Nella città galleggiante di Santafrasso, vecchi professori complottano e bisticciano osservando e studiando ogni minimo cambiamento del clima: graduano la foschia, sondano la nebbia, saggiano la pioggia, compiono ricerche nell'aria che arriva dal baratro al di là del Bordo. Ma alcuni esperimenti possono essere molto pericolosi.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, il suo autore, era un aviatore e un umanista; adorava volare e s'interessava agli uomini. Qualche mese dopo l'apparizione del suo capolavoro, scomparve in aereo sul Mar Mediterraneo. Ma la favola del ragazzino dai capelli d'oro continua.
