Publisher Description
A philosophical odyssey into life's fundamental 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, 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 - 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

Zen and the art of Motorcycle Maintainance
One of my favorite books ever. It explains the thought process in mechanical terms but is almost spiritual in its methodology. I can't recommend it enough!
Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance
This has to be my number one book. Grab your book, your bike, and your tent. Take a journey both physically and mentally away from here and now to before and beyond. This book is worth the journey every time you read and retread it
