6b, Antoine De Sant Exupery. Author and Publisher's New Years gift book. Decorations by John O'Hara Cosgrave II. One of 1000 copies. Reynal and Hitchcock, New York. 1938. Notes The Wild Garden by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, first published in 1938, is a reflective and poetic collection of essays drawn from the author’s experiences as a pioneering aviator. Through vivid descriptions of flight over deserts, mountains, and remote regions, Saint-Exupéry explores themes of courage, solitude, friendship, and the deep connection between humanity and nature. Rather than focusing only on adventure, the book meditates on the inner life of the pilot and the spiritual lessons found in danger, responsibility, and beauty. Blending memoir, philosophy, and lyrical prose, it reveals the same thoughtful and humanistic spirit that later shaped his most famous work, The Little Prince. Description Green hardback with black spine, ivory title/author plate on front, clear dust jacket, 1 of 1000 copies printed as gifts, pristine condition. Show more
