Wake Up
A Life of the Buddha
Sinopsis
Never before published in Kerouacs lifetime, this 1955 biography of the founder of Buddhism is a clear and powerful study of Siddartha Gautamas life and works. Wake Up recounts the story of Prince Siddharthas royal upbringing and his fathers wish to protect him from all human suffering, despite a prediction that he would become a great holy man in later life. Departing from his fathers palace, Siddhartha adopts a homeless life, struggles with his meditations, and eventually finds Enlightenment.
Written at the end of Kerouacs career, when he became increasingly interested in Buddhist teachings, and collected for the first time in one book, this fresh and accessible biography is both an important addition to Kerouacs work and a valuable introduction to the world of Buddhism itself.
