Product Details

Product Description

Product Description

In his first novel, Saint-Exupry pays homage to those elemental divinities-night, day, mountain, sea, and storm, turning an account of a routine mail flight from France to North Africa into an epic rendering of the pioneer days of commercial aviation. The book is also a poignant reminiscence of a tragic affair, in which the uncertainties of love and flight enhance the mystery of one another. Translated by Curtis Cate.

About the Author

ANTOINE DE SAINT-EXUPERY (1900-1944) was born in Lyons, France. He took his first flight at the age of eleven and became a pilot at twenty-six. A pioneer of commercial aviation, he flew in the Spanish Civil War and World War II. His internationally celebrated writings include The Little Prince; Wind, Sand and Stars; Night Flight; Southern Mail; and Airmans Odyssey.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ethereal prose poet, Nov 3 2001
By Nanci "Book Dragon" (Tri-Cities, WA USA) - See all my reviews
I, like many, was first introduced to St. Exupery by "The Little Prince"; however, I went on to explore his other books (Wind, Sand and Stars) and fell in love with his poetic style of writing, his passion for flight, and his vivid descriptions of the Sahara. His life ended all too soon, insisting on flying in the War, even when he was turned down several times for his age. He died flying at the age of 44. His writing lives on, and if you read just the first page, you will know that this is one of the most talented and excellent writers you will ever read.
