Wind, Sand and Stars

The French Writer and aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900-1944), was born in Lyon. His first two books, SOUTHERN MAIL and NIGHT FLIGHT, are distinguished by a poetic evocation of the romance and discipline of flying. Later works, including WIND, SAND AND STARS and FLIGHT TO ARRAS, stress his humanistic philosophy. Saint-Exupéry's popular children's book THE LITTLE PRINCE is also read by adults for its allegorical meaning. Saint-Exupéry's plane disappeared during a mission in World War II.

In 1926 de Saint-Exupéry began flying for the pioneering airline Latécoère - later known as Aéropostale - opening up the first mail routes across the Sahara and the Andes. WIND, SAND AND STARS is drawn from this experience. Interweaving encounters with nomadic Arabs and other adventures into a richly textured autobiographical narrative which includes the extraordinary story of his crash in the Libyan Desert in 1936, and his miraculous survival. 'Self-discovery comes when a man measures himself against an obstacle,' writes Saint-Exupéry. This book he explores the transcendent perceptions that arise when life is tested to its limits. Both a gripping tale of adventure and a poetic meditation.

读后感

我还没有想好。这三个称呼分别代表三个人：圣埃克苏佩里、王小波和老罗。 圣埃克苏佩里姓里面有一个Saint，是贵族才有的姓。但这不是我想说的贵族。从我在电影中看到的情况来看，大部分贵族也不过都是一帮蠢货而已，继承来的财富和权势固然很贵，但人格和思想很贱，至少不高贵...  

圣埃克絮佩里在法国作家中是个另类。首先，他并非职业作家，而是一名翱翔蓝天的飞行员，在上世纪20年代至40年代，他驾机开辟了从法国南部到摩洛哥与塞内加尔的邮政航线，又亲自开通了从卡萨布兰卡到马里进而到达喀尔的航线；1940年退役之后，他又主动加入到盟军的北非空军部队...  

一直很羡慕圣艾克絮佩里能够驾着飞机在蔚蓝的天空中翱翔，穿越风、沙、星星和黑夜，一边飞行，一边思索。他脱离世俗的喧嚣和空间的束缚，他贴近远方的小王子和心中的童话。他俯视人类的大地，这个荒凉而又生机，残酷而又宜人的世界。 飞行，可不是一种安全系数很高的旅行方式...  

很早以前就买回家来。感觉像是在等待着花开放一样的心态来等待自己精神的成熟。像拔节一样生长的同时，由我来给予单独的营养。就是读书。只有读书。还是读书。我到底还是不能放开读书这两个字。害怕的，想要放弃的，忘记的，原来存在的或者是现在当初都没有存在过的，都在...
