Lone Wanderer. Threestesses. Satori in Paris. Keroac D.

Jack Kerouac (Jean-Louis Lebri de Kerouac, 1922–1969)-a writer of the epoch, a paradox writer who sowed the wind and did not have time to find out that he had regretted a storm that had not subsided in our times. A native of the impoverished family of French aristocrats, he became the voice of protesting American youth and introduced young American intellectuals to Buddhism. Critics arrogantly did not notice him, readers-non-conformers were worn in their arms. The generation who searched the possibilities by any means to break out of the usual, philistine, cozy being into the world of absolute and, as a result, unattainable freedom. And in this context it is no longer so important what he will talk about this time - the history of his difficult relationship with the “night butterfly” from Mexico City or about the trip from Paris to Brittany, because all this is a chronicle (or, if you like, the annals ) Generations of Westers. Brilliant losers who challenged forces that cannot be defeated - and, of course, losers, but losers are so talented and bright that such a defeat is a different victory.
