Original biography, more than the story of a life, that of the human condition. A man who pilot who fight without bluster and supreme courage loose his career to write. We meet the most diverse characters astronaut Edward White who made the first "step" in space and the writers and other producers James Slater crossed by exploring the literary and cinematic mode.
A great book beautifully written - in its original version, I have not read the translation - a writer and an extraordinary man.
