A moving, uplifting and life-enhancing story with a strong environmental theme, Luis Sepulveda's instant children's classic has been a worldwide best-seller and is presented here with new drawings by acclaimed illustrator Satoshi Kitamura.

Antonio Jose Bolivar Proano vive en El Idilio, un pueblo remoto en la region amazonica de los indios shuar (mal llamados jibaros), y con ellos aprendio a conocer la Selva y sus leyes, a respetar a los animales y los indigenas que la pueblan, pero tambien a cazar el temible tigrillo como ningun blanco jamas pudo hacerlo. Un buen dia decidio leer con pasion las novelas de amor -B+del verdadero, del que hace sufrirB; - que dos veces al ano le lleva el dentista Rubicundo Loachamin para distraer las solitarias noches ecuatoriales de su incipiente vejez. En ellas intenta alejarse un poco de la fanfarrona estupidez de esos codiciosos forasteros que creen dominar la Selva porque van armados hasta los dientes pero que no saben como enfrentarse a una fiera enloquecida porque le han matado las crias. Descritas en un lenguaje cristalino, escueto y preciso, las aventuras y las emociones del viejo Bolivar Proano dificilmente abandonaran nuestra memoria.

Luis Sepulveda, a quien el publico de lengua espanola ya conoce bien, tiene dos hijos muy jovenes, a quienes llama B+mis enanosB; y a quienes prometio un dia escribir una historia acerca de lo mal que gestionamos los humanos nuestro propio entorno, lesionando la naturaleza, que nos brinda tantos bienes, y de paso autolesionandonos sin piedad. Asi nacio Historia de una gaviota y del gato que le enseno a volar, que cuenta las aventuras de Zorbas, un gato B+grande, negro y gordoB; , cuyo inquebrantable sentido del honor le conduce un dia a comprometerse a criar un polluelo de gaviota. Su madre, una hermosa gaviota, atrapada por una ola de petroleo vertido en el mar por un buque varado, le deja en prenda a Zorbas, justo antes de morir, el huevo que acaba de poner. 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 una tarea que, como se vera, no es tan facil como parece, y menos para una banda de gatos mas acostumbrados a hacer frente a la dura vida en un puerto como el de Hamburgo que a hacer de padres de una cria de gaviota. . . Pensada en principio como un cuento para B+enanosB; , Historia de una gaviota y del gato que le enseno a volar se dirige en realidad a todos aquellos que, chicos o mayores, no solo disfrutan con las historias bien contadas que estimulan la imaginacion y el ingenio, sino que, a la vez, aprenden a ver el mundo bajo una optica distinta, conociendolo mejor y, por lo tanto, amandolo y cuidandolo con mas inteligencia.
