The Story of a Seagull and the Cat Who Taught Her to Fly

This is the story of Zorbas, a big, black, fat cat. One day, a beautiful seagull caught in a black tide of oil entrusts him, moments before dying, with the egg she had just laid.

Zorbas, who is a cat of his word, will keep the two promises he is forced to make at that dramatic moment: not only will he raise the little seagull, but he will also teach her to fly. All of this with the help of his friends Secretary, Know-it-all, Windward, and Colonello, since, as will be seen, the task is not easy, especially for a gang of cats more accustomed to facing the hard life of a port like Hamburg than to acting as parents to a seagull chick…

With the grace of a fable and the power of a parable, Luis Sepúlveda offers us in this now classic book a message of hope of the highest literary and poetic value.
