Exupery The Little Prince

Antoine De Saint-Exupery: The Little Prince, Wordsworth Classics ,1995 ,London ISBN: 1853261580

The Little Prince is a classic tale of equal appeal to children and adults. On one level it is the story of an airman's discovery in the desert of a small boy from another planet - the Little Prince of the title - and his stories of intergalactic travel, while on the other hand it is a thought-provoking allegory of the human condition. First published in 1943, the year before the author's death in action, this new translation contains Saint-Exupery's delightful illustrations.; Paperback

Tadellos. Nahezu ohne Gebrauchsspuren. - Inhalt: Saint Exupery, Writer -- The Youth of a Little Prince -- The Friends of Saint Exupery -- The Airline Pilot -- "My Dear Mama" -- The Desert and Solitude -- Saint Exupery, Inventor and Magician -- Participation in the War -- Saint Exupery and Women -- Saint Exupery and Death. - Although Antoine de Saint Exupery has been well known for his artistic and literary talents ever since the publication of The Little Prince in 1943, it is less well known that ever since childhood he decorated his letters, notebooks, journals, diaries (and later his manuscripts) with small drawings, caricatures, cartoons and visual puzzles. This anthology features the most beautiful and artful of these uncollected occasional writings of Saint Exupery from his juvenilia until his death. Covering his entire life, this anthology gives unprecedented glimpses into Saint Exupery's childhood, friendships and love affairs, travels and adventures, his fascination with the sky and experiences as a pilot for the postal service and as a fighter pilot, and his passion for the desert and for solitude. With over 80 color facsimiles, this remarkable anthology invites the reader to rediscover the life and work of one of the twentieth century's most important writers through his drawings and manuscripts.
