  Some of the Dharma

  Jack Kerouac

  While his masterpiece On the Road languished on the desks of unresponsive editors, Kerouac turned to Buddhism, and in 1953 began writing reading notes on the subject intended for his friend Allen Ginsberg. As his Buddhist study and meditation practice intensified, what had begun as notes evolved into a vast, all-encompassing work of nonfiction into which he poured his life, incorporating poems, haiku, prayers, journal entries, fragments of letters, ideas about writing, sketches, and more. The final manuscript, completed in 1956, was as visually complex as the writing: each page was unique, typed in patterns and interlocking shapes. The elaborate form that Kerouac so painstakingly gave his books is recreated in this typeset facsimile. 
  Passionate, playful, ecstatic, filled with humor, insight, beautiful language, sorrow, and struggle, Some of the Dharma is a far-ranging and extremely revealing work. 
  "Kerouac's work represents the most extensive experiment in language and literary form undertaken by an American writer of his generation." -THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

  This book focuses on the history of the Baltic States, specifically on the History of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia from the Bronze Age all the way up until the end of 21st Century.  
  Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have been the battleground for neighboring powers and the site of intense rivalry, but also interaction, between East and West. 
  This book masterfully traces the development of these three Baltic countries, from the northern crusades against Europe's last pagans, and Lithuania's rise to become one of medieval Europe's largest states, to their incorporation into the Russian Empire and the creation of their modern national identities.  
  This book pays particular attention to the tumultuous twentieth century, during which the Baltic States achieved independence, but also endured occupation by both the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. Finally, it explores how the Baltic States recovered their statehood and transformed themselves into members of the European Union.
