Synopsis
The legendary 1951 scroll draft of On the Road , published as Kerouac originally composed it "The sparse and unassuming scroll is the living version [of On the Road ] for our time. . . . It is a dazzling piece of writing."-- The New York Times Book Review During three weeks in 1951, Jack Kerouac wrote the first draft of On the Road --typed as a long, single-spaced paragraph on eight sheets of tracing paper, which he taped together to form a scroll. Representing the identifiable point at which his vision and narrative voice first came together in a sustained burst of creative energy, the scroll is the "uncut" version of Kerouac's masterpiece--rougher, wilder, and more sexually explicit than the edited work that appeared in 1957. On the Road: The Original Scroll is Kerouac's signature achievement--and one of the most significant, celebrated, and provocative documents in American literary history. Penguin Classics is the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world, representing a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators., The legendary 1951 scroll draft of On the Road , published as Kerouac originally composed it IN THREE WEEKS in April of 1951, Jack Kerouac wrote his first full draft of On the Road --typed as a single-spaced paragraph on eight long sheets of tracing paper, which he later taped together to form a 120-foot scroll. A major literary event when it was published in Viking hardcover in 2007, this is the uncut version of an American classic--rougher, wilder, and more provocative than the official work that appeared, heavily edited, in 1957. This version, capturing a moment in creative history, represents the first full expression of Kerouac's revolutionary aesthetic. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

    Awesome Service

    Not only did the book come earlier than expected, but there was an added bonus with a bookmark that wasn't even included!! Very happy with this provider!

    Thanks for sharing this book. Only one thing, the plastic bag was too small and tight which warped the book a bit. Still, thanks.
