«Storia di una gabbianella e del gatto che le insegnò a volare» is the fable by Luis Sepúlveda published by Guanda in paperback (125 pages, in Italian).
A dying seagull, victim of an oil slick, leaves her last egg to the cat Zorba and extracts three promises from him: not to eat it, to care for it, and to teach the chick that hatches to fly. Zorba, with the feline community of Hamburg harbour, will have to find a way to keep the most difficult one, even with the help of a human.
Originally published in Spanish as «Historia de una gaviota y del gato que le enseñó a volar» (1996); this Italian edition from Guanda appeared in 2002.
