Traité du zen et de l’entretien des motocyclettes

The extraordinary story of a man’s quest for truth. It will change the way you think and feel about your life. “The cycle you’re working on is a cycle called ‘yourself.'””The study of the art of motorcycle maintainence is really a study of the art of rationality itself. Working on a motorcycle, working well, caring, is to become part of a process, to achieve an inner peace of mind. The motorcycle is primarily a mental phenomenon.” — Robert M. Pirsig”Profoundly important… full of insights into our most perplexing contemporary dilemmas… It is intellectual entertainment of the highest order.” — “The New York Times””It lodges in the mind as few recent novels have… The book is inspired, original… As the mountains gentle toward the sea–with father and child locked in a ghostly grip–the narrative tact, the perfect economy of effect defy criticism… The analogies with “Moby Dick” are patent. Robert Pirsig invites the prodigious comparison… What more can one say?” — “The New Yorker””It’s a miracle.. sparkles like an electric dream. Freshness, originality… that seduces you into loving motorcycles, as tender in their pistons as the petals in the Buddah’s dawn lotus.” — “The Village Voice”
