ISBN: 9780140274158 / 0140274154 - On the Road by Jack Kerouac. Published by Penguin Books, 1998. Softcover. Used, Good condition. 290 pp. (Some foxing and tanning) "The only people for me are the mad ones," wrote Jack Kerouac, "the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars." On the Road is the classic story of two such characters: Sal Paradise and Dean Moriarty, who set off on an odyssey through 1950's underground America, fueled by jazz, sex, drugs, mystical philosophy, and a limitless passion for experience.
