JONATHAN LIVINGSTON SEAGULL

The narrative follows Jonathan Livingston Seagull, a bird who becomes disillusioned with the daily struggle for food and the conformity of his flock.

Ed entrambe quella mattina erano ricoperte di foglie che nessun passo aveva annerito oh, mi riservai la prima per un altro giorno anche se, sapendo che una strada conduce verso un'altra, dubitavo che sarei mai tornato indietro. Lo racconterò con un sospiro da qualche parte tra molti anni: due strade divergevano in un bosco ed io - io presi la meno battuta, e questo ha fatto tutta la differenza.”
