Bitniki. Velikii otkaz, ili puteshestvie v poiskakh Ameriki - Khaustov D.

The historian of philosophy Dmitry Khaustov invites the reader on a fascinating tour of the world of bit-generation literature. The author explores the characteristic features and cultural backgrounds of the birth of the literary movement, the flagship of which was the trinity "Kerouak - Ginsberg - Burroughs." In an attempt to reflect on this great American myth of the twentieth century, the author wonders about the essence of the so-called American dream, turning in his search to the ideological attitudes of the Enlightenment. In order to find out what the bit-generation is, the author undertakes an extensive excursion into the field of history, philosophy, sociology and art history, combining deep erudition with expressive writing style.
