Wind, Sand and Stars by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Wind, Sand and Stars by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

One can't help but feel that the title (omitting the all important human aspect of the original "Land of Men" title) and the billing as a top "adventure book of all time" are a bit misleading. Not because this book isn't a fabulous adventure, nor that Saint-Exupery doesn't portray the wind, sand, and stars with incredible beauty. But rather because, as Saint-Exupery states explicitly himself, his main interest is not the sky but rather the earth that he flies over, and the people that inhabit it. At the heart of this book is the chapter that deals not with flying, but rather the Spanish Civil War, where Saint-Exupery attempts to understand men and mankind. Even for as much passion as Saint-Exupery has for flight and flying, they are a means rather than an end: again, he quite explicitly states that he doesn't do it for the adventure or because of some kind of deathwish, but rather to think, to explore, to live so that he may better understand humanity and the bigger Truth of the world.
