Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

    29 juni 1900 – 31 juli 1944

    Als piloot en schrijver duiken de werken van Saint-Exupéry in thema's als vriendschap, verlies, menselijke verantwoordelijkheid en de zoektocht naar betekenis te midden van barre omstandigheden. Zijn ervaringen in de luchtvaart en avonturen in afgelegen uithoeken van de wereld doordrenken zijn proza met een lyrische kwaliteit en diepe reflecties op de menselijke conditie. Hij verkende de diepten van menselijke verbinding en de stille schoonheid van de woestijn of de grenzeloze hemel. Zijn schrijven wordt gewaardeerd om zijn poëtische resonantie en filosofische diepgang.

With a timeless charm it tells the story of a little boy who leaves the safety of his own tiny planet to travel the universe, learning the vagaries of adult behavior through a series of extraordinary encounters. His personal odyssey culminates in a voyage to Earth and further adventures. Letter to a Hostage, which contains certain theme that were appear ini The Little Prince, is Saint-Exupery's optimistic and humane open letter to a Jewish intellectual hiding in occupied France in 1943

      Alternate cover available here. The French Writer and aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900-1944), was born in Lyon. His first two books, Southern Mail and Night Flight, are distinguished by a poetic evocation of the romance and discipline of flying. Later works, including Wind, Sand and Stars and Flight to Arras, stress his humanistic philosophy. Saint-Exupéry's popular children's book The Little Prince is also read by adults for its allegorical meaning. Saint-Exupéry's plane disappeared during a mission in World War II.

      Flight to Arras
    • "Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, an intrepid and eccentric adventurer, transferred his passion for flying to the written word by writing several classics of aviation literature, including Southern Mail and Night Flight. Based on Saint-Exupéry's trail-blazing flights for the French airmail service over the Sahara and, later, the Andes, these two novels evoke the tragic courage and nobility of the airborne pioneers who took enormous risks, flying in open cock pits in planes that were often fragile and unstable"--Page 4 of cover
