Book Description

Historia de una gaviota y del gato que le enseno a volar: Luis Sepulveda prometio a sus hijos escribir una historia sobre la forma como los humanos lesionamos la naturaleza y a nosotros mismos. Asi nacio esta historia, que cuenta las aventuras de Zorbas, un gato rande, negro y gordo, que recibe en custodia el huevo de una moribunda madre gaviota atrapada por una ola de petroleo. Zorbas, que es gato de palabra, cumplira sus dos promesas: no solo criara al polluelo, sino que le ensenara a volar. Los amigos de Zorbas, Secretario, Sabelotodo, Barlovento y Colonello, le ayudaran en esa tarea que no es tan facil como parece, menos para una banda de gatos mas acostumbrada a hacer frente a la dura vida en el puerto de Hamburgo que a ejercer de padres de una cria de gaviota.

5.0 out of 5 stars Only who attempt - can fly, January 29, 2003
By 
"emmabis" (Seattle, WA - USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Historia de una gaviota y del gato que le enseno a volar (Coleccion Andanzas) (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
A touching story of a baby seagull Fortunata - her mom died but before she entrusted her egg to ... a cat! The image of the city from the point of view of Zorba the cat, the honesty and faithfulness to the promises, the friendship - are described in a poetical language with nuances of humour.
This book gave me the desire to fly!

5.0 out of 5 stars Heart of a Child, November 14, 2002
By 
"titolugo" (Bayamon, PR United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Historia de una gaviota y del gato que le enseno a volar (Coleccion Andanzas) (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
Rarely we have the opportunity to read a simple written book with such a courageous and childish message embeded within the pages. Once again Luis Sepulveda has tell us that only he who wishes to fly can do so. Superation. Read the book, read it again and most importantly, read this small book to your children and grandchildren. They will certainly know what to do next.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spanish as second language, August 30, 2009
For the adult Spanish student it is difficult to find novels that are not too difficult nor too juvenile. The language is challenging and the story line is quite wonderful. Adult learners, this book is a must.
