Wake Up by Jack Kerouac

A biography of the founder of Buddhism and a study of Siddartha Gautama's life and works. It recounts the story of Prince Siddhartha's upbringing and his father's wish to protect him from all human suffering, despite a prediction that he would become a great holy man in later life. It offers an introduction to the world of Buddhism.

Jack Kerouac was born in Lowell, Massachusetts, in 1922. Educated by Jesuit brothers in Lowell, he decided to become a writer at age seventeen and developed his own writing style, which he called 'spontaneous prose'. He used this technique to record the life of the American 'traveler' and the experiences of the Beat Generation, most memorably in On the Road and also in The Subterraneans and The Dharma Bums. His other works include Big Sur, Desolation Angels, Lonesome Traveler, Visions of Gerard, Tristessa, and a book of poetry called Mexico City Blues. Jack Kerouac died in 1969.
