In the article about de Saint-Exupery, we quoted our favorite lines from The Wind, Sand and Stars, episodes about flights in the Andes. And the plane in the magical arena of de Saint-Exupery is the same LATE 28.2 that de Saint-Exupery flew in South America, with the same tail number "F-AIEH".
But the arena itself is inspired by other lines from The Wind, Sand and Stars, dedicated to another catastrophe - the catastrophe in the Sahara:
The wind that shrivels up a man in nineteen hours was now blowing out of the west. My gullet was not yet shut, but it was hard and painful and I could feel that there was a rasp in it. Soon that cough would begin that I had been told about and was now expecting. My tongue was becoming a nuisance. But most serious of all, I was beginning to see shining spots before my eyes. When those spots changed into flames, I should simply lie down (tr. by L. Galantiere)
And
The previous day I had tramped without hope. Today the word “hope” had grown meaningless. Today we were tramping simply because we were tramping. Probably oxen work for the same reason. Yesterday I had dreamed of a paradise of orange-trees. Today I would not give a button for paradise; I did not believe oranges existed (tr. by L. Galantiere)
Cool, isn't it? In the gameplay of the magical arena of de Saint-Exupery, we wanted to express our respect for these lines, and for de Saint-Exupery.
