Description

Jack Kerouac's The Dharma Bums is a witty and moving philosophical novel about friendship, self-discovery, and the allure of nature. This Penguin Modern Classics edition includes an introduction by Ann Douglas. The book charts the spiritual quest of a group of friends as they seek the lesson of solitude and experience the Zen way of life in the high Sierras. In contrast to their bohemian lifestyle in San Francisco, where poetry jam sessions and marathon drinking bouts are the norm, they find the ascetic route distinctly hard to follow. A thought-provoking exploration of the human search for meaning, The Dharma Bums is a journey of self-discovery through the lens of Zen Buddhist thought.
