Jonathan Livingston Siegel

Book •
Richard Bach's 'Jonathan Livingston Seagull' is a philosophical novella about a seagull named Jonathan who is bored with the mundane life of squabbling over food.

Jonathan dedicates himself to learning to fly, pushing his limits and striving for perfection in flight.

His pursuit of excellence leads to his exile from the flock, but he discovers a higher level of existence and teaches other seagulls to transcend their limitations.

The story explores themes of self-discovery, freedom, and the pursuit of higher goals beyond societal expectations.

Through Jonathan's journey, Bach encourages readers to challenge conventional thinking and seek their own unique paths.
