On the Road
Jack 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.

On the Road
"An authentic work of art . . . the most beautifully executed, the clearest and the most important utterance yet made by the generation Kerouac himself named years ago as 'beat,' and whose principal avatar he is." --Gilbert Millstein, The New York Times "On the Road has the kind of drive that blasts through to a large public. . . . What makes the novel really important, what gives it that drive is a genuine new, engaging and exciting prose style. . . . What keeps the book going is the power and beauty of the writing." --Kenneth Rexroth, San Francisco Chronicle "One of the finest novels of recent years. . . a highly euphoric and intensely readable story about a group of wandering young hedonists who cross the country in endless search of kicks." --Leonard Feather, Downbeat

Majakovskij e Lili Brik. Una storia d'amore e rivoluzione
La nave tempestosa della vita di Vladimir Majakovskij, il cantore della Rivoluzione, respirò in egual misura poesia e amore. La poesia declamata davanti a folle di operai e contadini o stampata sui celebri poster che inondarono la nuova Russia bolscevica e l'amore per una donna libera e ribelle: Lili Brik, sposata da poco con il critico letterario Osip Brik quando conobbe Majakovskij, nel 1915. Per lunghi anni Majakovskij e i Brik lavorarono e vissero insieme in un singolare ménage a trois, di cui Lili rappresentò costantemente il centro. Ricostruendo le travolgenti vicende di quella che resterà per sempre una delle più belle storie d'amore di tutti i tempi, Ann e Samuel Charters restituiscono - grazie a fonti di prima mano e alla lunga frequentazione con la stessa Lili Brik - la voce alla possente ispirazione di Majakovskij, al talento di Lili Brik e al fermento culturale che rese il salotto di casa Brik un punto di riferimento insostituibile per capire le idee degli uomini e delle donne che finirono per sovvertire l'intera società russa.

On the Road
Sal Paradise, a young innocent, joins his hero Dean Moriarty, a traveller and mystic, the living epitome of Beat, on a breathless, exuberant ride back and forth across the United States. Their 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.
