2007 marks the 50th anniversary of Jack Kerouac's legendary American novel 'On the road', the only book that succeeds in putting down on paper all the mystery and promise of America's great open road.Kerouac's original manuscript which was typed in 3 weeks on one long sheet of teletype paper affectionately called 'the roll', was sold in 2001 for $2.4 million. Now that's one damn good read.
'On the Road' traces Kerouac's spontaneous road trips across the states during the changing times of post war America, and inspired countless young writers, artists and musicians, helping to shape America's youth culture for decades. Viking Press who published the first addition of 'On the Road in August 1957, fifty years ago today, have recently publishing an uncensored version of the book with material that was deemed unsuitable at the time.
For over 30 years, TrekAmerica has been tempting travellers away from the "package" holiday approach and into the world of active and exciting small group adventure holidays. This is the world of TrekAmerica - the specialists in "off the beaten path" adventure travel across the Americas. So why not challenge yourself...not your budget.Travel Light Reading
