things Guardian This semi-autobiographical tale of Kerouac s own trip to France, to trace his ancestors and explore his own understanding of the Buddhism that came to define his beliefs, contains some of Kerouac s most lyrical descriptions. From his reports of the strangers he meets and the all-night conversations he enjoys in seedy bars in Paris and Brittany, to the moment in a cab he experiences Buddhism s satori - a feeling of sudden awakening - Kerouac s affecting and revolutionary writing transports the reader.Published at the height of his fame, Satori in Paris is a hectic tale of philosophy, identity and the powerful strangeness of travel.

In alternating chapters that reveal a nascent period in their development as two of the twentieth century s most influential writers, Beat Generation icons William S. Burroughs and Jack Kerouac s And the Hippos Were Boiled in Their Tanks is an electrifying true-life mystery, including afterword by James Grauerholtz in Penguin Modern Classics.This is a hardboiled crime novel, and a true story. In 1944, Jack Kerouac and William Burroughs, then still unknown writers, were both arrested following a murder: one of their friends had stabbed another and then come to them for advice - neither had told the police. Later they wrote this fictionalised account of that summer - of a group of friends in wartime New York, moving through each other s apartments, drinking, necking, talking and taking drugs and haphazardly drifting towards a bloody crime. Unpublished for years, And the Hippos were Boiled in their Tanks is a remarkable insight into the lives and literary development of two great writers. If you enjoyed And the Hippos were Boiled in their Tanks, you might like Kerouac s On the Road, also available in Penguin Modern Classics. The novel that kicked it all off Independent An insight into Kerouac before he went on the road and Burroughs before his drug use spiralled out of control, this is a major literary event GQ

A witty, moving philosophical novel, Jack Kerouac s The Dharma Bums is a journey of self-discovery through the lens of Zen Buddhist thought. This Penguin Modern Classics edition includes an introduction by Ann Douglas.Following the explosive energy of On the Road, the book that put the Beat Genration on the literary map - and Jack Kerouac on the bestseller list - comes The Dharma Bums, in which Kerouac charts the spiritual quest of a group of friends in search of Dharma, or Truth. Ray Smith and his friend Japhy, along with Morley the yodeller, head off into the high Sierras to seek the lesson of solitude and experience the Zen way of life. But in wildly Bohemian San Francisco, with its poetry jam sessions, marathon drinking bouts and experiments in yabyum , they find the ascetic route distinctly hard to follow.Jack Kerouac (1922-69) was an American novelist, poet, artist and part of the Beat Generation. His first published novel, The Town and the City, appeared in 1950, but it was On the Road, published in 1957, that made Kerouac famous.

Five decades after it was first published, Jack Kerouac s seminal Beat novel On the Road finally finds its way to the big screen, in a production from award-winning director Walter Salles (Motorcycle Diaries) starring Sam Riley (Control, Brighton Rock), Garret Hedlund (Friday Night Lights), Kristen Stewart (Twilight), Kirsten Dunst, Amy Adams and Viggo Mortensen.This edition is transcribed from the original manuscript: hundreds of typed pages taped together by Kerouac to form a scroll , published word for word as it was originally composed.Sal Paradise (Sam Riley), a young innocent, joins his hero Dean Moriarty (Garrett Hedlund), a traveller and mystic, the living epitome of Beat, on a breathless, exuberant ride back and forth across the United States. Their hedonistic search for release or fulfilment through drink, sex, drugs and jazz becomes an exploration of personal freedom, a test of the limits of the American dream. A brilliant blend of fiction and autobiography, Jack Kerouac s exhilarating novel swings to the rhythms of 1950s underground America, racing towards the sunset with unforgettable exuberance, poignancy and autobiographical passion. One of the most influential and important novels of the 20th century, On the Road is the book that launched the Beat Generation and remains the bible of that literary movement.

Jack Kerouac o svém díle často hovořil jako o souvislém celku tvořícím tzv. Duluozovu legendu a právě Jack Duluoz, autorovo alter ego, stojí v tomto případě přímo v názvu knihy, takže není pochyb o tom, co, nebo lépe řečeno kdo, bude hlavním tématem. Jack Duluoz své ženě, a tím pádem i čtenáři, vypráví, čím vším si musel projít v letech 1935-46. A že toho nebylo málo: před našima očima se odvíjí dobrodružný přerod ambiciózního maloměstského fotbalisty v intelektuála omámeného New Yorkem, stojíme po jeho boku na moři za druhé světové války i ve vězení při vyšetřování vraždy. To všechno má však jediné směřování - Kerouac, totiž Duluoz, je na nejlepší cestě k tomu, aby se stal kultovním autorem Beat Generation. Citlivější čtenáři možná uslyší jeho hlas, tak naléhavé je jeho překotné vyprávění, tak živý jeho jazyk. Možná se Duluoz občas chvástá, možná občas fňuká, ale nikdy, nikdy není nudný.

