The legendary 1951 scroll draft of "On the Road," published word for word as Kerouac originally composed it Though Jack Kerouac began thinking about the novel that was to become "On the Road" as early as 1947, it was not until three weeks in April 1951, in an apartment on West Twentieth Street in Manhattan, that he wrote the first full draft that was satisfactory to him. Typed out as one long, single-spaced paragraph on eight long sheets of tracing paper that he later taped together to form a 120 foot scroll, this document is among the most significant, celebrated, and provocative artifacts in contemporary American literary history. It represents the first full expression of Kerouacas revolutionary aesthetic, "the" identifiable point at which his thematic vision and narrative voice came together in a sustained burst of creative energy. It was also part of a wider vital experimentation in the American literary, musical, and visual arts in the post-World War II period. It was not until more than six years later, and several new drafts, that Viking published, in 1957, the novel known to us today. On the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of "On the Road," Viking will publish the 1951 scroll in a standard book format. The differences between the two versions are principally ones of significant detail and altered emphasis. The scroll is slightly longer and has a heightened linguistic virtuosity and a more sexually frenetic tone. It also uses the real names of Kerouacas friends instead of the fictional names he later invented for them. The transcription of the scroll was done by Howard Cunnell who, along with Joshua Kupetz, George Mouratidis, and Penny Vlagopoulos, provides a critical introduction that explains the fascinating compositional and publication history of "On the Road" and anchors the text in its historical, political, and social context.

评分上周终于读了《在路上》。说是终于,因为这本书名气大,听过很多年,以至于总有奇怪的错觉——好像读过似的。 说说这本书的优点,为什么值得一读。首先,书名听起来文艺,但实际风格粗犷,旅途故事不空洞。其次是内容坦诚,面对偷窃和性,没有遮遮掩掩,是表里合一的洒脱和无所...
评分花了一周的时间读完了这本美国的经典著作。开始的时候逐字逐句的阅读,到后面就开始囫囵吞枣,最后草草翻完,一无所获。 我以为是我的阅读能力出了问题,在网上瞄了下,才发现也许是翻译的原因而导致我无法完全理解书中所要传达的真实含义。我读的是王永年版本的,没读过英文...

评分这个世界上有些书你知道你早晚会去读,《在路上》对于我来说属于这种。很多年前看两三行介绍,就知道你终究有一天会去找来读的书,就像和一个人对视两秒,就知道你们是否能心灵相通一样,要是从心理上掰碎了细嚼,也未必分析不出道理一二来,不过,那全无意义。 是的,全无意...

评分圣经一般
评分如果不知道想干什么,就上路上去寻找;如果觉得有些累了,就回家;如果又不知道想要什么,再上路。去哪儿不重要,干什么也不重要,只是让自己看起来可以做些什么了。
评分A must see!
