Jonathan Livingston Seagull is a bird who is bored with the daily scramble for fish. He wants to fly faster and higher, to learn what flight really is, and for that the flock casts him out. Alone, he practices high-speed dives and aerobatics, until two radiant gulls take him to a higher plane where others share his devotion to perfect flight. Later he returns to teach a young outcast, Fletcher Lynd Gull, and a small circle of students. Richard Bach tells it as a short fable with black-and-white photographs of gulls, using flight as a way to speak about discipline, limits and freedom.
It suits readers who like short parables about self-improvement, spirituality and nonconformity. People facing pressure to follow the crowd, or those drawn to the pilot's perspective Bach brings, will find an easy, quick read with plenty to reflect on.
Inward-looking and contemplative; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Mindful Reader. Which reader are you?
