Antoine de Saint-Exupery

"Wind, Sand and Stars" is a lyrical memoir by French aviator and author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, blending adventure, reflection, and philosophical insight. Drawing from his experiences as a pioneering pilot in the early days of aviation, Saint-Exupéry recounts dramatic flights across deserts, mountains, and open skies. Through tales of survival, solitude, and human connection, he explores the beauty and danger of flight--and the deeper meaning of life, courage, and humanity. It's a poetic tribute to the spirit of exploration and the resilience of the human soul.

The Little Prince

El principito es un cuento poético que viene acompañado de ilustraciones hechas con acuarelas por el mismo Saint-Exupéry. En él, un piloto se encuentra perdido en el desierto del Sahara luego de que su avión sufriera una avería, pero para su sorpresa, es allí donde conoce a un pequeño príncipe proveniente de otro planeta. La historia tiene una temática filosófica, donde se incluyen críticas sociales dirigidas a la «extrañeza» con la que los adultos ven las cosas. Estas críticas a las cosas «importantes» y al mundo de los adultos van apareciendo en el libro a lo largo de la narración.A pesar de que es considerado un libro infantil por la forma en la que se encuentra escrito, también posee observaciones profundas sobre la vida y la naturaleza humana.

A year after the book's publication in 1943, Saint-Exupéry disappeared over the Mediterranean while flying a reconnaissance mission for his French air squadron. Best known throughout the world as the author and illustrator of The Little Prince, Saint-Exupéry wrote several other books that have also become classics of world literature. Katherine Woods (1886-1968) produced the original English translation of The Little Prince in 1943. It was later followed by several other English translations, but her classic translation is treasured by fans and is often considered to be the definitive English translation. Her poetic translation perfectly captures the enchantment and charm of Saint-Exupéry's storytelling.