Autobiografický román Big Sur z roku 1962 patří k tomu nejlepšímu, co Jack Kerouac napsal. Existenciální a tvůrčí krize, kterou prochází jeho románové alter ego Jack Duluoz, se promítá do rytmu prózy, jejíž účinky jsou místy až hypnotické. Jack, vyčerpaný věčným flámováním a dotěrnou pozorností fanoušků i novinářů, prchá přes celé Státy až k pobřeží Tichého oceánu, do chaty skryté na dně Ratonského kaňonu u Big Sur. Sám uprostřed divoké přírody chce najít ztracenou rovnováhu a soustředění na práci. Bukolické rozjímání však brzy vystřídá transcendentní děs... Big Sur je kniha o krajnosti, o zběsilé touze po životě, o děsuplné kráse světa, ale i o bolestném střetu s prázdnotou a příliš blízké hranici, za níž číhá zoufalství a šílenství. V tomto ohledu Kerouac bravurně a osobitě navazuje na ta největší témata básnického romantismu. A v závěrečné poemě Moře lze zaslechnout ozvuky tradice, k níž se hlásí Eliotova Pustá země .

A brand new volume of previously unpublished writings from the archives reflecting Jack Kerouac’s Buddhist thinkingFrom a young age Kerouac was a spiritual thinker and questioner, and he always considered himself a spiritual writer. Buddhism gave more meaning to Jack’s work as a writer: he was working not for personal accomplishment and glory but for human betterment. And Buddhism justified his lifestyle: with its vision of the material world as empty and illusory, he was free to do what he wanted.This collection shows Jack at his earnest, soulful best. The writing is consistently and wonderfully Kerouacian: it is honest, reflective, heartfelt, and revealing, with great characterizations amid his self-exploration as he wrestles with his consciousness, desperate for belief.

Román Na ceste spôsobil v Amerike konca päťdesiatych rokov kultúrny výbuch a Jack Kerouac sa stal ikonou novej, spontánnej a odtabuizovanej literatúry. Legendárna biblia bítnickej generácie je dnes jednou z najlepších kníh minulého storočia. Je generačnou výpoveďou a reakciou na spoločenský paradox svojej doby: Amerika bola síce na vrchole hospodárskej stability, no jej choroby boli čoraz vidite?nejšie. Kniha vychádza pri príležitosti 100. výročia narodenia Jacka Kerouaca. Jack Kerouac (1922 - 1969) je jedným z najvýznamnejších predstavite?ov beat generation a autorom troch zbierok poézie a vyše pätnástich, často autobiografických, románov. V sedemnástich si zbalil kufre a presťahoval sa do New Yorku. Ohromujúce ve?komesto bolo explóziou nepoznaného. Kerouacovi do života vniesol celoživotnú lásku k jazzu a rozhodnutie venovať sa písaniu, no aj experimentovanie s drogami. Oddal sa tam priate?stvu s Allanom Ginsbergom a Williamom Burroughsom a vzniklo nové literárne hnutie: beat generation. V Kerouacovom diele nájdeme silné ovplyvnenie katolíckou vierou, budhistickými meditáciami i jazzovými improvizáciami. Napriek jeho túžbe po otvorenosti a necenzurovanej spontánnosti zažíval obdobia ťažkých depresií a osamelosti. Na následky alkoholom podlomeného zdravia zomrel vo veku štyridsaťsedem rokov.

In 1960 Jack Kerouac was near breaking point. Driven mad by constant press attention in the wake of the publication of On the Road, he needed to get away to solitude again or die , so he withdrew to a cabin in Big Sur on the Californian coast. The resulting novel, in which his autobiographical hero Jack Duluoz wrestles with doubt, alcohol dependency and his urge towards self-destruction, is one of Kerouac s most personal and searingly honest works. Ending with the poem Sea: Sounds of the Pacific Ocean at Big Sur , it shows a man coming down from his hedonistic youth and trying to come to terms with fame, the world and himself.

