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.
Sinopsis
Jonathan Livingston Seagull, written by Richard Bach, is a fable in novella form about a seagull learning about life and flight, and a homily about self-perfection. First published in 1970 as "Jonathan Livingston Seagull — a story", it became a favorite throughout the United States. By the end of 1972, over a million copies were in print, Reader's Digest had published a condensed version, and the book reached the top of the New York Times Best Seller list where it remained for 38 weeks.
Reseñas
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.
awesome theme and awesome way of narrating the story!
