THE ULTIMATE, ILLUSTRATED BEATS CHRONOLOGY

Book ID/图书代码： 12312511B46336

English Summary/英文概要： Did you know that less than two weeks after Jack Kerouac reported to the Newport, RI U.S. Naval Training Station (the same month that the German 6th Army was surrendering at Stalingrad), he was discharged, diagnosed with a “Constitutional Psychopathic State, Schizoid Personality”? That just a few months later, William Burroughs moved from Chicago to New York, where he took a small apartment at 69 Bedford Street and began a heroin addiction that was to last until 1956? That meanwhile, Gregory Corso, thirteen and homeless, was being arrested for petty larceny, while Hubert Selby, Jr., fifteen, joined the Merchant Marines? And that the very same year, Allen Ginsberg, a new graduate from Eastside High School in Patterson, New Jersey, began his first semester at Columbia University, where he first made the acquaintance of Herbert Gold and Jack Kerouac?

Packed with month-by-month and week-by-week anecdotes, The Ultimate, Illustrated Beats Chronology is a meticulous timeline detailing the life events and literary accomplishments of the writers who became known as the Beat Generation. Covering an entire century and then some, this beautifully illustrated volume is certain to be an invaluable resource for anyone curious about the Beat Generation.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 谁曾想到杰克•凯鲁亚克会在前往纽波特美国海军训练台报道还不满两个星期时（当时德国第六军队在斯大林格勒投降）便遭到解雇，原因竟是他被诊断患有“体质性精神病态，即精神分裂型人格”？设又知道短短几个月后，威廉•伯洛兹从芝加哥迁居纽约，住在贝德福德大街69号的一间小公寓里，从此开始了瘾君子的生活直至1956年？谁会注意那一年，13岁的流浪儿格雷戈里•科尔索因轻盗窃罪被捕，而15岁的休伯特•塞尔比加入了海军陆战队？然而正是那一年，艾伦•金斯伯格从新泽西州帕特森市东部高校毕业，踏入了哥伦比亚大学，也从而开始了他与赫伯特•戈德以及杰克•凯鲁亚克的邂逅。《逾越时间的终极真相》一书中可以说周周月月都充满了轶闻趣事，本书以一条缜密连贯的时间线索串联起“垮掉的一代”生活的方方面面，细枝末节，真实对待那一代人所取得的文学成就。本书几乎涵盖了那一整个世纪，如果想要研究垮掉的一代，本书毋庸置疑包含了许多不为人所熟知的无价史料。(兼职翻译-DC)