Jack Kerouac called Doctor Sax, the enigmatic figure who haunted his boyhood imagination, my ghost, personal angel, private shadow, secret lover . In this extraordinary autobiographical account of growing up in Lowell, Massachussetts, told through his fictional alter ego Jack Duluoz, he mingles real people and events with fantastical figures to capture the accents, scents, sights and texture of his childhood: playing among the river weeds and railroad tracks, going to church, witnessing life and death on the street corners. Written when he was staying with William Burroughs in Mexico in 1952, Doctor Sax was Kerouac s favourite of all his books: a dark, vivid and magical evocation of a boy s vibrant inner life.

Útlou prózu Podzemníci prý Jack Kerouac napsal v benzedrinovém rauši za tři dny a noci. Ať už je to pravda, nebo ne, je nepochybné, že kniha dokonale naplňuje autorovu představu spontánního psaní , stylu, který Kerouac dle vlastních slov sám objevil pro narativní umění; autor v něm klopýtá přes sebe sama, aby odvyprávěl svůj příběh, úplně bez dechu, jako když hospodský vypravěč vrazí do nacpaného lokálu a převypráví, co se zrovna stalo, a jakmile vyprávění dokončí, už nemá právo se k němu vrátit a smazat, co jeho ruka napsala. Stejně nepochybné je i to, že tato prostá, smutná, k nezdaru odsouzená love story vypravěče a černé krásky Mardou zasazená do San Franciska na počátku padesátých let 20. století patří k vrcholům autorova díla - mnozí literární kritici a historici ji dokonce označují za vůbec nejlepší Kerouacův text.

Ačkoli se Jack Kerouac proslavil především jako prozaik, psal také vynikající poezii – mnozí literární historici jsou dokonce toho názoru, že Kerouacovy básně jeho prózu co do kvality předčí. Tak či onak, je nepochybné, že jedním z vrcholů autorova básnického díla jsou jeho haiku. Kerouacův zájem o tuto japonskou básnickou formu byl hluboký a dlouhodobý; od poloviny padesátých let až do své smrti v roce 1969 si úderná trojverší zapisoval do deníků, prokládal jimi své dopisy, romány či eseje atd. Postupně přitom dospěl k vlastní podobě, tzv. „západnímu haiku“, které se nenechává omezovat přísnými formálními pravidly, ušitými na míru japonštině, přesto si z dané formy uchovává to podstatné: schopnost zachytit ve třech krátkých verších jedinečný obraz světa, „zbavený vší poetické veteše a fíglů, a přesto vzdušný a ladný jako Vivaldiho pastorála“. Kerouacova Kniha haiku, poprvé vydaná teprve po autorově smrti, přesvědčivě dokládá, že ve svém úsilí o zvládnutí zdánlivě snadné, ve skutečnosti však nesmírně obtížné formy Kerouac uspěl beze zbytku.

První a nejdojemnější kapitola fiktivního Kerouacova životopisu, Duluozovy legendy , kterou psal v podstatě celý život, protože látkou i palivem jeho psaní vždy byly vlastní, intenzivně prožívané zkušenosti. Vize Gerarda jsou tím, co si Jack Kerouac - či jeho prozaické alter ego Duluoz - pamatuje o svém bratrovi Gerardovi; je to sled výjevů, vizí či vidění, detailů přetvořených v básnickou pravdu, střípků viděných očima dítěte, matných vzpomínek na milovanou, důvěrně blízkou, andělskou bytost, kterou odvedla z jeho života smrtelná choroba, když bylo Gerardovi devět let a Jackovi pouhé čtyři roky. Knihu napsal Kerouac během dvou týdnů v roce 1956, ve stejném roce, kdy rozepsal Anděly zoufalství a dokončil Tristessu, a jako by v ní utíkal ke vzpomínkám na dětskou čistotu a nevinnost, na šťastná léta prožitá po boku milujícího a milovaného bratra, kterého vidí jako svého prvního učitele.

Je silvestr roku 1938, v Lowellu v Massachusetts chumelí a parta šestnáctiletých kluků vesele a trochu nejistě kráčí na taneční zábavu. Pro jednoho z nich bude tenhle večer osudový: Jack Duluoz, autorovo alter ego, totiž v tančírně potká sedmnáctiletou Maggie Cassidyovou. Touhle scénou začíná útlý román, který Jack Kerouac napsal v roce 1953 a líčí v něm historii první lásky na maloměstě a hrdinův první šok a okouzlení z oslnivého New Yorku. Prostý příběh prvního vzplanutí je psán typickým Kerouakovým překotným stylem s chaotickou interpunkcí a jazzovou větnou stavbou, balancujícím na pomezí prózy a poezie. Autobiografický text o nesmělém, nezkušeném vzájemném poznávání a různících se snech dvou mladičkých lidí vznikl už v roce 1953, ale nakladatele našel teprve o šest let později, když už se jeho autor vezl na vlně slávy po vydání svého nejslavnějšího opusu Na cestě.

