Born on this day – Antoine de Saint-Exupéry:

Anthony by Saint-Exupéry

Writer

Aviator

June 29, 1900 – July 31, 1944

Wind, Sand And Stars

by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1939).

ISBN-10: 0156027496

ISBN-13: 978-0156027496

Description:

“There are certain rare individuals … who by the mere fact of their existence put an edge on life, their ceaseless astonishment before its possibilities awakening our own latent sense of renewal and expectation. No one ever stood out more conspicuously in this respect than the French aviator and author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.” The New York Times Book Review.

Translated by Lewis Galantière.

Recipient of the Grand Prix of the Académe Francaise, Wind, Sand and Stars is unsurpassed in capturing the grandeur, danger, and isolation of flight. Its exciting account of air adventure – through the treacherous passes of the Pyrenees, above the Sahara, along the snowy ramparts of the Andes – combined with the lyrical prose and soaring spirit of a philosopher, make this book one of the most popular works ever written about flying.

While flying for his air squadron, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900–1944) disappeared over the Mediterranean a year after writing his most famous book, The Little Prince. He was also the author of Night Flight and Wartime Writings.

The Little Prince

by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1943).

ISBN-10: 0156012197

ISBN-13: 978-0156012195

Description:

A pilot stranded in the desert awakes one morning to see, standing before him, the most extraordinary little fellow. “Please,” asks the stranger, “draw me a sheep.” And the pilot realizes that when life’s events are too difficult to understand, there is no choice but to succumb to their mysteries. He pulls out pencil and paper…. And thus begins this wise and enchanting fable that, in teaching the secret of what is really important in life, has changed forever the world for its readers.

Few stories are as widely read and as universally cherished by children and adults alike as The Little Prince, presented here in a stunning new translation with carefully restored artwork.

The definitive edition of a worldwide classic, it will capture the hearts of readers of all ages.
