In his first novel, Saint-ExupÉry pays homage to “those elemental divinities-night, day, mountain, sea, and storm,” turning an account of a routine mail flight from France to North Africa into an epic rendering of the pioneer days of commercial aviation.

From the Back Cover:
"Certainly no one else has come even close to Saint-Exupery, not only in recapturing the detailed sensations of flight by air, but also--and more importantly--in transforming them into something convincingly poetic." -- The New York Times Book Review
