This is the definitive, uncut version of Jack Kerouac's Beat Generation masterpiece, On the Road, transcribed from the legendary 120-foot-long scroll of tracing paper on which Kerouac typed his first draft in 1951.

This edition captures the raw, frenetic, and untamed energy of the author's "spontaneous prose" as he originally composed it.

Unlike the heavily edited 1957 novel, the Scroll version is rougher, wilder, and more sexually explicit, restoring the original, real names of his friends, like Neal Cassady (as Dean Moriarty). It chronicles the impulsive, cross-country road trips of Sal Paradise and Dean Moriarty in a search for freedom, jazz, and genuine experience in post-war America.

This book is an essential text for literary enthusiasts, Beat aficionados, and collectors of classic counterculture literature.
