About the book

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's Wind, Sand and Stars is a lyrical memoir of his experiences as a pioneering aviator during the early days of commercial flight. Flying mail routes across the Sahara and the Andes, Saint-Exupéry faced dangerous weather, mechanical failure and extreme isolation. His reflections move far beyond aviation, considering friendship, courage, responsibility and the meaning people find in difficult circumstances. Beautifully written and deeply philosophical, it is one of the classics of twentieth-century travel and aviation literature.
