Synopsis "Satori in Paris (Kerouac, Jack) (in English)"

From the renowned Beat writer, Kerouac's colorful and meandering search for his family history, now reissued following his centenary celebrationSatori in Paris is the semi-autobiographical tale of Jack Kerouac's trip to France in search of his heritage. Beginning in Paris and moving west to Brittany, Kerouac traces the paths of his ancestors and explores his own understanding of the Buddhism that came to define his beliefs. From his familiar milieu of strangers and all-night conversations in seedy bars, to a pivotal cab ride in which he experiences Buddhism's satori--a feeling of sudden understanding--Kerouac's affecting and revolutionary writing transports the reader. Published at the height of his fame and showcasing his mature talent, Satori in Paris is a lyrical, rollicking tale of philosophy, identity, and the power and strangeness of travel.

Jean-Louis Lebris de Kérouack, más conocido como Jack Kerouac (1922-1969) es el novelista más destacado y emblemático de la Generación Beat. Su obra narrativa encarnó las experiencias y deseos de libertad de esa generación, espíritu plasmado mayormente en su célebre libro En el camino (1957). Poco después indagó en el budismo, experiencia que da forma a otro de sus libros más famosos: Los vagabundos del Dharma (1958). Además de la narrativa, también escribió poesía. Es reconocido por su prosa espontánea.
