Robert M. Pirsig’s Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is a profound and intelligent book, a narrative of a summer motorcycle trip undertaken by a father and his son. 

It also contains incisive philosophical reflections on how to live, demonstrated by the narrator’s project of teaching his young son about tools and values. The book became an instant bestseller when it appeared in 1974, and since then has sold millions of copies around the world.
