This is a story for people who follow their hearts and make their own rules...people who get special pleasure out of doing something well, even if only for themselves...people who know there's more to this living than meets the eye: they’ll be right there with Jonathan, flying higher and faster than ever they dreamed. Jonathan Livingston Seagull is no ordinary bird. He believes it is every gull's right to fly, to reach the ultimate freedom of challenge and discovery, finding his greatest reward in teaching younger gulls the joy of flight and the power of dreams. The special 20th anniversary release of this spiritual classic!]]> Wed, 14 Sep 1977 21:47:48 +0300 Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah https://science.library.land/richard-bach/34088-illusions_the_adventures_of_a_reluctant_messiah.html https://science.library.land/richard-bach/34088-illusions_the_adventures_of_a_reluctant_messiah.html

Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah

In the cloud-washed airspace between the cornfields of Illinois and blue infinity, a man puts his faith in the propeller of his biplane. For disillusioned writer and itinerant barnstormer Richard Bach, belief is as real as a full tank of gas and sparks firing in the cylinders...until he meets Donald Shimoda--former mechanic and self-described messiah who can make wrenches fly and Richard's imagination soar.... In Illusions, Richard Bach takes to the air to discover the ageless truths that give our souls wings: that people don't need airplanes to soar...that even the darkest clouds have meaning once we lift ourselves above them... and that messiahs can be found in the unlikeliest places--like hay fields, one-traffic-light midwestern towns, and most of all, deep within ourselves.]]> Thu, 15 Sep 1977 16:32:01 +0300 Hypnotizing Maria: A Story https://science.library.land/richard-bach/34092-hypnotizing_maria_a_story.html https://science.library.land/richard-bach/34092-hypnotizing_maria_a_story.html

Flight instructor Jamie Forbes guides a woman to landing her plane safely after her husband loses consciousness, then flies on to his own destination unimpressed by his act...flight instructors guide students every day. Only after she tells reporters that a stranger appeared in an airplane alongside hers and hypnotized her into landing, and after he meets his own guiding stranger does he solve the bigger mystery: how each of us creates, step by step, what seems to be the solid world around us. The best mysteries are the ones whose answers lie in front of us, in plain sight. The best solutions are those moments when all of a sudden we realize what we've known all along.]]> Tue, 15 Sep 2009 16:32:01 +0300 Biplane https://science.library.land/richard-bach/34085-biplane.html https://science.library.land/richard-bach/34085-biplane.html Biplane

"Finding Ourselves is Like Flying An Ancient Biplane Coast To Coast: There Are Storms Ahead, But Oonce We've Started, It's Too Late To turn Back."

"Biplane" is the story of that solo flight into the American skies -- a flight that became a personal quest to discover everything that lies beyond the ordinary.]]> Wed, 14 Sep 1977 21:47:48 +0300 Stranger to the Ground https://science.library.land/richard-bach/34089-stranger_to_the_ground.html https://science.library.land/richard-bach/34089-stranger_to_the_ground.html

SUMMARY: Bestselling author Richard Bach explores the meaning of fate and soul mates in this modern-day fairytale based on his real-life relationship with actor Leslie Parrish. "This is a story about a knight who was dying, and the princess who saved his life," Bach writes in his opening greeting. "It's a story about beauty and beasts and spells and fortresses, about death-powers that seem and life-powers that are." Yes, it is all that, and more. On the earthly plane this is about the riveting love affair between two fully human people who are willing to explore time travel and other dimensions together even as they grapple with the earthly struggles of intimacy, commitment, smothering, and whose turn it is to cook. Their love affair and happy ending inspired many enthusiastic fans. Years later, some of these fans were devastated to discover that this match made in heaven didn't manage to stick (the couple are no longer together). But in an Amazon interview, Bach explains that lovers don't have to stay married forever to be lifetime soul mates. Read this as a lesson about love's enchantments and possibilities, but don't count on this book to keep you and your mate on the bridge across forever. --Gail Hudson]]> Thu, 15 Jul 2010 09:30:38 +0300 The Bridge Across Forever: A True Love Story https://science.library.land/richard-bach/34090-the_bridge_across_forever_a_true_love_story.html https://science.library.land/richard-bach/34090-the_bridge_across_forever_a_true_love_story.html

The Bridge Across Forever: A True Love Story

More than one year on the New York Times bestseller list! Richard Bach's timeless and uplifting classic of hope and love "We're the bridge across forever, arching above the sea, adventuring for our pleasure, living mysteries for the fun of it, choosing disasters triumphs challenges impossible odds, testing ourselves over and again, learning love and love and love!" "The opposite of loneliness, it's not togetherness. It is intimacy." "Look in a mirror and one thing's sure: what we see is not who we are." "Next to God, love is the word most mangled in every language. The highest form of regard between two people is friendship, and when love enters, friendship dies." "There are no mistakes. The events we bring upon ourselves, no matter how unpleasant, are necessary in order to learn what we need to learn; whatever steps we take, they're necessary to reach the places we've chosen to go."]]> Wed, 15 Sep 1982 16:32:01 +0400 Thank Your Wicked Parents: Blessings from a Difficult Childhood https://science.library.land/richard-bach/671010-thank_your_wicked_parents_blessings_from_a_difficult_childhood.html https://science.library.land/richard-bach/671010-thank_your_wicked_parents_blessings_from_a_difficult_childhood.html
