About This Item
Used/Fiction. Book is in good condition, with clean pages free of tears and marks. Pages are yellowed due to age, and front cover has bending and chipping at the edges.
Synopsis: 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.
Synopsis
This is Bach's follow-up to Jonathan Livingston Seagull. Flight still plays a role, but this time it's people in airplanes. It's a somewhat lighthearted philosophical piece that was cutting edge at the time and still holds up pretty well. We're all children of god, and the material world is illusion.
