Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance»rank: 344par: Robert M Pirsig
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Arguably one of the most profoundly important essays ever written on the nature and significance of 'quality' and definitely a necessary anodyne to the consequences of a modern world pathologically obsessed with quantity.

For some people, this has been a truly life-changing book. |

April and Frank Wheeler are a young, ostensibly thriving couple living with their two children in a prosperous Connecticut suburb in the mid-1950s. However, like the characters in John Updike's similarly themed Couples, the self-assured exterior masks a creeping frustration at their inability to feel fulfilled in their relationships or careers. Frank is mired in a well-paying but boring office job ... |
