Beautiful
This is a fabulous collection of mostly letters written to and by Saint-Exupery during World War II. You really get to see the man in conflict, and how brave someone can truly be.

Night Flight

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Stuart Gilbert

Harvest Books, 1974

A most evocative book
This is an epic narrative of a single evening in the Argentine night mail service. The chief character is the air manager, with peripheral characters being pilots, pilots' wives, and other personnel. Without spoiling the plot, an unexpected crisis occurs in the way of a trans-Andean storm, and the pace quickens to unforgettable climax. But read the book. It's short, and not so much as ...

Harvest Books, 1972

Ethereal prose poet
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 ...

A wonderful read and a remarkable work of literature
I recently read Exupery's Wind, Sand and Stars for a survey course in world literature. Initially, I was concerned that my lack of interest and background in aviation might limit my enjoyment of the book. However, that was not at all the case. Saint-Exupery masterfully brings to life the excitement of aviation and the craft of piloting. Through his series of essays, I gained a great deal of ...

A great book for anyone to share with friends.
I was exposed to St. Ex in the ninth grade by my French teacher. He had us read the "Little Prince". My dream was to be a pilot and I could relate to the story. Going through college I read other books by St. Ex. and have been a fan ever since. I am a pilot and his writing touch the heart and soul of the reader. Both from physical experience and from spiritual wanderings. One could call ...

Saint-Exupery: A Biography

Stacy Schiff

Holt Paperbacks, 2006

Heavenly book!
Schiff's book is one of the best biographies I've ever read. Extremely well written and well researched, Schiff introduces us to a man and his adventures -in many ways an ordinary man, suffering from emotional and physical aches and pains and in many ways almost an ethereal being, filled with a capacity to write about the air, the desert, and the act of flying through and over both.

Flight To Arras
Antoine De Saint Exupery

Thomson Press, 2008

FLIGHT TO ARRAS. SURELY I must be dreaming. It is as if I were fifteen again. I am back at school. My mind is on my geometry problem. Leaning over the worn black desk, I work away dutifully with compass and ruler and protractor. I am quiet and industrious. Near by sit some of my schoolmates, talking in murmurs. One of them stands at a blackboard chalking up figures. Others less studious are playing bridge. Out of-doors I see the branch of a ...

Amereon Ltd, 2003

Saint-Exupery's greatest book
"The Wisdom of the Sands" is a collection of Saint-Exupery's very personal reflections published posthumously as a series of parables. The rhythm of his lonely, compassionate, and mystical voice in this work enraptured me. The work concludes with the most profound and moving essay on friendship that I have ever read, one that far transcends his well-known fable "The Little Prince." His ...

AN AFFECTING LEGACY
Just a short time ago newspapers around the world announced that pieces of Antoine de Saint Exupery's missing plane were found in the Mediterranean Sea. It has been some 60 years since he vanished while carrying out a wartime mission. Many in France consider this author/aviator to be a national hero. All who read his classic story, The Little Prince, have been intrigued by him. Now, thanks to ...

Little Prince speaks to the child in me
I was an adult when i read this book, and i really appreciated the lessons in life that Saint-Exupery shares through the Little Prince. A great book, full of beautiful illustrations, easy to read, while fun and sad at the same time. I personally read it as if Exupery is sharing with us the conversations he has with his own inner child, in the image of the Little Prince. That is why the ...
