Later, he returns to his flock to teach the ambitious among them what he knows. In Part I, he defies his parents and spends all his time practicing flying. He repudiates their belief that a seagull's sole purpose is to eat and instead studies the mechanics of flight. He's banished because of this. In Part II, he reaches a higher plane of existence, where he studies with the elder gull Chiang, who teaches him the secrets to "perfect speed." In Part III, he returns to his flock to teach them what he has learned. A classic story of flight and self-improvement. A clean very presentable copy.

"Richard Bach with this book does two things. He gives me Flight. He makes me Young. For both I am deeply grateful." - Ray Bradbury, from the inner front jacket flap. "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: they'll be with Jonathan Seagull all the way. Others may simply escape into a delightful adventure about freedom and flight. Either way it's an uncommon treat." - from the inner front jacket flap.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Stoliar, Joan (book and jacket design) (illustrator). Fine condition beige cloth boards with front cover embossed feather decoration and gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes Preliminary Page Author Prologue; List of Other Books by Richard Bach and Epilogue. "Here is a test to find whether your mission on earth is finished: If you're alive, it isn't" - from the rear outer jacket. "Richard Bach's first new book since Jonathan Seagull is a lighthearted mystical adventure story about two barn-storming vagabonds who meet in the fields of midwest America because each is doing what he really wants to do. If that sounds like where Jonathan left off, it could be true: the connection is only that Illusions reflects what has been going on in the author's head since the phenomenal success that changed his life. For Bach, Jonathan is a nonfiction book. " The ideas behind the words are simple ones that work in everyday life: find what we most want to do; do it, no matter what; and in the doing be guaranteed a very difficult and a very happy lifetime." Illusions is the companion story. "What if somebody came along who could teach me how my world works and how to control it? What if I could meet a super-advanced . what if a Siddhartha or a Jesus came into our time, with power over the illusions of the world because he knew the reality behind them? And what if I could meet him in person, if he were flying a biplane, for instance, and landed in the same meadow with me?" From such thoughts - this huge "What if ." - comes Illusions and the fun and constantly mind-whirling dialogue between a guy named Richard and a real Messiah who quit. The book will mean different things to different people . an entertaining story of miracles on the flickering screen of this world . a startling book about reality and the appearance of reality . a look at the way many of us could live, and the way some of us do. It is a book to challenge and perhaps change your life." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
