About
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M. Pirsig:
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is three books in one, including the author's account of a transcontinental journey, his struggle to reconcile both halves of an identity fragmented by his own mental illness, and a rumination on Eastern versus Western philosophy.
Now, more than forty years since its original release,
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance has become a modern classic-the kind of book that challenges readers to step outside of their everyday thoughts and consider some of life's most profound questions through the entertaining lens of a father-son trip.
The summary and analysis in this ebook are intended to complement your reading experience and bring you closer to a great work of nonfiction.