Jako většina děl Jacka Kerouaca je i útlá próza Tristessa založena na autorových zážitcích a spoluutváří onu velkou knihu autorova života , vedle tak slavných románů jako Na cestě, Dharmoví tuláci, Andělé zoufalství či Vize Codyho. Předobrazem hlavní hrdinky knihy, indiánské dívky Tristessy, byla prostitutka a narkomanka Esperanza, s níž se Kerouac seznámil v půli padesátých let 20. století při jednom ze svých pobytů v Mexico City a s níž navázal bolestný, k neúspěchu odsouzený vztah. Kerouac líčí klíčové okamžiky jejich setkávání a míjení v intenzivních obrazech na pomezí snu a skutečnosti; k přízračné atmosféře přispívá i to, že se události zaznamenané v knize se povětšinou odehrávají v noci. S tím kontrastuje fakt, že důležitou roli v textu hraje Kerouacovo studium buddhismu a usilování o osvícení - probuzení… Ale zatímco první část knihy připomíná sen, ze kterého je možné se probudit, ve druhé části se snová atmosféra prohloubí až k noční můře spolu s tím, jak s vypravěčem sledujeme úpadek jeho hrdinky i nevyhnutelný konec jejich vztahu.

Kniha snů zaujímá v celku Kerouacova díla zvláštní postavení: setkáváme se v ní sice s autorem samotným i s postavami, které známe z jeho ostatních próz, vše je však nahlíženo prismatem snu; tento experimentální román totiž sestává ze zápisů snů, jež Kerouac pořídil v letech 1952-1960. Kerouacovo spontánní psaní je tu snad ještě spontánnější než obvykle, jelikož se osvobozuje od každodenní reality a nechává se omezovat pouze autorovým nevědomím, respektive tím, co je z něj autor schopen a ochoten zveřejnit. Onen surový básnický materiál ovšem zpracovává suverénní stylista, a výsledný text tak nabývá prazvláštní, univerzální působivosti. Řečeno se samotným Kerouacem: Každonoční snění všech lidí na světě spojuje lidstvo (…) a je také důkazem, že svět je skutečně transcendentální.

Outsider Classics is Dead Ink s resurrection ground for the strange, the silenced, and the outcast. This series exhumes lost literary voices that were ahead of their time to restore them to the cult status they always deserved. From forgotten masterpieces to once-censored provocations, each title is a reaction against the canon curated for readers who want to stray into the margins and away from the mainstream. Was it January or February? The coconut fronds waving, shining like green hair in the sun, gave no clue. Fifteen-year-old Jan is pregnant, gamely living off rice and whatever fish her boyfriend John can catch in Yelapa, Mexico. She and John, who introduced her to Beckett, Kafka, Joyce, and Dostoevsky, are writing a novel together. Before she can leave for Guadalajara where she plans to deliver her baby, she goes into labor three months early, and the baby is stillborn. She turns sixteen soon after and decides to head north. Jan Kerouac, the only child of Jack Kerouac and Joan Haverty Kerouac, published her autobiographical novel Baby Driver in 1981. Unacknowledged by her father, she is haunted by the absence of his love. With a graceful, sometimes disturbing detachment and intense lyricism, she explores the freewheeling soul of a woman on her own road. From an adolescence on the Lower East Side of Manhattan dropping LSD and doing time in detention homes, to the peace movement in Haight-Ashbury and Washington state, to traveling by bus through Central America with a madman for a lover, Jan lives by her wits and whims, rhapsodic and irrepressible.

