杰克·凯鲁亚克是美国"垮掉的一代"文说的代表人物,《在路上》是他的第二部作品。这部作品一经出版,无论是从小说描写的敏感度上,还是从对小说主题的探究上,都受到了极大的关注。这部堪称是美国垮掉派小说的《圣经》的文学作品是对美国精神的伟大诠释。以小说中主人公萨尔·帕拉迪斯和迪恩的美国精神展现为切入点,反观美国无论是上层阶级还是普通人民在第二次世界大战以后的精神困惑和人生探索。
Jack Kerouac is the representative of American Beat Generation and his work, On the Road, is regarded as the Bible of the Beat Generation. Once it has been published, its sensitive description and topic have attracted a lot of attention, though there has been usual negative evaluation. The fact is that this novel totally verifies American spirits. Through the analysis of Dean and Sal, the spiritual predicaments of middle - upper class and ordinary people after the Second World War are the high- lighted part.
