Omschrijving

He wrote the world's most beloved fable. Then he vanished into the sky.

On July 31, 1944, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry—aviator, war hero, and author of The Little Prince—took off on a reconnaissance mission and was never seen again. No distress call. No confirmed witnesses. Only questions that have echoed for decades.

In The Last Flight of the Little Prince, Julien Peltier delivers a sweeping, cinematic biography of a man who lived between danger and tenderness, adventure and philosophy. From the birth of aviation and perilous desert mail routes to a turbulent love story and the spiritual creation of The Little Prince, this is the definitive portrait of Saint-Exupéry as he truly was.

Blending rigorous historical research with novelistic storytelling, this book reveals:

• The real-life experiences behind The Little Prince

• His near-fatal desert crash that shaped the book's deepest themes

• His complicated marriage to Consuelo, the inspiration for the Rose

• His battles with injury, exile, and depression

• The final mission that became one of the greatest mysteries in aviation history

More than a biography, this is the story of a man who believed that what matters most is invisible—and who disappeared into the very sky he spent his life trying to understand.

For readers of literary biography, aviation history, World War II, and timeless human stories, this is a book to get lost in—and never forget.
