– Den verden du kjenner er en illusjon, og det er følgelig også begrensningene dine. Det er i sitt eget møte med piloten Donald Shimoda, en tidligere mekaniker og noe utradisjonell frelser, at Richard Bach viser oss at den smale sti i virkeligheten er akkurat så brei som du vil den skal være. Det denne lille boken handler om er å sprenge grenser. Både ytre, fysiske grenser og grensene i ditt eget sinn; det er du, og bare du, som kan velge dem bort. Det befriende med Bach, det som skiller ham fra mengden av realiser-deg-selv-forfattere, er at han makter å formidle dette budskapet uten noen gang å falle for fristelsen å bli svulstig eller pompøs. "Argue for your limitations, and sure enough, they're yours." Enklere kan det ikke sies. Gjør vann til vin, eller, til flybensin, om dette er å foretrekke. Du kan hvis du vil.

THE INSPIRATIONAL, INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER, FROM THE AUTHOR OF JONATHAN LIVINGSTON SEAGULL
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...
THE INSPIRATIONAL, INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER, FROM THE AUTHOR OF JONATHAN LIVINGSTON SEAGULL
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, the unforgettable follow-up to his phenomenal New York Times bestseller Jonathan Livingston Seagull, 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.
