Product Description

Recipient of the Grand Prix of the Acadmie Franaise, Wind, Sand and Stars captures the grandeur, danger, and isolation of flight. Its exciting account of air adventure, combined with lyrical prose and the spirit of a philosopher, makes it one of the most popular works ever written about flying. Translated by Lewis Galantire.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A classic of aviation and adventure literature, Jui 16 2004
Par Un client
This review is from: Wind, Sand and Stars (Hardcover)
An absolutely brilliant work. Keep in mind that many of the bad reviews here were for a different version/translation of this book. This one is almost twice as long and sticks far better to the author's orginal work.

This collection of stories is the perfect bedtime reading. You can finish off each story in an hour or so and drift to sleep with dreams of adventure and travel. The author relates the early days of air travel, when the pilots were quite often taking their lives in their own hands each time they took flight. Crash landings in the Sahara were part of job, and rather commonplace for those daring pilots that dared to carry mail and supplies over the great desert.

The author writes in a simple and magical prose that carries all readers to the co-pilot seat on these amazing true adventures.

It is rare to find an individual who lived such an amazing life as Saint-Exupery, and rarer still to find one who could write about their experiences with such clarity, beauty and detail.

Highly recommended. A great treasure of literature.

1.0étoiles sur 5 For adolescent romantics, Déc 3 2003
Par O. Lund (Winona,, MN USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Wind, Sand and Stars (Hardcover)
Perhaps the translation was bad? After all, the book won a big prize in France. But for me the prose was pedestrian when not purple. The tone was basically puffery for being a pilot. This is the sort of book that would likely excite a schoolboy or girl who is full of romance for adventure. But not for the mature.

5.0étoiles sur 5 I loved it., Fév 23 2003
Par "nickhull" (Elora, Ontario Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Wind, Sand and Stars (Hardcover)
It was sometimes slow, sometimes pretentious and not a very long book at all. I don't really know what I liked about it...
It's just one of those warm fuzzy feeling books i guess.
A view of the world from an author who loved life and felt pity for those who couldn't. He was a good story teller. He had a childish romantic view of the world which is part of the charm.
I think if you can't identify with him, then you won't like the story.
