A father and his teenage son travel together, by motorcycle, across the vast spaces of mid-America. Against the monotonous beauty of weather and landscape, the father's inner voice begins to relate motorcycle maintenance with the order and method that define Zen Buddhism, a train of thought which leads to the notion of 'quality'.
Complete and unabridged, this work includes 12 CDs, with a total duration of 13 hours. A famous, partly autobiographical, novel published in 1974 hailed as one of the top books of that decade. A father and his teenage son travel together, by motorcycle, across the vast spaces of mid-America. But it is a relationship in crisis. Against the monotonous beauty of weather and landscape, the father's inner voice begins to relate motorcycle maintenance with the order and method that define Zen Buddhism, a train of thought which leads to the notion of 'quality' - a concept of such philosophical challenge that attempting to define it threatens sanity itself. "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" is an extraordinary story of relationships, values, madness and, ultimately, enlightenment.
