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. 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. "Wind, Sand and Stars" is drawn from this experience.
In this book, he explores the transcendent perceptions that arise when life is tested to its limits. 'Self-discovery comes when a man measures himself against an obstacle', writes Saint-Exupery. Both a gripping tale of adventure and a poetic meditation.
