'His first novel is a revelation ... the writing is vivid, serious and extraordinary ... wonderful' The Times The Sea is My Brother is Jack Kerouac's very first novel, begun shortly after his tour as a merchant sailor in 1942. Lost during his lifetime, it is an intense portrait of friendship and brotherhood and a meditation on the desire to escape society, following the fortunes of two men as they impulsively decide to work their passage on the S.S. Westminster: drinking, arguing, playing cards, dodging torpedoes and contemplating the vast, terrible beauty of the sea. Published with fragments of early stories and letters, this visceral work gives a unique insight into the young Kerouac and the formation of his genius. 'What's clear from this newly published first novel is that Kerouac was positively fizzing with talent at an early age' Sunday Times

It changed the way I saw the world, making me yearn for fresh experience' Hanif Kureishi, Independent on SundayJack Kerouac was born in Lowell, Massachusetts, in 1922. Educated by Jesuit brothers in Lowell, he decided to become a writer at age seventeen and developed his own writing style, which he called 'spontaneous prose'. He used this technique to record the life of the American 'traveler' and the experiences of the Beat Generation, most memorably in On the Road and also in The Subterraneans and The Dharma Bums. His other works include Big Sur, Desolation Angels, Lonesome Traveler, Visions of Gerard, Tristessa, and a book of poetry called Mexico City Blues. Jack Kerouac died in 1969.

Jack Cornish interlaces titbits of travel, history, personal reflection and anecdote'' The Times''Cornish’s book delves back in history and is written with a sense of urgency. On each page you discover an enticing new vista'' Mail on Sunday--- Hundreds of thousands of miles of paths reach into – and connect – communities across England and Wales. More than just a practical way for us to walk, ride and cycle, they are an inheritance from our past, revealing how our ancestors interacted with and shaped their surroundings. From Iron Age footsteps to Anglo-Saxon mercenary trails, through Railway Age tracks and Home Army defences, our land reveals a hidden history of us. But thousands of miles are still missing from our maps, and they will be lost forever unless they are urgently reclaimed. Fighting for these paths’ survival through his work with the Ramblers Association, Jack Cornish has spent years walking and recording these forgotten routes – those that have been lost, those that have been saved and those which remain hidden in plain sight. The Lost Paths is a history of the people who have used, and in some cases created, these walkways:The drovers who herded their sheep and cattle to marketThe wanderers who travelled between workhouses, seeking shelter and subsistenceThe miners who ventured deep underground along the Cornish coastThe wartime heroes who built up Britain’s defensive infrastructure This incredible ‘ordinary’ history of the land beneath our feet reminds us just how precious these paths are, and have been, to the human story of this island. This is a celebration of an ancient network and a rallying cry to reclaim what has been lost and preserve it for future generations.---‘Marvellous. Cornish is the ideal companion on the road: interested in everything, learned, acute, and a splendid story-teller’ Charles Foster, author of Being a Beast''A rallying cry to reclaim lost routes and preserve this precious resource for future generations'' Walk Magazine

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.

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.

Scores sewn into coat linings, instruments hidden in suitcases, sheet music stashed among dirty laundry, concertos written on discarded food wrappers - these are just some of the ingenious ways prisoners in civilian, political and military captivity from 1933 to 1953 protected their music in the darkest of times.Italian pianist and composer Francesco Lotoro has been on a lifelong quest to find this remarkable music. He has painstakingly salvaged and performed symphonies, operas and songs written by the incarcerated musicians, many of whom died in the camps. He has travelled the globe to meet with families and survivors whose harrowing testimonies bear witness to the most devastating experiences in twentieth-century history.Movingly piecing together the human stories of those who wrote and performed whilst imprisoned, this compelling book takes readers on a journey into their extraordinary lives and music, shining a light on a unique beauty that somehow prevailed against all odds.

The Story of the Lost Child is the concluding volume in the dazzling saga of two women- the brilliant, bookish Elena, and the fiery, uncontainable Lila. Both are now adults, with husbands, lovers, aging parents, and children. Their friendship has been the gravitational center of their lives. Both women fought to escape the neighborhood in which they grew up-a prison of conformity, violence, and inviolable taboos. Elena married, moved to Florence, started a family, and published several well-received books. In this final novel she has returned to Naples, drawn back as if responding to the city's obscure magnetism. Lila, on the other hand, could never free herself from the city of her birth. She has become a successful entrepreneur, but her success draws her into closer proximity with the nepotism, chauvinism, and criminal violence that infect the neighborhood. Proximity to the world she has always rejected only brings her role as its unacknowledged leader into relief. For Lila is unstoppable, unmanageable, unforgettable.The four volumes in this series constitute a long remarkable story that readers will return to again and again, and each return will bring with it new revelations.

