The Dharma Bums

Book Review

«The Dharma Bums» by Jack Kerouac is a vivid and profound novel that continues the exploration of themes begun in «On the Road». The book immerses the reader in the world of beatniks, their spiritual quests, and their pursuit of freedom. Critics note that Kerouac masterfully captures the atmosphere of the era, creating lively and memorable images. Special attention is given to the philosophical reflections of the characters on life, religion, and nature. Some reviewers highlight that the novel may seem chaotic and fragmented, but this is precisely where its uniqueness and charm lie. «The Dharma Bums» is not just a book, but an entire world that one wants to dive into again and again.
