A remarkable classic, at last back in print. It is not (of course)
about motorcycle maintenance, nor is it about a motorcycle journey
(though, of course, it is, too). It is a guide, a life support
system, a novel, a philosophical treatise, an attempt to analyse
life, an examination of the nature of space and time... all things
to most men (and women). This is perhaps the archetypal
mind-stretching book: anyone who does not know it is missing
something. (Kirkus UK)
An odyssey into life's challenging philosophical questions during
an unforgettable summer motorcycle trip, Zen and the Art of
Motorcycle Maintenance transformed a generation and continues to
inspire millions. One of the most influential books written in the
past half-century, Robert Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle
Maintenance is a powerful examination of how we live and a
breathtaking meditation on how to live better. Following a father
and his young son on a summer motorcycle trip across America's
Northwest, to complete the Chautauqua spiritual journey, it is a
story of love, fear, growth, discovery and acceptance. Both
personal and philosophical, it is a compelling study of
relationships, values, and eventually, enlightenment and meaning -
resonant with the confusions and wonders of existence. Acclaimed as
one of the most exciting books in the history of American letters,
this modern epic became an instant bestseller upon publication in
1974. 'The book is inspired, original...the analogies with
Moby-Dick are patent' New Yorker 'Mr Pirsig has written a work of
great, perhaps urgent, importance... Read this book' Observer
