About this ebook
Una dintre cele mai importante cărți din a doua jumătate a secolului XX, Zen și arta reparării motocicletei a influențat viețile a milioane de cititori, constituindu-se într-o meditație surprinzătoare asupra felului în care putem descoperi sensurile profunde ale existenței într-o lume tot mai confuză. Lungul periplu pe care un tată și băiatul lui îl fac prin nord-vestul Americii devine o odisee personală, emoționantă, în care repararea motocicletei ne dezvăluie cum măiestria și imaginația pot îmblânzi în cele din urmă tehnologia.
