Storia di una gabbianella e del gatto che le insegnò a volare is a touching story by Chilean writer Luis Sepúlveda. In this work, a seagull, after being the victim of an oil spill, entrusts her last egg to a cat named Zorba. The cat promises to take care of the egg, protect the chick, and, most difficult of all, teach it to fly. Through this peculiar friendship, Sepúlveda explores themes such as love of nature, generosity, and solidarity between different beings.
