In his first novel, Courrier Sud (Southern Mail), Saint-Exupéry pays homage to "those elemental divinities-night, day, mountain, sea, and storm," turning an account of a routine mail flight from France to North Africa into an epic rendering of the pioneer days of commercial aviation.
The book is also a poignant reminiscence of a tragic affair, in which the uncertainties of love and flight enhance the mystery of one another.
