They had a rattletrap Fiat and a little money, but above all they were equipped with the certainty that by hook or by crook they would reach their destination, and that there would be unanticipated adventures, curious companionship, and sudden illumination along the way. \u003ci\u003eThe Way of the World\u003c\/i\u003e, which Bouvier fashioned over the course of many years from his journals, is an entrancing story of adventure, an extraordinary work of art, and a voyage of self-discovery on the order of Robert M. Pirsig’s \u003ci\u003eZen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.\u003c\/i\u003e As Bouvier writes, “You think you are making a trip, but soon it is making—or unmaking—you.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New York Review Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47035276624112,"sku":"9781590173220","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781590173220_p0.jpg?v=1763809917","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781590173220","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
