Descriptions du produit

From Amazon.com

One of the best and most popular of Kerouac's autobiographical novels, The Dharma Bums is based on experiences the writer had during the mid-1950s while living in California, after he'd become interested in Buddhism's spiritual mode of understanding. One of the book's main characters, Japhy Ryder, is based on the real poet Gary Snyder, who was a close friend and whose interest in Buddhism influenced Kerouac. This book is a must-read for any serious Kerouac fan. --Ce texte provient de la Paperback édition.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Absolutely Phenomenal, Aoû 26 2008
Par Kieran Fox (Montreal) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Dharma Bums (Paperback)
Kerouac and Snyder were way ahead of their time, and this book details some of the reasons why. Zen Buddhism is old hat these days, but that these guys were wandering around America in the 50's trying to 'spin the wheel of the Dharma' is fantastic and laudable.

As for the people who gave this book 1 star: notice that neither of them can even spell Kerouac's name! Don't listen to them. This is a sensational book that was very important to me at a critical time in my life (just a few months ago, as a matter of fact).

Read this book.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Kerouac again, Oct. 6 2006
This review is from: Dharma Bums (Paperback)
Like ON THE ROAD, this book is a bit of a time capsule. More "Zen-like" than ON THE ROAD, Kerouac's Ray Smith (the narrator of DHARMA BUMS) is a dead ringer for Mr. K. The prose is clear and everything is grounded, despite the flighty nature of the beat poets and the writers of this era. With typical insight into the human condition, Kerouac weaves a journey for us that seems on the surface to be flat and boring, but the reality is that you get out of book what you put into it. While seemingly spontaneous, this is really a well thought out and well crafted book. Must also recommend another Amazon pick: --Katzenjammer--by McCrae, as well as the novel "Me Talk Pretty" by Sedaris. Not beat writers, but great stuff.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Enlightening, Mai 10 2006
Par Ghoulish (Montreal, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Dharma Bums (Paperback)
Most likely the best Kerouac book other than On The Road, Kerouac is at his best, eloquant yet unafraid of using colloquialisms to establish a believable atmosphere. Everything about this novel is so innocent and free, and as Raymond and the other characters live their spiritual lives almost devoid of any worries, one cannot help but feel some sort of inspiration to let go of our own opressive existence. There is never any conflict in this novel, just a few dharma bums living off rice and beans, praying every morning and night to buddha, getting drunk and writing poetry. Don't expect a roller-coaster of emotion, or you'll be dissapointed. This is spirituality and inner-peace manifested in a rather short novel. Recommended.
