Description

At its heart, the story is all too simple: a man and his son take a lengthy motorcycle trip through America. But this is not a simple trip at all, for around every corner, through mountain and desert, wind and rain, and searing heat and biting cold, their pilgrimage leads them to new vistas of self-discovery and renewal. This is an elemental work that has helped to shape and define the past twenty-five years of American culture. This special audio edition presents this adventure in a compelling way-for the millions who have already taken this journey and want to travel these roads again, and for the many more who will discover for the first time the wonders and challenges of a journey that will change the way they think and feel about their lives.

reviews
      • premium: True
      • source: AudioFile Magazine
      • content: A journey through philosophical inquiry and the landscape of the American West, this audiobook captures the rolling narrative of author Pirsig's uniquely American style. His form of Chautauqua, originally a spoken presentation combining education and entertainment, allows for a natural transition from the written word to audio. Michael Kramer has a friendly, confident voice, and he reads the thoughts of Pirsig's curious narrator as if they were his own. Although the book includes much dense philosophical speculation, Kramer's measured pace and clear delivery help to convey its complex ideas. He is equally convincing as the secondary characters, giving each a distinctive voice. Kramer's casual style suits the author's own informal tone, and he perfectly renders how the listener would imagine the voice of the fictional narrator. T.D.M. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
      • premium: True
      • source: AudioFile Magazine
      • content: Although more than twenty years have passed since the book's original publication, Pirsig's philosophies on technology and science, nature and love still offer much to this generation. Lawrence Pressman's delightful performance conveys the author's deep awareness and self-discovery. The combination of the book's vivid imagery and Pressman's contemplative delivery help ease the listener into Pirsig's lesson: we should pay less attention to "what things mean," more attention to "what they are."
