The Little Prince. Citadel

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry was drawn to the sky from an early age. The sky took the writer as well. He went missing during a reconnaissance mission. The plot of “The Little Prince” became prophetic, and “Citadel” was never completed.

A pilot who crashes in the Sahara Desert meets a strange boy — the Little Prince. He arrived from asteroid B-612, where he lived alone, caring for a beautiful but capricious Rose. In the willful Rose, there is a portrayal of the writer's wife, Consuelo, with whom he had a passionate and complicated relationship. The fairy tale parable “The Little Prince” is published with the author's illustrations.

“Citadel” is the last work of Saint-Exupéry. It is a book that he considered his favorite and in which he invested his deepest thoughts.
