Interpretation During Books Night Flight
Night Flight is the novel that made famous Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. He realizes in this novel a real tribute to the pilots of Aéropostale. I had a hard time hanging in the beginning, it took me a long time before going back into history completely and understand all the subtlety. The pilots showed a lot of courage and motivation during the night postage period in the 1930s. The author does not simply recount the lives of drivers in their cockpits, it goes further by focusing on the lives of the "close" drivers to show us by example the despair of a woman who no longer see his husband. I found this tribute highly remarkable and fair, the writing is poetic and haunting. Rivière is a man who seems tough but he is in fact a sensitive heart who cares about his employees. Some descriptions were a little too detailed but the story does not become boring. The aviation adventure is magical, amazing and simply unforgettable.

St Exupéry's short but intense tribute to the pilots of Aéropostale is poetic, moving and suspenseful. I re-read many sentences and paragraphs, struck by their emotional impact and beautiful imagery. This is a novel that I'm particularly glad to have read in French rather than in translation. If you've ever wanted to know what flying a 1920s plane in a storm in South America was like, then this is the book to read. Based on St-Exupéry's own experiences, the fact that he disappeared while flyingInteresting little book with some gorgeous paragraphs and thought. It is much better in the air than on the ground - the prevailing theme when not in flight is a question of what it is to be a leader, of permanent works vs. temporary compassion. That's all fine and good but it doesn't spark. What does, I think, is A.d.S.-E.'s description of nuances of flight:"A single radio post still heard him. The only link between him and the world was a wave of music, a minor modulation. Not a lament, no
This book is by a French author, who was a mail pilot in South America before WWII. Aviation was extremely risky in the mountains, and this tale of flying in the stormy dark seems to symbolize the blindness imposed on the boss and the pilots by their pride and ambition.
It's the early 1930's, flying back and forth over the Cordillera, delivering air mail what is there not to like? Of course, the beautifully poetic and evocative French that St. Exupéry honed to perfection, makes it even more memorable. Pour moi, si je pouvais vivre dans un livre, LE VOL DE NUIT serait il..
Kind of depressing, but profound and real.
I dont know what it was about this book that I enjoyed so much! It was very very relaxing and simply beautiful. Perfect literature for a nice warm summer evening to calm down!It's really short so everybody should at least give it a try!
Deeply hopeful and yet delicately sad, Night Flight is a tale of man's (and, in my opinion, Saint-Exupery's) encounter with the great, unknown and dark forces of existence. To the edge of deep and true meaning he comes, though in my opinion stops before coming to the beautiful connection between the meaning encountered upon the journey and the meaning inherent in the world itself. Still, the force of will, life, and human spirit, and the beauty that he finds in the human desire to continue on
