2019 Reprint of 1961 Edition.  Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition software.  The Book of Dreams is a description of what Kerouac saw in his sleep as actual dreams, not his daydreams or waking reveries.  The dreams are strung together in loose narrative form in an effort to convey their content to the reader.  The dreams also provide the raw poetic material from which the author drew to create his more well-known works of poetry and prose.  They provides a fascinating insight into the raw emotional life of this celebrated Beat author.

This is the story of the year--1875 to 1876--when the young novelist moved to Paris, drawn by his literary idols living at the center of the early modern movement in art.
