Sobre este artículo
The Macmillan Company, 1970. First Edition, so stated. Hardcover. Photographs by Russell Munson. In Near Fine condition.
First Edition, so stated, with blue fabric pictorial boards that show just a touch of wear to outter edges. Spine clean with bright white text. Embossed seagull to front board clean. Price clipped dust jacket that is also in Near Fine condition save for a touch of wear at edges, very minor. Previous owner's small script and date (Jane 1971.) at top of the flyleaf.
A beautiful copy that appears barely touched.
Both "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" and "Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah" ranked among the best-selling books of the 1970s. Richard Bach, the author, expressed his passion for aviation throughout many of his works. His aviation expertise led him through various roles, including service in the US Navy Reserve, the New Jersey Air National Guard, work as a fighter pilot, and even as a stunt pilot operating as a "barnstormer."
"Jonathan Livingston Seagull" is an allegorical fable reminiscent of stories Aesop might have appreciated. The narrative traces a seagull's transformation from mundane existence to spiritual enlightenment. Accompanied by black and white photographs captured by Russell Munson, the book achieved notable success, selling nearly 1 million copies. Its popularity primarily stemmed from word-of-mouth recommendations.

Though the inspiring tale of one seagull who realises there is so much more to flying than most realise, this book puts beautifully into words and stunning pictures our largely untapped potential hidden within the gift of life.
