A National Geographic Top Ten Adventure Book of All Time
Named among National Geographic's Top Ten Adventure Books of All Time.
Flight as adventure and reflection
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s autobiographical account brings aviation into the realm of exploration, where flight is bound up with danger, isolation, and encounters with vast landscapes. The book’s subject is not simply the mechanics of flying: it also considers what air travel reveals about human experience. Its combination of personal aviation narrative and reflective perspective gives the account a broader scope than an adventure chronicle alone. The edition is translated by Lewis Galantière.
