Unlike his new peers, however, Jonathan chooses to return to the mundane world to teach others to follow in his path. But he suffers terribly in the course of his journey of self-discovery: both physical trauma from the stresses he puts on his body and ostracism from the Flock, who cannot begin to understand the idea of a seagull who just wants to fly.ĭying on the wing after a long life of isolation, Jonathan ascends to a higher level of spiritual existence, where he discovers that he's not the first to have done so. It is a fable about a seagull who dreams of more than a dreary day-to-day life of squabbling for food, and teaches himself to fly farther and faster than any bird could imagine. Jonathan Livingston Seagull is a 1970 novella by Richard Bach.
