This book consists of eight chapters; each chapter has an independent topic, but all the chapters are interconnected. The splendid scenes such as the wind, sand, stars, nights, and seas are refreshing and fascinating. Being regarded as the origin of existentialist novel by Sartre, this novel fully reflects Saint-Exupérys discussion of the ultimate meaning of life through his own practices. Like depicted in the novel, as pioneers and adventurers, human beings are constantly overcoming difficulties in extreme environment.
