«Vuelo nocturno» is the novel by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, published by Lectorum Pubns in hardback (190 pages, in Spanish).
The story follows the pilots of the night airmail service in South America, when commercial aviation was just beginning. One of them disappears in a storm while Rivière, the director of the operation, faces a decision that tests the meaning of his work and his life. Saint-Exupéry turns the real experience of aviation pioneers into a narrative about courage, responsibility and personal sacrifice.
Work originally published in 1931 as «Vol de nuit». This edition belongs to the Tus Libros collection from Anaya, with translation by Juan de Benavent, appendix and notes by Emilio Pascual and illustrations by Julio Gutiérrez Mas.
Recommended for readers interested in classic twentieth-century French narrative and in the beginnings of aviation as adventure. It also fits into school literature reading.
Antoine Marie Jean-Baptiste Roger, vicomte de Saint-Exupéry, known simply as Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, was a French writer, poet, journalist and aviator.
