Description
More than half a century after the mysterious disappearance of the world-renowned author of Night Flight, Wind, Sand and Stars, and The Little Prince, an authentic intimate account by his wife, a born storyteller, has been published. In her memories, Saint-Exupéry comes alive in his human weakness and greatness, stripped of the halo of a moralizing writer. At the time, 29-year-old Consuelo, nicknamed 'the little volcano from San Salvador' in the literary circles of Paris, met the aviator Antoine, the author of a then unsuccessful literary debut, in 1930. The memoirs of the rose capture in a vibrant poetic narrative the tumultuous bohemian coexistence of this extraordinary couple, a fateful love marked by feverish reunions and cruel separations, anxious fears for her aviator husband's life, and infused with moments of absolute happiness. A series of incredible episodes reveals the unknown circumstances of the writer-pilot's life.
