Jonathan Livingston Seagull (ISBN 0-380-01286-3), written by Richard Bach, is a fable in novella form about a seagull learning about life and flight, and a homily about self-perfection and self-sacrifice. First published in 1970 as “Jonathan Livingston Seagull — a story”, it became a favourite on American university campuses. By the end of 1972, over a million copies were in print, Reader’s Digest had published a condensed version, and the book reached the top of the New York Times bestseller list where it remained for 38 weeks. It is still in print as of 2006.

Jonathan Livingston Seagull was not a typical bestseller. Not only was it initially refused by more than 20 publishing companies(1), but also once it was finally picked up by Macmillan it made it to the top of the charts with almost no advertising budget. Richard Bach’s allegory about a Seagull who did not want to accept the limits imposed on him by nature and society became the number one best-selling novel of 1972 mainly by word of mouth. Initially nicknamed "Friede’s Folly" by publishing bigwigs(2) – after Eleanor Friede, the editor who talked her superiors into publishing it – Jonathan Livingston Seagull became the biggest surprise of the publishing industry. No one expected a book riddled with pictures and less than 100 pages long to rise to the most coveted spot on best-selling nonfiction and fiction lists. The short story contains less than 10,000 words, yet it broke all hardcover sales records since Gone with the Wind by selling more than 1,000,000 copies in 1972 alone(3). By 1972 the media picked up on the allure of this deceptively simple story, and Macmillan finally put money behind it. Jonathan Livingston Seagull became a cultural phenomenon of the 70’s, comparable to bell-bottoms and leisure suits. Collector’s editions, merchandise, and a film followed the novella’s burst onto the charts. It went on to sell more than 9 million copies in the first five years, and by 1992 the number totaled more than 30 million(4).

The timing could not have been more perfect for the rise of this type of a tale. Society was primed and ready for Jonathan’s particular style of rebellion and perfection thanks to the events preceding Jonathan’s publication. In the early 70’s the time was left for a bird who defied the rules. The 1960’s were a time of social and cultural change – to say the least. The decade preceding Jonathan’s popularity saw such amazing changes as The Civil Rights Movement, Women’s Liberation, sexual revolutions, and rock and roll. Everything that came out of this era contributed to the enthusiastic reception Jonathan received from the public. Bach’s hero’s refusal to conform to his society was a perfect allegorical counterpart to the refusal of the youth of the day to follow in their parents’ footsteps. The monotonous, self-denying lifestyle of Jonathan’s flock was so much like the lifestyle that abounded in the 1950’s that it made perfect sense that readers in the post-60's era would connect with it....
