What this book is about
Jonathan Livingston Seagull refuses to spend his life fighting over scraps on the beach. He wants to fly — to push the limits of what a seagull can do. Expelled from his flock, he practices alone until he transcends physical laws entirely and discovers that the purpose of life is to seek perfection. Richard Bach's slim parable became one of the best-selling books of the 1970s — a simple story about following your own path that resonates far beyond its seagull surface.
