Best Books 2014: The Pilot and the Little Prince: The Life of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry| Nonfiction

Saint-Exupéry came of age in the early years of aviation, and flying became his lifelong obsession, which he did professionally, for the military, and for pleasure, when he wasn’t writing about his adventures. Sís’s signature pointillistic artwork perfectly suits his subject both in precision and in panoramic vision, blending realism, surrealism, and imaginative dreamscapes. A thrilling adventure between the covers of a book. See our profile of Sís.
