Summary of Jonathan Livingston Seagull
The classic story that sent Richard Bach soaring to literary fameIn this all-new edition of one of the world's most beloved bestsellers, Richard Bach shares the enchanting tale of Jonathan Livingston Seagull, the bird determined to be more than an ordinary gull, determined to find a reason for living-determined to be free. Jonathan's story is for people who make their own rules when they know they're right; people who get a special pleasure out of doing something well, even if only for themselves; people who know there's more to this whole living thing than meets the eye. Read by the author, this is an adventure in flight, an adventure of the spirit, an adventure in freedom and joy-and a voyage of discovery for those who strive to know the meaning of kindness and love.
"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. The dreamy seagull photographs by Russell Munson provide just the right illustrations--although the overall packaging does seem a bit dated (keep in mind that it was first published in 1970). Nonetheless, this is a spirituality classic, and an especially engaging parable for adolescents. --Gail Hudson
