On the simplest level, it is the story of a summer month's motorcycle trip taken by the narrator with his eleven-year-old son from their home in Minnesota to California. While they ride, the narrator delivers to the reader a series of discourses which range over a multitude of topics, from motorcycle maintenance itself, through a search for how to live and an inquiry into 'what is best' to a philosophy that can reconcile science, religion and humanism. ***But on another, and connecting, level the book is the story of the narrator's visit to the 'forgotten tomb of his past' and his confrontation there with a ghost. The ghost is called Phaedrus and is his former self, a brilliant, questioning man who in his attempt to make sense of his life went mad, underwent shock therapy and 'died' - and has now returned. He and his son have to face that ghost together. He also has to face the fact that his relationship with his son has been deteriorating during the journey. This is the last problem to which he finds a reconciliation. ***An Autobiography of the mind and the body, "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" takes the reader on a trip - in a literal, emotional and philosophical sense - that is not only unforgettable but also unlike anything he has previously experienced.' ***'"Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" is an unforgettable trip'. Time magazine (Quote and review quote taken from the flaps of the dustwrapper) ***A superb example of the first impression of the first UK edition, in its original attractive colour-illustrated first impression dustwrapper, designed by John Sewell. First impressions of the UK first edition are hard to find now, and are almost always damaged in some way. Copies in such near fine condition are seldom seen now. A collector's copy of this cult classic. An iconic twentieth century literary and philosophical title. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. John Sewell (Cover illustration) (illustratore).…
