General Notes | "Based on the true story of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, author of The Little Prince"--Cover. Translated from the Spanish under the title A cielo abierto. |
Summary | In the 1920s, long before he wrote The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry was an accomplished pilot. Along with Jean Mermoz and Henri Guillaumet, he was chosen to pioneer new mail routes across the globe. No distance was too far and no mountain too high--each letter had to reach its destination. The three friends soared through the air, while a world torn apart by wars and political factions awaited them back on solid ground. This is a gripping narrative of death-defying plane crashes, heartrending love affairs, and unexpected fame, as well as an homage to Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, an unforgettable writer who touched the lives of millions of readers. |
