      Jamie Forbes est pilote et instructeur de vol spécialisé dans les manoeuvres d'urgence délicates. Le sauvetage d'un avion en détresse, durant lequel il guide l'épouse du pilote inconscient afin de la faire atterrir en toute sécurité, lui rappelle un épisode enfoui de son passé. Perturbé par ces réminiscences, mais aussi par la rencontre de Dee, une hypnotiseuse pour qui les coïncidences n'existent pas, Forbes remet en question sa vision du monde: si la vie tout entière repose sur une série d'hypothèses acceptées comme réalités, alors peut-être suffit-il simplement de faire de meilleurs choix pour améliorer son existence? Ou comment les choix que l'on fait au quotidien peuvent bouleverser le cours d'une vie. Vole avec moi signe le retour à la fiction du célèbre Richard Bach et ravira les nombreux lecteurs de Jonathan Livingston le goéland.

      Le Messie Récalcitrant

      In the cloud-washed airspace between the cornfields of Illinois and blue infinity, a man puts his faith in the propeller of his biplane. For disillusioned writer and itinerant barnstormer Richard Bach, belief is as real as a full tank of gas and sparks firing in the cylinders...until he meets Donald Shimoda--former mechanic and self-described messiah who can make wrenches fly and Richard's imagination soar.... In Illusions, Richard Bach takes to the air to discover the ageless truths that give our souls wings: that people don't need airplanes to soar...that even the darkest clouds have meaning once we lift ourselves above them... and that messiahs can be found in the unlikeliest places--like hay fields, one-traffic-light midwestern towns, and most of all, deep within ourselves.

    • " Mes frères ! s'écria Jonathan. Mille années durant, nous avons joué des ailes et du bec pour ramasser des têtes de poisson, mais désormais nous avons une raison de vivre : apprendre, découvrir, être libres !" Jonathan Livingston n'est pas un goéland comme les autres. Ses parents, les autres membres de son clan, ne voient pas plus loin que le bout de leurs ailes. S'ils volent, c'est uniquement pour se nourrir. Jonathan, lui, vole pour son seul plaisir. Et en volant toujours plus haut, toujours plus vite, il sait qu'il découvrira un sens plus noble à la vie. Effrayés par son audace, ses semblables le rejettent. Mais Jonathan va se faire de nouveaux amis...

      In The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah , Richard Bach met Donald Shimoda, a fellow pilot with the keys to the universe who barnstormed the Midwest in a Travel Air biplane. Part of Shimoda’s secret was a small book, bound in what looked like Messiah’s Handbook, Reminders for the Advanced Soul . “Open it,” he said, “and whatever you need to know is there. ”Lost for decades and rediscovered, here it is in print at last—reminders for those who have outgrown cynicism and doubt.

    • 'What if we could talk face-to-face with the people we were in the past, with the people we are in parallel lifetimes, in alternate worlds? What would we tell them, and what would we ask? How would we change if we new what waits beyond space and time?' In a journey with his wife, Leslie, Richard Bach travels to a realm where survival depends on discovering what the other aspects of themselves have learned on roads they never took; where imagination and fear are tools for saving worlds and destroying them; where dying is one step to overcoming death. One is Bach's most startling story yet, opening a mystical door on an alternative path to finding ourselves.

      One of our best-loved writers, author of the phenomenal bestsellers "The Bridge Across Forever, One, Running from Safety," and Jonathan Livingston "Seagull," returns with a brilliantly conceived narrative about the nature of creativity. Bach's journey begins as he puzzles over design modifications for his airplane, a Piper Cub. Perfect designs--simple and practical--seem to come to him out of the blue. But one day when a design appears, along with a fleeting glimpse of an intriguing woman, Bach sets out to discover the source of the visions. The journey leads to a startling destination: a parallel universe where a British airplane manufacturer--Saunders-Vixen Aircraft Company Ltd.--makes superb biplanes and solves problems for perplexed aviators. There Bach meets Derek Hawthorne, his guide through Saunders-Vixen and the new world whose possibilities are just unfolding. There Bach also meets his muse, an unforgettable young aircraft designer named Laura Bristol, who teaches Bach the beauty of simplicity and practicality.

Nyní máte v rukou dlouho očekávanou ztracenou knihu z Iluzí. Návod k použití je jednoduchý: položte si otázku, zavřete oči, vyberte si pravou nebo levou stranu a otevřete knihu. Tato kniha, která se ztratila v Iluzích, znovu ožívá. Určitě si vzpomínáte na tajemnou příručku Donalda Shimody, která poskytovala odpovědi na jakékoli otázky.

Zdánlivě nic neobvyklého, jenomže náš Jonathan si ve svém ptačím mozečku klade otázku: “Proč?” Skrz pokusy a omyly přichází na to, že aby byl jeden šťastný, musí nejprve zjistit, co miluje nejvíce. Do této lásky je třeba se vrhnout hlava nehlava, s odvahou, vytrvalostí a maximální rozhodností. Člověk nesmí brat ohled na to, že odplatou za takové snažení je často zavržení a vyloučení z rodiny a společnosti přátel… ale byli to opravdoví přátelé?
