Synopsis "The Haunted Life (Penguin Modern Classics)"

The Haunted Life is the coming-of-age story of Peter Martin, a college track star determined to idle away what he knows will be one of his last innocent summers in his tranquil New England home town. But with the war escalating in Europe and his two closest friends both plotting their escapes, he realizes how sheltered his upbringing has been. As he surveys the competing influences of his youth, he struggles to determine what might lead to an intellectually authentic life. The Haunted Life is ultimately a meditation on intellectual truth, male friendship and the desire for movement - all themes that would dominate Kerouac's later work.

Jean-Louis Lebris de Kérouack, más conocido como Jack Kerouac (1922-1969) es el novelista más destacado y emblemático de la Generación Beat. Su obra narrativa encarnó las experiencias y deseos de libertad de esa generación, espíritu plasmado mayormente en su célebre libro En el camino (1957). Poco después indagó en el budismo, experiencia que da forma a otro de sus libros más famosos: Los vagabundos del Dharma (1958). Además de la narrativa, también escribió poesía. Es reconocido por su prosa espontánea.
