A pilot stranded in the

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.

Prince, presented here in a stunning new translation with carefully
restored artwork.

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.
