Flight to Arras by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Translated by Lewis Galantière
Saint-Exupéry, a pioneer airman, is now also recognized as one of the finest of modern French writers.
In Flight to Arras the author is sent on a reconnaissance flight over enemy-occupied France. The time is 1940, France is a shambles, his flight is pointless, and his chances of getting back alive are two to one against.
This is a classic war story about the futility of war. It is a picture of a defeated country and an understanding portrait of men who contribute to defeat by putting humanity above patriotism. And yet it is a deeply patriotic book - an explanation of how danger can change a man from pessimistic fatalism to all-seeing courage in a few seconds. It is a book in praise of man, of France, and of flying.
