Synopsis

Both a gripping tale of adventure and a poetic meditation, antoine de saint exupéry's wind, sand and stars is the lyrical autobiography of an aviation pioneer, from the author of the little prince. This penguin modern classics edition is translated from the french with an introduction by william rees. In 1926 de saint-exupéry began flying for the pioneering airline latécoère - later known as aéropostale - opening up the first mail routes across the sahara and the andes.
