Saint-Exupéry's first novel and the first book he published in volume form, Courrier Sud draws directly on his experience as a pilot for the Latécoère company, forerunner of Aéropostale. Through the fate of Jacques Bernis, a pilot on the Toulouse-Dakar line, Saint-Exupéry already introduces the themes that would run through his entire body of work: aviation, duty, solitude, and brotherhood among men.

Spine slightly warped, otherwise a good copy.
