Synopsis "The Dharma Bums "

Jack Kerouac's classic novel about friendship, the search for meaning, and the allure of nature First published in 1958, a year after On the Road put the Beat Generation on the map, The Dharma Bums stands as one of Jack Kerouac's most powerful and influential novels. The story focuses on two ebullient young Americans--mountaineer, poet, and Zen Buddhist Japhy Ryder, and Ray Smith, a zestful, innocent writer--whose quest for Truth leads them on a heroic odyssey, from marathon parties and poetry jam sessions in San Francisco's Bohemia to solitude and mountain climbing in the High Sierras.

Jack Kerouac (1922-1969), an emblematic figure of the Beat Generation, captured the spirit of the era in his novels. Notable works include “On the Road” (1957), a key work on travel and freedom, “The Dharma Bums” (1958), inspired by Buddhism, and “The Subterraneans” (1958), about bohemian life. Kerouac, also a poet, is recognized for his spontaneous prose.
