Understanding Space and Landscape in Jack Kerouac's Novels
HANISCHOVÁ, Sandra
In the introduction of this thesis I will introduce the main authors of the beat generation and their thought reference. The thesis then focuses on the understanding of space and the landscape in Jack Kerouac's novels (On the Road, Big Sur) in connection with the theme of the creation of the Beat Generation (search for the meaning of human existence, the motif of the road, spiritualism and the relation to religion). One of the chapters of this thesis compares the biographical facts of the representatives of the beat generation (Kerouac, Ferlinghetti) and the autobiographical features of Jack Kerouac's work, especially in the novel Big Sur. The conclusion of the thesis summarizes Kerouac's image of literary California and its space perception of America as an unit.
