Lila - Thryft

Philosophical exploration of life through a journey.

"Lila is a thought-provoking and profound book that takes the reader on a philosophical exploration of life through the journey of the philosopher-narrator Phaedrus down the Hudson River in a sailboat. Pirsig's writing is both insightful and engaging, with a unique style that blends philosophy and storytelling seamlessly. The book's most unique feature is its ability to challenge the reader's preconceived notions about life and its essential issues. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys philosophical literature and introspection."

Description

In this best-selling new book, his first in seventeen years, Robert M. Pirsig, author of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, takes us on a poignant and passionate journey as mysterious and compelling as his first life-changing work. Instead of a motorcycle, a sailboat carries his philosopher-narrator Phaedrus down the Hudson River as winter closes in. Along the way he picks up a most unlikely traveling companion: a woman named Lila who in her desperate sexuality, hostility, and oncoming madness threatens to disrupt his life.In Lila Robert M. Pirsig has crafted a unique work of adventure and ideas that examines the essential issues of the nineties as his previous classic did the seventies.
