Robert Maynard Pirsig bol americký spisovateľ a filozof. Jeho dielo skúma hlboké otázky hodnôt a kvality, často zasadené do neobvyklých naratívnych rámcov. Pirsigov prístup kombinuje filozofické úvahy s pútavým rozprávaním, čím čitateľov nabáda k zamysleniu sa nad povahou reality a zmyslom života. Jeho písanie je charakteristické prenikavou analýzou a jedinečným pohľadom na ľudské skúsenosti.

Philosophy - Lila: An Inquiry into Morals was a nominated finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1992. This semi-autobiographical story takes place in the autumn as the author sails his boat down the Hudson River. Phaedrus, the author's alter ego, is jarred out of his solitary routine by an encounter with Lila, a straightforward but troubled woman who is nearing a mental breakdown.
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance caused a literary sensation when it was first published in 1974. The story of the narrator, his son Chris and their month-long motorcycle odyssey from Minnesota to California, profoundly affected an entire generation. A combination of philosophical speculation and psychological tension, the book is a story of relationships, values, madness and, eventually, enlightenment.
