A. De Saint-Exupéry / Georges Feher - Courrier Sud - 1963

Superb numbered edition 32 on Arches pure rag laid paper and illustrated with beautiful original lithographs by Georges Feher -

The story follows Jacques Bernis, an aviator tasked with ensuring the transport of mail on the air routes linking Europe to South America, at a time when postal air links constituted a perilous and demanding undertaking -

Above desert expanses, isolated lands, and regions subject to the whims of the weather, the pilot faces the dangers of flight, meteorological uncertainties, breakdowns and the constant threat of an accident -

However, the novel's interest lies not only in the description of the risks of nascent aviation, for external action is complemented by an intimate exploration of the main character's feelings and memories -
