Wind, Sand and Stars by Antoine de Saint-Exupery - A wonderful read and a remarkable work of literature

Recipient of the Grand Prix of the Académie Française, 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 Galantière.

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 appreciation for his profession, its place in European culture and was captivated all the while. I would highly recommend Wind, Sand and Stars for both young and old.
