A captivating biography of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900-1944), best known as author of The Little Prince, but also author of the masterpiece, Wind, Sand and Stars. Furthermore, Saint-Exupéry was an important pioneering aviator, who flew for the Latécoère (later, known as Aéropostale) airmail line as it opened up mail and passenger routes from France to West Africa, and later, onto South America. The biography includes many revelations regarding the various periods of Saint-Exupéry's life and how these influenced his development as a writer. In particular his experiences in childhood, and later as both as a civilian and military pilot, influenced his writing profoundly and the biography takes you along on that pioneering journey.
Description from the back cover:
The fifty years since his mysterious disappearance in an unarmed reconnaissance plane in July 1944 have not dulled fascination for Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, pioneering aviator and celebrated author of The Little Prince. This vivid and authoritative biography, containing invaluable new material and hitherto unpublished photographs, will appeal to lovers of literature and adventure alike.
