谢谢。这部故事的电影版好像是1973年拍的，貌似看到土豆上有。不过我没去打开来看，主要是我这儿看土豆，很多时候卡的厉害。

天使不会飞 发表于 2013-7-14 10:14 适合什么程度的孩子阅读？ 有音频吗？

Young Adult (YA)，青少年阶段吧，网上说的年龄段大概是18至22岁这个阶层。 不知道你家孩子多大了？ 还是打算自己看呢？ 音频，看到网上有人说有。 我看了看amazon的信息，似乎是卡带版，是未删节版，看来挺久了。 还有一个是CD版，是删节版的。应该有的卖。 如果你有兴趣，不妨网上搜索一下看看哪儿能买到。 要是找到哪儿能买到，记得回来说说，也方便其他想买的坛友。

真的很美……

《海鸥乔纳森》（英语：Jonathan Livingston Seagull）是美国作家理查德·巴赫所创作的寓言性小说，于1970年出版，并在美国创下出色的销售纪录。 乔纳森是一只特殊的海鸥，他有一般的身体，但是拥有与一般海鸥不同的热爱飞翔的精神。飞翔应该不仅仅是往返码头、挣一点面包屑、小鱼虾果腹的手段，乔纳森花大量的时间练习高超的飞翔技艺。 掌握高超技艺的乔纳森以为他的族群会欢迎他，但是他的鸥族因为他的特立独行驱逐了乔纳森。 鸥生际遇，乔纳森孤独的练习飞行不久，由两只卓越的海鸥将他引入新的世界，那里，所有的海鸥都来自愚昧的地球，都拥有卓尔不凡的、热爱飞翔的心。在那里乔纳森找到归属、日益精进。 乔奉行导师在离开世界以前的教诲往更高的境界、爱的境界去实践。他回到他原来的世界，去引导和他一样的其他海鸥，帮助他们发现自己天生的卓越；帮助他们超越后天的、加诸自身的限制。 文末，乔离开此处前往他乡，乔的徒弟以一样的心态，继续他的伟业。作者传达出明确的信息：这只是一个开始。 ..

.. 242 of 258 people found the following review helpful 4.0 out of 5 stars A short book with great meaning April 27, 2005 By Lisa Shea HALL OF FAMETOP 100 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE Format : Paperback It's really amazing that this book, published in 1970, got onto the top sellers of all time list. It is barely 127 pages long - and that includes many pages of seagull photos, with very few words per page. The margins are very large It's a story about a seagull who, unlike his comrades, is not happy yelling "Mine! Mine! Mine!" for food. He loves to soar, and fly. He faces rejection and ridicule for his quest for greater heights. And of course, he inspires all of us to reach for our goals. So first, obviously this book is REALLY short. I just re-read it and, without racing at all, I was done in 16 minutes. It's very short. There aren't long, drawn out characterizations here. Jonathan learns to fly well in about 2 pages, and by page 31 he is fully aware of all of his skills. By page 57 he in "Heaven" - or at least in another stage of life in with like-minded seagulls, speaking with telepathy. Chiang is the elder there who tells Jonathan that there actually is no Heaven - that Heaven is the state of being perfect. Jonathan decides to return to Earth and help others. He spends a few pages teaching Fletcher his skills, and then vanishes, leaving Fletcher to teach the new seagull students how to fly. The story ends. Really, the story here is that Jonathan and Fletcher were not "special" in any way. The point is made many times that they were seagulls like any others. The difference is that they chose to strive to better themselves. They were not content to merely eat and sleep. They wanted to become really good at what they could do - fly. The elders explain that for many people, this process takes many lifetimes. If you do well in a given life, you graduate to a "higher" life where you can then work with people on your next stage of progress. If you just get by in your current life, then you get reborn into that same level, to have another chance to strive. So it's very interesting how different people have interpreted this book to be a religious tome. Christians often say that Jonathan stands for Jesus. He was born "with men" - he learns his special skills, and then he returns to earth to help guide mankind to be better. There's even a mob scene where the "normal seagulls" try to kill Jonathan for being different. On the other hand, the story clearly says there is no Heaven - that the point of life is to keep trying and trying until you figure out your own path to perfection. The reincarnation and perfection-from-within is very Buddhist. It's not an external God that gives you this perfection. You are born with the innate ability to attain perfection - but it is up to you to find the desire and take the steps to reach it. I've owned this book for many years and do enjoy it. But I do have to say that it is REALLY short and really basic. The whole Jonathan evolution is barely touched on. You don't get much sense of growth as he instantly goes from normal seagull to glowing Special Seagull. This is sort of a theological primer for those who don't normally read books on philosophy. There are many, many books out there that get into these sorts of topics in a far more meaningful way. But on the other hand, much as the Matrix series got many non-philosophy students to learn about some pretty basic philosophical ideas, this book also opened the door for many people on the ideas of striving for inner perfection. If you handed all of these people a complex tome on the topic, they probably wouldn't have read it. But maybe by getting that door opened, and that interest piqued, they then went forward and learned more. You have to get that interest started somewhere. If the interest came from a super-short, super easy to read, picture-filled booklet, does it really matter? On a personal note, I really do feel that people need to sit back and consider what they spend their hours each day doing. We only have one life - and most of us who can afford to buy books have an amazing wealth of luck that 90% of the world's population dreams of having. We have clothes, we have places to sleep, we have access to healthy food and water. It would be a wonderful thing if each of us spent even a portion of our day reaching out to help others, to help the world become a better place for us all to live in. We don't need to watch TV - there are other far more important things to do in life. ..
