About the author

Since Jonathan Livingston Seagull - which dominated the #1 spot on the New York Times Bestseller List for two consecutive years - Richard Bach has touched millions of people through his humor, wisdom and insight.

With over 60 million copies of his books sold, Richard Bach remains one of the world's most beloved authors. A former USAF fighter pilot, Air Force captain and latter-day barnstorming pilot, Bach continues to be an avid aviator-author, exploring and chronicling the joys and freedom of flying, reporting his findings to readers.

His most recent works include Travels with Puff, which recounts Bach's journey from Florida to Washington state in his small seaplane, Puff, and Illusions II: The Adventures of a Reluctant Student, which incorporates Bach's real-life plane crash.

In October 2014, the never-before-published Part Four to Jonathan Livingston Seagull was published.

2.5/5

Havada süzülmeyi özleyen bir ruhun, tanrının lütfu ve meleklerin yardımıyla o büyülü maviliğe yükselmenin ve orada kalmanın bir yolunu mutlaka bulacağını biliyordu.

Richard Bach okumaya devam ediyorum. Sıradaki kitap olarak Gelincik Güncesini seçmiştim ve yılın son kitaplarından biri oldu. Aslında tam olarak adında belirttiği gibi gökyüzündeki havacı gelincikler hakkında. Bach, gelinciklerin uçmayı öğrendiği bir dünyayı düşleyerek bu kitabı kaleme almış ve kendi yaptığı çizimlerle de hikayeyi renklendirmiş. Fazlasıyla tatlı bir başlangıca sahip ve her kitabında olduğu gibi havacılığa olan tutkusunu kolaylıkla görmek mümkün. Ancak Martı Jonathan Livingston kadar sevemedim. Ortalarından itibaren sanki bir türlü akmıyormuş gibi hissettirdi ki kısacık bir kitap olmasından dolayı bu beni şaşırttı. Hoş yanları vardı, gelinciklerin uçak kullanması fikri bile fazlasıyla ilgi farklı. Kitapta neredeyse her cümle sonrası paragraf başı verilmesi de beni okurken yordu. Bu kitap seri başlangıcıymış ancak devamını pek merak etmediğimden okumayacağım. Fena bir kitap değildi, gerçekten kitabın başından büyük bir keyif aldım ama keşke devamını da sevebilseydim.

Bach sin duda está colmado de pasión por la aviación, y también por la vida y la espiritualidad. Este me gustó más que el primero. Sin duda es más técnico y más amplio que el de los hurones en el Mar. Me recuerda mucho a su libro UNO, pues nos da pinceladas de los mismos escenarios y conceptos.

Encontrar tu pasión y hacerla posible es una manera de decir que triunfamos en la vida, pero compartir eso con los demás y ayudar a otros es parte de cumplir nuestra misión en la vida. El amor, la ternura, la vida y la esperanza inundan estas páginas. Un libro dulce para aprender sobre nosotros mismos. Es para chicos entre 12 a 14 años diría yo.

Hermoso libro...

A very heart-warming story once you get past the aviation jargon.

Al igual que la anterior Crónica de los Hurones, nos encontramos con una historia corta, muy fácil de leer y que nos hará sonreír durante todo el tiempo.
Con esta historia nos acercamos de una manera muy divertida al amor y al poder que puede llegar a ejercer sobre el resto del mundo.
Una historia que puedes leer en cualquier momento plagada de sentimientos y valores.

Love wins!

I'm a Bach fan, but it took me a while to find the ferret books. I love this one, which is ostensibly about flying, but really about the endurance of love. Well worth reading.

This is 4 or 5 stars for message and intentions, but the delivery... Well, it's a little rough. Not the usual Richard Bach calibre!

Another sweet little story. I actually thought the pacing was fantastic, really put you in the shoes of the characters. I like how this series is laid out. Reminds me of the Wire with each entry being about a different element of the Ferret World.

Simply love it. Short, gentle stories full of wisdom, love and happiness. Written with intelligence and profound sense of humour. The best choice for your kits :)
