A landmark novel of the Beat Generation and one of the defining works of 20th-century American literature. On the Road follows Sal Paradise and Dean Moriarty through a restless journey across America, capturing the movement, jazz, freedom and searching spirit of the Beat era.

The original UK price of 5/- is also printed on the rear cover.
