Night Flight

Autor Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 mar 1974
From the author of the world renowned masterpiece The Little Prince, Saint-Exupery’s novel Night Flight is similarly magical in its telling of the miracle of flight.

In this gripping novel, Saint-Exupéry tells about the brave men who piloted night mail planes from Patagonia, Chile, and Paraguay to Argentina in the early days of commercial aviation.
Preface by André Gide. Translated by Stuart Gilbert.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Under the pressure of his boss, the intransigent Rivière, the airmail pilot Fabien attempts a perilous flight during a heavy night-time thunderstorm in Argentina. As conditions get worse and the radio communication with Fabien becomes increasingly difficult, Rivière begins to question his uncompromising methods, and his distress turns to guilt when the pilot's wife comes to find him in search of answers.

Based on Saint-Exupéry's own experiences as a commercial pilot, Night Flight is a haunting and lyrical examination of duty, destiny and the individual, as well as an authentic and tragic portrayal of the intrepid early days of human air travel.

Recenzii

What gives this book an authentic and inimitable flavour is the personal confrontation with a recurrent peril. Quite aside from its literary merits, which I much admire, this book is valuable as a document; and it is the unusual combination of these two qualities which makes Night Flight so exceptionally important.
