    About this audiobook

    This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

    Listen now to get the main key ideas from Jack Kerouac's On the Road.

    In On the Road (1957), Jack Kerouac takes readers across America and Mexico with Sal Paradise, a young writer from New Jersey who always dreamed of exploring the West. Fresh out of reform school, the mysterious and charismatic Dean Moriarty storms into Sal’s life, marking the beginning of three years on the road. Through bus rides and hitchhiking, Sal’s journey is packed with alcohol, sex, jazz, and madness as he follows Dean across the country. Kerouac’s classic novel is both an ode to the Beat generation and a harbinger of the counterculture to come.
