Sal Paradise, young and innocent, joins the slightly crazed Dean Moriarty 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 blend of fiction and autobiography, Jack Kerouac's novel defined the new 'Beat' generation and became the bible of the counter culture.
