Inhaltsangabe

50th anniversary edition • With a new foreword by Matthew B. Crawford, author of Shop Class as Soulcraft

The bestselling masterpiece about one man’s search for meaning on a motorcycle trip through the American West— an enduring examination of how we live and how to live better

One of the most important and influential books of the past half century, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is Robert M. Pirsig’s classic exploration of human experience and endeavor. Pirsig’s narrative of a father and son on a summer motorcycle trip becomes a profound personal and philosophical odyssey into life’s fundamental questions. A true modern classic, it remains at once touching and transcendent, resonant with the myriad confusions of existence and the small, essential triumphs that propel us forward.

“Profoundly important. . . . Full of insights into our most perplexing contemporary dilemmas.” —New York Times
