BACH, Richard - Jonathan Livingston Seagull - (Paperback)

Book still in a very good condition.  >>>  "Most gulls don't bother to learn more than the simplest facts of flight--how to get from shore to food and back again," writes author Richard Bach in this allegory about a unique bird named Jonathan Livingston Seagull. "For most gulls it is not flying that matters, but eating. For this gull, though, it was not eating that mattered, but flight."    -   Flight is indeed the metaphor that makes the story soar. Ultimately this is a fable about the importance of seeking a higher purpose in life, even if your flock, tribe, or neighborhood finds your ambition threatening. (At one point our beloved gull is even banished from his flock.) By not compromising his higher vision, Jonathan gets the ultimate payoff: transcendence. Ultimately, he learns the meaning of love and kindness.    -   I read this book when I was a teenager, it set the stage for a life of searching for a higher purpose and today, more than 50 years later, my life is still heaven on earth. (And I, Roza, adds 'sometimes')
