Product Information

Few books transform a generation and then establish themselves as touchstones for the generations that follow. Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is one such book. Years in the writing and rejected by 121 publishers, this modern epic of a man's search for meaning became an instant bestseller upon publication in 1974. Acclaimed as one of the most exciting books in the history of American letters, it continues to inspire millions of readers. This 25th Anniversary Edition features a penetrating new Introduction by Robert Pirsig, in which he reveals his original intention about the book's controversial ending, as well as important typographical changes reflecting his ideas. An autobiography of the mind and body, the book is a narration of a motorcycle trip taken by a father and his eleven-year-old son; a summer junket that confronts mortal truths on the journey of life. As the miles pass, the mind expands, and the narrator's tale covers many topics, from motorcycle maintenance itself through a search for how to live, an inquiry into "what is best," and the creation of a philosophical system reconciling science, religion, and humanism. Unwanted and unbidden is the narrator's confrontation with a ghost: his former self, a brilliant man whose search for truth drove him to madness and death. This ghost, Phaedrus, haunts the narrator as he and his son visit places where they once lived. And, too, he confronts his deteriorating relationship with his son, who has himself been diagnosed as suffering the beginning symptoms of mental illness. Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance speaks directly to the confusions and agonies of existence. In his intimate detailing of a personal and philosophical odyssey, Robert M. Pirsig has written a touching, painful, and ultimately transcendent book of life.

Reviews
"An unforgettable trip." -- Time "The book is inspired, original. . . . The analogies with Moby-Dick are patent." -- The New Yorker "Profoundly important...full of insights into our most perplexing contemporary dilemmas." -- New York Times "It is filled with beauty. . .a finely made whole that seems to emanate from a very special grace." -- Baltimore Sun "A miracle . . . sparkles like an electric dream." -- The Village Voice, "The Book Is Inspired, Original. . . . the Analogies with Moby-Dick Are Patent.", "An Unforgettable Trip.", "It Is Filled with Beauty. . .A Finely Made Whole That Seems to Emanate from a Very Special Grace.", "An unforgettable trip." -- Time "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance sold millions of copies and made Pirsig a reluctant hero to generations of intellectual wanderers...Zen was an instant classic -- a work of literature that captured the spirit of its time and retained its appeal long after the hippie movement had faded." -- Washington Post "A touchstone. ... Pirsig's plunge into the grand philosophical questions of Western culture remained near the top of the bestseller lists for a decade and helped define the post-hippie 1970s landscape." -- New York Times "The truly great road trip novel. ... Many former angsty teens will surely fondly recall their own dog-eared, heavily underlined copies of Pirsig's book, and the initial joy that accompanied reading something that felt so specifically personal and yet so urgently universal. ... Zen's ongoing reprints, its devoted fan base, and the countless road trips and pseudo-spiritual journeys it's inspired are indicative of the book's ongoing appeal." -- GQ "Inspired college classes, academic conferences and a legion of 'Pirsig pilgrims' who retrace the anguished, cross-country motorcycle trip at the heart of his novel." -- Los Angeles Times "Profoundly important...full of insights into our most perplexing contemporary dilemmas." -- New York Times "The book is inspired, original. . . . The analogies with Moby-Dick are patent." -- The New Yorker "It is filled with beauty. . .a finely made whole that seems to emanate from a very special grace." -- Baltimore Sun "A miracle . . . sparkles like an electric dream." -- The Village Voice, "A Miracle . . . Sparkles like an Electric Dream.", "Profoundly Important...Full of Insights Into Our Most Perplexing Contemporary Dilemmas."

    Great book about life

    I'm a father. I enjoy riding and maintaining vintage motorcycles. I also enjoy philosophy and try to live the best life I can. This book combines life lessons with a interesting narrative about the cross-country motorcycle trip of a father and his son. Engines were simpler then. And so were the ideas. If you're a father, or had a father, you like motorcycles or don't, whether you are young or old, conservative or liberal, you'll enjoy this book. It's not a motorcycle maintenance manual. It's manual for life.

    A must read for any motorcyclist

    Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is one of a very select few books I choose to read at least once every year. It really touches my soul on many levels. Parts of the book are really philosophical so it can take some time to read, and some nights you just can't do it but I suggest you give it a try and I think you will love it.
