Knowing Saint Exupéry from his fantastic poetic and immortal Le Petit Prince, the book Courrier Sud, his first novel, was a beautiful journey into the earlier mind of this adventurous pilot. Written in the late 1920s, one can imagine the loneliness of long night flights over Northern Africa in noisy aircrafts, to deliver and pick up French Mail. A precocious mind, sensitive, dreamy and observant, he seamlessly weaved characters from contrasting worlds in an intriguing and profound story of loss and, dare I say, the meaningless search for meaning.
