Synopses & Reviews
When he vanished in 1944¾disappearing into thin air as the Little Prince does in his best-loved work¾Antoine de Saint-Exupéry was already a legend. An internationally celebrated, but absent-minded pilot, Saint-Eupéry crashed frequently, narrowly escaping a full catalogue of deaths, making literature of most of his mishaps.
With lively wit and an infectious fascination for her subject, Stacy Schiff brings Saint-Exupéry wonderfully to life in this definitive biography of the enchanting and complex author-aviator.
