In celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States, HarperCollins is proud to present this library of American classics drawn from our storied catalog. Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is Robert M. Pirsig's influential book about one man's search for meaning on a motorcycle trip through the American West and an enduring roadmap for living a richer, more purposeful existence.
Sometimes it's better to travel than to arrive.
Robert M. 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.
