Description
Night Flight
In 1936, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry took to the skies as an airmail pilot in Argentina. Under pressure from his boss, he attempted a perilous flight during a heavy night-time thunderstorm. As conditions worsened and radio communication with Saint-Exupéry became increasingly difficult, his boss began to question his uncompromising methods. The consequences of this flight were devastating, leading to feelings of guilt that would haunt Saint-Exupéry for years to come. This book is a haunting and lyrical examination of duty, destiny, and the individual, as well as an authentic portrayal of the early days of human air travel. With its unique blend of drama and introspection, Night Flight offers a powerful exploration of the human condition.Related Products
