500 Autobiographical.
520 Acclaimed as one of the most exciting books in the history
of American letters, this modern epic became an instant
bestseller upon publication in 1974, transforming a
generation and continuing to inspire millions. This 25th
Anniversary Edition features a new introduction by the
author, in which he reveals his original intention about
the book's controversial ending, as well as important
typographical changes reflecting his ideas. A narration of
a summer motorcycle trip undertaken by a father and his
son, the book becomes a personal and philosophical odyssey
into fundamental questions of how to live. The narrator's
relationship with his son leads to a powerful self-
reckoning, the craft of motorcycle maintenance leads to an
austerely beautiful process for reconciling science,
religion, and humanism. Resonant with the confusions of
existence, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is a
touching and transcendent book of life.--From publisher