Exploring occultist, magician, poet, painter, and writer Aleister Crowley’s longstanding and intimate association with Paris, Tobias Churton provides the first detailed account of Crowley’s activities in the City of Light. Using previously unpublished letters and diaries, Churton explores how Crowley was initiated into the Golden Dawn’s Inner Order in Paris in 1900 and how, in 1902, he relocated to Montparnasse. Soon engaged to Anglo-Irish artist Eileen Gray, Crowley pontificates and parties with English, American, and French artists gathered around sculptor Auguste Rodin: all keen to exhibit at Paris’s famed Salon d’Automne. In 1904--still dressed as “Prince Chioa Khan” and recently returned from his Book of the Law experience in Cairo--Crowley dines with novelist Arnold Bennett at Paillard’s. In 1908 Crowley is back in Paris to prove it’s possible to attain Samadhi (or “knowledge and conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel”) while living a modern life in a busy metropolis. In 1913 he organizes a demonstration for artistic and sexual freedom at Oscar Wilde’s tomb. Until war spoils all in 1914, Paris is Crowley’s playground. The author details how, after returning from America in 1920, and though based at his “Abbey of Thelema” in Sicily, Crowley can’t leave Paris alone. When Mussolini expels him from Italy, Paris becomes home from 1924 until 1929. Churton reveals Crowley’s part in the jazz-age explosion of modernism, as the lover of photographer Berenice Abbott, and many others, and how he enjoyed camaraderie with Man Ray, Nancy Cunard, André Gide, and Aimée Crocker. The author explores Crowley’s adventures in Tunisia, Algeria, the Riviera, his battle with heroin addiction, his relationship with daughter Astarte Lulu--raised at Cefalù--and finally, a high-level ministerial conspiracy to get him out of Paris. Reconstructing Crowley’s heyday in the last decade and a half of France’s Belle Époque and the “roaring Twenties,” this book illuminates Crowley’s place within the artistic, literary, and spiritual ferment of the great City of Light.

THE TIMES AND WATERSTONES BEST ART BOOK OF 2023 Intimate and insightful . . . reads like a novel by Samuel Beckett⠙ Paul Theroux A portrait of one of the twentieth century⠙s greatest sculptors from one of our most eminent art historiansToday the work of Alberto Giacometti is world-famous and his sculptures sell for record-breaking prices. But from his early days as an unknown outsider to the end of a dramatic international career, Giacometti lived in the same hovel of a studio in Paris. It was Paris that made him, and he in turn immortalised the city through his art.Arriving in Paris from the Swiss Alps in 1922, Giacometti was shaped not only by his relationships with remarkable artists and writers ⠓ from Picasso, Breton and Dalí to Sartre, Beauvoir and Beckett ⠓ but by the everyday life, pre-war and post-war, of Paris itself. His distinctive figures emerged from the city⠙s unique atmosphere: the crumbling grey stone of its humbler streets and the café-terraces buzzing with radical ideas and racy gossip.In Giacometti in Paris, Michael Peppiatt, who spent thirty years documenting the Parisian art world and mixing with many of the people Giacometti knew, brilliantly charts the course of the artist⠙s life and work. From falling in and out with the Surrealists to years of artistic anguish, from devotion to his mother to intense friendships, tragic love affairs and a fraught marriage, this is an intimate portrait of an outstanding artist in exceptional times.

Tristessa is a strange fever-dream of morphine sickness and belly-deep sadness. Or, in the words of Allen Ginsberg: ‘a narrative meditation studying a hen, a rooster, a dove, a cat, a chihuahua dog, family meat, and a ravishing, ravished junky lady, first in their crowded bedroom, then out to drunken streets, taco stands, and pads at dawn in Mexico City slums’.

Frederick Rowlands arrives in a city riven by the political turmoil following the Liberation at the behest of MI5 agent, Iris Barnes.

A fast-paced and vibrant wartime tale of holding on to love against the odds and learning to fight for the truth.  ­­–Kristin Harmel, New York Times bestselling author of The Paris DaughterA Parisian department store, a mysterious necklace and a womanÂ’s quest to unlock a decade-old mystery are at the center of this riveting novel of love and survival, from New York Times bestselling author Pam JenoffLondon, 1953. Louise is still adjusting to her postwar role as a housewife when she discovers a necklace in a box at a secondhand shop. The box is marked with the name of a department store in Paris, and she is certain she has seen the necklace before, when she worked with the Red Cross in Nazi-occupied Europe —and that it holds the key to the mysterious death of her friend Franny during the war.  Following the trail of clues to Paris, Louise seeks help from her former boss Ian, with whom she shares a romantic history.  The necklace leads them to discover the dark history of Lévitan—a once-glamorous department store that served as a Nazi prison, and Helaine, a woman who was imprisoned there, torn apart from her husband when the Germans invaded France. Louise races to find the connection between the necklace, the department store and FrannyÂ’s death. But nothing is as it seems, and there are forces determined to keep the truth buried forever. Inspired by the true story of Lévitan, Last Twilight in Paris is both a gripping mystery and an unforgettable story about sacrifice, resistance and the power of love to transcend in even the darkest hours.Â
