About This Book
"Now all grew luminous, his hands, his clothes, the wings, and Fabien thought
that he was in a limbo of strange magic; for the light did not come down from
the stars but welled up from below, from all that snowy whiteness." from Night
Flight
No writer has equalled Saint-Exupery in describing the perilous and poetic
experience of flying, in submission to what he calls "those elemental
divinities--night, day, mountain, sea and storm." In this gripping, beautifully
written novel, he tells about the brave men who pilot night mail planes from
Patagonia, Chile, and Paraguay to Argentina in the early days of commerical
aviation. They are impelled to perform their routine acts of heroism by a steely
chief named Riviere, whose extraordinary character is revealed through the
dramatic events of a single night.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery (1900-1944), best known as the author of The Little
Prince, was also a pioneer aviator. In 1944 he flew his plane over the
Mediterranean on a World War II reconnaissance mission from which he never
returned.
