Meet the author
A pioneering aviator and decorated war hero, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry drew from his own perilous experiences as an early airmail pilot to craft his literary works. He flew treacherous routes over the Andes and the Sahara, facing isolation and the constant threat of disaster. This unique life as both a man of action and a profound thinker gave him an unparalleled perspective on courage, duty, and the spiritual struggles of humanity, all of which are masterfully explored in Night Flight.
