The Grandma
is still in Panama. The weather is fine and she continues with her business.
Today, she’s gone to an interesting conference about Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
and his best seller The Little Prince.Here, she
attaches some information about it:
The Little
Prince, first published in 1943, is a novella,
the most famous work of the French aristocrat, writer, poet, and pioneering
aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900–1944).
The Little
Prince is a poetic tale, with watercolour illustrations by the author, in which
a pilot stranded in the desert meets a young prince fallen to Earth from a tiny
asteroid.
The story is philosophical and includes social criticism, remarking on the
strangeness of the adult world. It was written during a period when Saint-Exupéry fled to North America
subsequent to the Fall of France during the Second World
War, witnessed first-hand by the author and captured in his memoir Flight to
Arras.
The adult
fable, according to one review, is actually "...an allegory of
Saint-Exupéry's own life—his search for childhood certainties and interior
peace, his mysticism, his belief in human courage and brotherhood, and his deep
love for his wife Consuelo but also an allusion to the tortured nature of their
relationship”.
