Night Flight
Penguin 1st Edition, 1939.
Inspired by his career as an aviator, Saint-Exupéry’s soaring novel follows the journeys of three pilots delivering mail overnight. The author’s beautiful, weightless prose is as haunting as his own disappearance in flight, eerily foreshadowed by his protagonist Fabien, who becomes lost in otherworldly darkness. Letter to a Hostage, Saint-Exupéry’s meditation on displacement and friendship, also explores solitude and questions the human condition.
Condition grading: Excellent Minus. Minor curling to top right front cover corner. Bright covers. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
