Book description:



A narration of a summer motorcycle trip undertaken by a father and his son, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance becomes a personal and philosophical odyssey into fundamental questions on how to live. The narrator's relationship with his son leads to a powerful self-reckoning; the craft of motorcycle maintenance leads to an austerely beautiful process for reconciling science, religion, and humanism. Resonant with the confusions of existence, this classic is a touching and transcendent book of life.</p>

This new edition contains an interview with Pirsig and letters and documents detailing how this extraordinary book came to be.</p>This P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more.