Nové vydání, vycházející k 50. výročí autorova úmrtí, přináší legendární překlad Jiřího Joska s neméně legendárním doslovem Martina Hilského. Jeden z nejslavnějších a nejčtenějších amerických románů 20. století. Kniha, která definovala jednu generaci, totiž tzv. "beat generation", a ovlivnila generace následující. Kniha, která změnila život nesčetnému množství čtenářů. Kniha extaticky odvázaná a prodchnutá dychtivostí po životě, ale zároveň plná niterného smutku a nevyléčitelné melancholie. To vše, a ještě mnohem víc je Kerouacův román Na cestě, spontánní, jazykově vynalézavý, jazzem načichlý, zběsile plynoucí záznam několikaletého putování vypravěče Sala Paradise (v němž poznáváme samotného autora) napříč Amerikou a Mexikem na přelomu čtyřicátých a padesátých let, většinou po boku charismatického Deana Moriartyho, jehož předlohou byl Neal Cassady, Kerouacův obdivovaný přítel a múza, neřízená střela řítící se životem zběsilou rychlostí. Román Na cestě mi změnil život, stejně jako všem ostatním… Ta kniha se žene vpřed jako nákladní vlak. Člověk se toho vlaku chytne, naskočí na něj, frčí na něm jako o život a drží se ze všech sil. - Bob Dylan Kerouacova kniha mi ukázala, že je možné dělat věci, které prý dělat nelze. Najednou jsem si uvědomil, že nejsem jediný, kdo si myslí, že je blázen, protože ho napadají divné věci. Konečně se objevil někdo, kdo říká pravdu. - David Bowie Na cestě je vrcholná americká romance… mystická a naléhavá připomínka ztraceného mládí a těch výsostných let, kdy si člověk připadá nesmrtelný. - Guardian

V polovině 50. let podnikl Kerouac s básníkem Garym Snyderem výstup na kalifornskou horu Matternorn. Krom setkání s přírodou, jež ho později inspirovalo k pobytu na hoře Desolation Peak, o kterém píše v Andělech zoufalství, se tato cesta stala i setkáním s buddhismem, jež mu Snyder zprostředkoval. Protikladem této "duchovní roviny" je líčení divokého městského života. V něm se objevuje další z Kerouacových přátel, Allen Ginsberg, a na veřejném vystoupení čte svoje Kvílení.

Prastará poučka, podle níž každý spisovatel píše celý život jedinou knihu, platí dvojnásob u Jacka Kerouaca. Snad nejlépe tuto "jednu Kerouacovu knihu" představují Vize Codyho; tvoří přitom pandán autorova nejslavnějšího románu Na cestě, jelikož zčásti pokrývají totéž časové období. Oním Codym je týž Neal Cassady, který Kerouacovi posloužil jako předobraz Deana Moriartyho v románu Na cestě, Kerouacův obdivovaný přítel, múza, "tajný hrdina" Ginsbergova Kvílení, neřízená střela řítící se životem "v myriádě ukradených nočních auťáků" za stále dalšími rozkošemi. Ve Vizích Codyho ovšem autor vypráví mnohé, na co si ve svém nejslavnějším románu netroufl; odhazuje v nich veškeré jazykové, stylistické i obsahové zábrany a nabízí čtenářům text, který lze postavit na roveň odvážným experimentům Jamese Joyce. Vize Codyho jsou zcela ojedinělou směsicí divokých historek ze života beat generation, autorova proudu vědomí, precizních i procítěných popisů, úvah, meandrujících asociací, přepisů magnetofonových nahrávek rozhovorů titulního hrdiny s autorem, dopisů, básní - a to vše na úctyhodných šesti stech stranách. Kniha vychází v kongeniálním českém překladu Josefa Rauvolfa, který v roce 2011 získal prestižní Cenu Josefa Jungmanna.

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.

Andělé zoufalství patří k vrcholům díla Jacka Kerouaca a zároveň k autorovým knihám nejtypičtějším. Kerouac tu navazuje na kultovní romány Na cestě a Dharmoví tuláci, vypráví o svých blízkých přátelích Allenu Ginsbergovi, Nealu Cassadym, Gregory Corsovi či Williamu Burroughsovi, o zrodu beat generation, o divokých večírcích a neméně divokých básnických čteních i o splynutí s přírodou uprostřed velehor, o putování Amerikou, Mexikem či Marokem, o sexu, drogách, jazzu - a především o nutkavé potřebě nalézt duchovní rozměr lidského bytí, ať už v zen-buddhismu či v katolickém mysticismu nebo v psaní samotném. To vše činí svým jedinečným stylem, pro nějž razil název "spontánní próza" a jejž tu dotáhl k dokonalosti, stylem, který připomíná nespoutaná jazzová sóla a místy dosahuje až magického účinku.

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".

Tento v češtině dosud nevydaný román je založen na autorových vzpomínkách na rodný Lowell. Zároveň se z kontextu jeho díla poněkud vymyká, protože Kerouac zde opouští svou oblíbenou a obvyklou kronikářskou polohu a vytváří tajemnou, fabulovanou prózu, v níž se vzpomínky prolínají se sny. Doktor Sax bývá označován za nejlepší Kerouacovu knihu.

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.
