Vol de Nuit; Lengthily Inscribed by Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Early printing of Saint-Exupéry's second novel, which deals with his experiences as an airmail pilot. Octavo, bound in contemporary cloth. Lenthily inscribed by Antoine de Saint-Exupery on the half-title page, "Pour Madame Stokes, cher que'on retrouve une atmosphere de France en respectueux hommages Antoine de Saint- Exupery."

Night Flight, published as Vol de Nuit in 1931, was the second novel by French writer and aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. It went on to become an international bestseller and a film based on it appeared in 1933. Its popularity, which only grew with the ideological conflicts of the 1930s – 1940s, was due to its master theme of sacrificing personal considerations to a cause in which one believes.
