Sobre este artículo
(London): Andre Deutsch, 1959. Fine in very good plus jacket.. First UK edition of Kerouac's classic Beat novel, published the year after the U.S. edition, in the striking Bernard Blatch dust jacket. Written over ten marathon sessions in 1957 (also in scroll format, like ON THE ROAD), DHARMA BUMS follows Kerouac's and Gary Snyder's literary stand-ins as they sample the Beat scene and ponder Buddhism. "I'd sit at the typewriter and do 20,000 or 15,000 words," Kerouac remembered in 1966. "I can't do that anymore. Got to be an athlete." It remains a much-loved work. 7.5'' x 5''. Original red cloth with gilt-lettered spine. In original price-clipped (front panel; 15s intact on rear panel) pictorial dust jacket by Bernard Blatch. Publisher's label with correct 1959 publication date to title page verso, covering "1950" misprinting. Minor foxing to endpapers and top edge. Shallow chipping and edgewear to jacket extremities; rubbing, wear and some soil to rear panel.
Sinopsis
The Dharma Bums is a 1958 novel by Beat Generation author Jack Kerouac. The semi-fictional accounts in the novel are based upon events that occurred years after the events of On the Road. The main characters are the narrator Ray Smith, based on Kerouac, and Japhy Ryder, based on the poet, essayist Gary Snyder, who was instrumental in Kerouac's introduction to Buddhism in the mid-1950s.
