Valjean’s Reviews > Wind, Sand and Stars > Status Update

Fascinating combination of auto-biography and philosophical rumination. A pilot in the early years of air travel, de Saint Exupery lived an astounding adventure, yet realized his humanity was not rooted in adventure per se, but in the same striving experienced by each person to live free and find meaning. Chapter 9 - Madrid and Barcelona (1936) was worth reading all on its own.
