SAINT-EXUPÉRY'S REVISED ENDING FOR WIND, SAND AND STARS. SAINT-EXUPÉRY, ANTOINE DE. 1900-1944. Annotated Carbon Typescript Signed ('Antoine de Saint-Exupéry'), in French, with numerous corrections, deletions, and additions in the author's hand, being the corrected last chapter of his 1939 novel, Terre des Hommes (Wind, Sand and Stars), with autograph cover letter headed 'Nouvelle fin du livre,' 43 pp, 4to, numbered in hand in red pencil, stapled, [1941], with an autograph cover letter, 1 p, in red pencil, bound as the cover, the typescript with several corrections and emendations, signed on the final page at lower margin. Contained in gilt-titled blue cloth chemise. WITH: GALANTIERE, LEWIS. Autograph Letter Signed ('Lewis Galantiere') providing an English translation of Saint Exupery's cover letter, with additional explanation on the changes, 1 p, April 9, 1941, old folds. Provenance: A.F.G. Literary Agency, New York (ink stamp on cover page); Lewis Galantiere (translator of the English edition, enclosed letter translating the author's autograph cover letter). SAINT-EXUPÉRY PROVIDES A NEW ENDING FOR HIS WIND, SANDS AND STARS, one of the most poignant of his flight stories. Most famous for his classic Le Petit Prince, Saint-Exupéry was an airmail pilot who attempted to set a world record in a flight from Paris to Saigon in 1935. He and his mechanic crash-landed in the North African desert and were rescued by Bedouins, an incident that became part of the vignettes that make up Terre des Hommes. The vignettes, largely autobiographical, create a meditation on life, death, beauty, heroism, friendship and ultimate meaning. This manuscript for the final chapter was prepared for the second edition published simultaneously by Reynal & Hitchcock in English, and Gallimard in French. Importantly, Galantiere's own autograph translation of Saint-Exupéry's autograph cover letter for the manuscript includes additional explanation for Curtice Hitchcock, the publisher, 'I have not compared the material with W.S. & S. but I believe our 'end of the book' is bigger than this, i.e. that I retained matter which Saint Ex discarded for Terre des Hommes.' Saint-Exupéry, and at times Galantiere, had already made changes to the French edition for the American edition, believing that the American market differed substantially from the French. Manuscript material from Saint-Exupéry's major works is very rare, and very desirable.
