Sand, Wind and Stars
This book is a challenge to read. It is a period piece, by a French aristocrat of colonial times, whose call to the wild was answered and used to the full. St. Exupery was a heuristic philosopher, one who learned his craft with practice, exploring the edge of life, a pilot, pushing the envelope.
