  Arrive Without Travelling DVD

New for 2008, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the original motorcycle road trip that Robert Pirsig, his son Chris and his friends, the Sutherlands, undertook across America, an authorized DVD series about the MOQ and Robert Pirsig's life will be released during Liverpool's European Capital of Culture year.  To see a promo of the series, please press on the following link:

 

 

 

As part of this forthcoming set, "Arrive Without Travelling" is the first ever DVD to feature Robert Pirsig on film.  Using professional quality footage and excerpts from Pirsig's own home movies, here you will find him in conversation with students of his work and in more informal moments filmed largely during his recent visit to Liverpool.  Note the following feedback from one happy viewer! 


Anthony,

I loved the DVD.... [it was] wonderful, creative, meaningful!!! All
and more than I expected. I loved the special effects and musical
score. Perfect! And Pirsig? Beautiful! Beautiful in both a real
and imaginary sense. (I suppose that would be a static and Dynamic
sense.) Thank you, for adding something very special to my life.
