If literature is both music and the expression of the human spirit in words, one can easily and without question speak of a musical-spiritual effect: the "Saint-Exupéry effect." "A Taste for Life" contains several works that communicate with each other in an immediate way: Saint-Exupéry's first words as a writer and a pilot, descriptions of his visits to Russia, anecdotes from his life, philosophical writings, and first-person testimonies. All are masterful texts; works that sing and teach, each of which contains movement - in space, history, thought, and fiction. Before us is a look; an unforgettable look that lies at the core of literary creation. This is not just literature, but the distinctive syntax of one of the most widely read and beloved writers in the history of prose. These works, translated into Hebrew for the first time, make it possible to decipher Saint-Exupéry's DNA: the themes that preoccupied him, the longing for personal freedom, the concern for others, the preoccupation with social crises, the simplicity and sincerity, the story that gives rise to magic, and the flight – a literary flight that allows the reader to soar, to ascend, to soar, as if flying between white clouds and patches of blue sky, wide open to the eye and stimulating all the senses. This book is the twelfth book in the "Reserve" collectors' series.
