Acerca de esta escucha
A gripping narrative of friendship and exploration, and an homage to Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, an unforgettable writer who touched the lives of millions of readers and listeners, and who was able to see the world through the eyes of a child.
In the 1920s, long before he wrote The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry was an accomplished pilot. Along with Jean Mermoz and Henri Guillaumet, he was chosen to pioneer new mail routes across the globe. No distance was too far and no mountain too high - each letter had to reach its destination. The three friends soared through the air, while back on solid ground, they dealt with a world torn apart by wars and political factions.

Historia
A pilot stranded in the desert awakes one morning to see, standing before him, the most extraordinary little fellow. "Please," asks the stranger, "draw me a sheep." And the pilot realizes that when life's events are too difficult to understand, there is no choice but to succumb to their mysteries. He pulls out pencil and paper... And thus begins this wise and enchanting fable that, in teaching the secret of what is really important in life, has changed forever the world for its readers.

After being rescued as infants from a sinking ocean liner in 1914, Marian and Jamie Graves are raised by their dissolute uncle in Missoula, Montana. There—after encountering a pair of barnstorming pilots passing through town in beat-up biplanes—Marian commences her lifelong love affair with flight. At fourteen she drops out of school and finds an unexpected and dangerous patron in a wealthy bootlegger who provides a plane and subsidizes her lessons, an arrangement that will haunt her for the rest of her life, even as it allows her to fulfill her destiny: circumnavigating the globe.

Even through the roar and effervescence of the 1920s, everyone in New York has heard of Benjamin and Helen Rask. He is a legendary Wall Street tycoon; she is the daughter of eccentric aristocrats. Together, they have risen to the very top of a world of seemingly endless wealth—all as a decade of excess and speculation draws to an end. But at what cost have they acquired their immense fortune? This is the mystery at the center of Bonds, a successful 1937 novel that all of New York seems to have read. Yet there are other versions of this tale of privilege and deceit.

On November 21, 1914, after sailing more than ten thousand miles from Norway to the Antarctic Ocean, the Endurance finally succumbed to the surrounding ice. Ernest Shackleton and his crew had navigated the 144-foot, three-masted wooden vessel to Antarctica to become the first to cross the barren continent, but early season pack ice trapped them in place offshore. They watched in silence as the ship’s stern rose twenty feet in the air and disappeared into the frigid sea, then spent six harrowing months marooned on the ice in its wake.

Two teenagers, a Greek Cypriot and a Turkish Cypriot, meet at a taverna on the island they both call home. In the taverna, hidden beneath garlands of garlic, chili peppers and creeping honeysuckle, Kostas and Defne grow in their forbidden love for each other. A fig tree stretches through a cavity in the roof, and this tree bears witness to their hushed, happy meetings and eventually, to their silent, surreptitious departures. The tree is there when war breaks out, when the capital is reduced to ashes and rubble, and when the teenagers vanish.

This trilogy about World War II, largely based on his own experiences as an army officer, is the crowning achievement of Evelyn Waugh's career. Its central character is Guy Crouchback, head of an ancient but decayed Catholic family, who at first discovers new purpose in the challenge to defend Christian values against Nazi barbarism, but then gradually finds the complexities and cruelties of war too much for him.

A sweeping, poignant panorama of love & sacrifice
The Prince of the skies
A sweeping, poignant panorama of love & sacrifice
This story about Antoine de St Exupery And two of his fellow aviators is almost as beautifully written as Exupery himself; Filled with thoughtful descriptions, Philosophical introspections And the stuff That lives beneath the veil of the superficial life. It is one of those books that you do not want to end. It is an honest work that does not hide the foibles Shortcomings And sometime immoral excesses of the characters. Yet that same honesty Paints an unvarnished picture of their courageous and sacrificial exploits. Read it, you will not be sorry.

For the duration of this remarkable book i lived vicariously with these remarkable men of the sky, at the dawn of the aviation age. Landing is jarring.

Soupy sentimentality and macho absurdities
I managed to finish this paen to trite sentimentality by listening at 2x or 3x speed. I decided to try it because it appeared on the NYT list of the best 100 books of 2021. Perhaps they should limit themselves to the top 25 next time. The book is not totally devoid of exciting passages and the author knows how to tell a yarn. However, the characters are wooden, simplistic caricatures, the things they are glad to sacrifice their lives for seem by comparison seem unimportant, and the main character often seems absurd and unappealing. I consider it a wasted credit.

Daredevils
Antoine de Saint-Exupery, Jean Mermoz and Henri Guillaumet, the three heroes of this novel, were brave and determined French pilots who flew some of the first overseas airmail routes in the years following World War I. But their exotic lives have been reduced to caricatures in this overlong, trite novel. It often reads like a kid’s adventure story, as the pilots survive crash landings and dangerous treks in various wildernesses. But frankly, the pilots come across as more cartoonish and less interesting than, say, Spiderman or Batman. They are all handsome, impatient and swaggering, “arrogant prima donnas” in the words of one character. Their women are all beautiful and seductive. Saint-Exupery comes across as a lovesick philanderer, and the others may have flirted with fascism before World War II. Overall, the book is occasionally exciting and occasionally very silly. The narration was strong.

Good story but hard to follow
Great story but hard to follow. Since I was always on the go reading this novel I did feel lost trying to put things in order and make sense of the plot however the performance is great and it definitely makes good background narration Incase you are in the middle of doing various things ! Would love a summary on this book and chapter by chapter analysis to dive deeper into the plot etc
