À propos de cet audio
An odyssey into life’s challenging questions during an unforgettable summer motorcycle trip
Acclaimed as one of the most exciting books in the history of American letters, Robert M. Pirsig’s Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance became an instant bestseller upon its publication in 1974. A powerful examination of how we live, as well as a breath-taking meditation on how to live better, it tells the epic story of a father and son’s motorcycle trip across America’s Northwest in the 1960s.
Pirsig’s modern classic transformed a generation and continues to inspire millions of readers today. Dramatised for radio for the first time by Peter Flannery (Our Friends in the North, George Gently, The Devil’s Whore), this fantastic full-cast production stars James Purefoy (Rome, Injustice, Ironclad) and adds a new and original dimension to an iconic work. Following a father and his young son on their cross-country summer adventure from Minnesota to California, it is a story of love, fear, growth, discovery and acceptance. Both personal and philosophical, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is also a compelling study of relationships, values, enlightenment and meaning.
The maintenance of the motorcycle throughout the journey illustrates how to unify the cold, rational realm of technology with the warm, imaginative realm of artistry. Resonating with the confusions and the wonders of existence, the narrator wrestles with some of the most important philosophical questions of the 20th century. His need to also reconcile his past and present selves drives him and his son forward, to a point where all is either lost or won on the Chautauqua spiritual journey.
This audio edition includes a bonus 10 minutes of material that was not broadcast on the radio.
NB: the recording contains strong language.

More than a decade before the release of the book that would make him famous, Robert M. Pirsig had already caught hold of the central theme that would animate Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Though he was revered by fans who considered him a guru, the famously private Pirsig published only two books and consented to few interviews and almost no public appearances. Now, for the first time, listeners will be granted access to five decades of Pirsig’s personal writings in this posthumous collection that illuminates the evolution of his thinking to an unprecedented degree.

The Origins and History of Consciousness draws on a full range of world mythology to show how individual consciousness undergoes the same archetypal stages of development as human consciousness as a whole. Erich Neumann was one of C. G. Jung's most creative students and a renowned practitioner of analytical psychology in his own right. In this influential book, Neumann shows how the stages begin and end with the symbol of the Uroboros, the tail-eating serpent.

On October 6, 1973, Ted Simon knew there was no going back. He loaded up his 500cc Triumph Tiger in the pouring rain and said good-bye to London. Over four years he rode 64,000 miles round the world. Breakdowns, revolutions, war, a spell in prison, and a Californian commune were all part of his experience, which was colored variously by utter despair and unimaginable joy. He was treated as a spy, a god, a welcome stranger and a curiosity

It is almost impossible to understand Zen by studying it as you would other intellectual pursuits. The best way to understand Zen is, simply, to Zen. This is what author Eugen Herrigel allows us to do by sharing his own fascinating journey toward a comprehension of this illuminating philosophy. In Japan, an art such as archery is not practiced solely for utilitarian purposes such as learning to hit targets. Archery is also meant to train the mind and bring it into contact with the ultimate reality.

voices are a bit hard to take at times
I think its probably a good introduction to what the book might be like, but I feel like a lot is also probably missing. Some of the voices are hard to take and made my skin crawl a few times... if I had to choose over again, I'd probably pick a different version.

Buy the book, not the audiobook
This is fine, but it's like a heavily watered-down version of the book. It's dramatised, but what made the book such a fascinating essential read, was all the philosophy, and all Phaedrus' thoughts, the vast majority of which are missing. It's as if you're only getting the surface of things, rather than what lines beneath, missing what truly makes the actual book one of the greatest of the 20th century. It's long been said that it's an unfilmable book, and this audiobook only serves to reinforce that.
I don't like it when people say, "Don't buy this, buy the book instead" ... but really, all the things they took out, were all the things that blew my mind, and had a profound effect on the way I thought and viewed the world. Please, please, please, buy the book, and read it, more than once!

I really liked the acting but I feel like they skipped over way to much shortening the book.

Didn’t translate to audiobook format well
Just my opinion. I primarily enjoy audiobooks while driving for work, treadmill, travelling.
One of the key elements for me that I look for in a decent audiobook is the voice quality and performance of the narrator(s). Recently I wrote a positive review about Rupert Farley (I believe that’s his last name) who narrated and performed A Prayer Before Dawn.
In the case of Zen & TAOMM, I found the performances to be too sharp for my ear. Chris’ voice (while I’m sure deliberate) was very annoying.
Also, I accept responsibility that I bought an audiobook to listen to, and try to digest this concept of philosophy brought forth by Pirsig. It’s probably something that would have made more sense to read, and takes notes.
I personally wouldn’t recommend this title to anyone that is looking to learn what Pirsig is saying. Also, this book is barely about the concept of Zen, and definitely doesn’t explicitly take about motorcycle maintenance, in case you didn’t know that already.

not for Zen students
Not sure why this book is recommended in the Zen community but nothing from Zen is discussed in this story. I waited for the knowledge nugget to drop but only philosophical hints were heard, nothing more. The story is kind of depressing too
