Book synopsis

Luis Sepúlveda, whom the Spanish-speaking public already knows well, has two very young children, whom he calls "my dwarfs" and whom he promised one day to write a story about how poorly we humans manage our own environment, damaging the nature, which gives us so many benefits, and in the process hurting ourselves without mercy. Thus was born Story of a seagull and the cat that taught him to fly, which tells the adventures of Zorbas, a "big, black and fat" cat, whose unbreakable sense of honor leads him one day to commit to raising a seagull chick. His mother, a beautiful seagull, trapped by a wave of oil spilled into the sea by a stranded ship, leaves Zorbas as a pledge, just before dying, the egg that he has just laid. Zorbas, who is a cat by word of mouth, will fulfill his two promises: he will not only raise the chick, but he will also teach it to fly. Zorbas's friends, Secretary, Know-it-all, Barlovento and Colonello, will help him in a task that, as will be seen, is not as easy as it seems, and even less so for a band of cats more accustomed to facing the harsh life in a port like that of Hamburg than to act as parents to a baby seagull...Initially intended as a story for "dwarves", Story of a Seagull and the Cat that Taught It to Fly is actually addressed to all those who, young or old, Not only do they enjoy well-told stories that stimulate imagination and ingenuity, but, at the same time, they learn to see the world from a different perspective, knowing it better and, therefore, loving and caring for it more intelligently.
