Jonathan Livingston Seagull

By Richard Bach

Categories: Literature & Fiction

Richard Bach's allegorical fable, first published in book form in 1970 and illustrated with Russell Munson's photographs, follows a seagull who cares more about flying than about food. Jonathan practices endlessly to fly higher and faster, though his flock rejects him for breaking its rules. His pursuit becomes a story about learning, freedom and self-realization. This edition includes the rediscovered fourth part that was added when the book was reissued in 2014 as The Complete Edition.
