Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900–1944) was a French writer, poet, and pioneering aviator. His experience flying early mail routes across deserts and mountains gave his writing its blend of adventure, reflection, and moral seriousness.

The Little Prince is a poetic tale about friendship, love, loss, and responsibility. Southern Mail, Night Flight, and Wind, Sand and Stars draw more directly on aviation.
