The National Book Award-winning autobiographical book about the wonder of flying from Antoine de Saint-Exup駻y, author of the beloved children's classic The Little Prince.

A National Geographic Top Ten Adventure Book of All Time

Translated by Lewis Galanti鑽e.

"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-Exup駻y."--The New York Times Book Review
