The National Book Award-winning autobiographical book about the
wonder of flying from Antoine de Saint-Exupery, author of the
beloved children's classic The Little Prince. A National Geographic
Top Ten Adventure Book of All Time Recipient of the Grand Prix of
the Academie Francaise, Wind, Sand and Stars captures the grandeur,
danger, and isolation of flight. Its exciting account of air
adventure, combined with lyrical prose and the spirit of a
philosopher, makes it one of the most popular works ever written
about flying. Translated by Lewis Galantiere. "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 renewel and expectation. No one
ever stood out more conspicuously in this respect than the French
aviator and author Antoine de Saint-Exupery."--The New York Times
