Wind Sand and Stars

In 1926, de Saint-Exupery began flying for the pioneering airline Latecoere – later known as Aeropostale – opening up the first mail routes across the Sahara and the Andes. “Wind, Sand and Stars” is drawn from this experience. Interweaving encounters with nomadic Arabs and other adventures into a richly textured autobiographical narrative which includes the extraordinary story of his crash in the Libyan Desert in 1936, and his miraculous survival. `Self-discovery comes when a man measures himself against an obstacle`, writes Saint-Exupery. In this book, he explores the transcendent perceptions that arise when life is tested to its limits. Both a gripping tale of adventure and a poetic meditation.
