Samenvatting
Best known today as the author of "The Little Prince",
Saint-Exupery was also acclaimed in his time as a novelist, a poet, a pioneer
of airmail flights in the 1920s, and as a pilot during World War II. On 31 July
1944, he took off from Sardinia on a reconnaissance mission over Southern
France. He never returned. He was 44. This book documents some of the last
weeks of Saint-Exupery's life in photographs taken by his friend John Phillips,
a photographer for "Life" magazine. The photographs were shot at an air base on
Sardinia during May 1944. They are accompanied by a facsimile of a letter
written by Saint-Exupery during the night of May 29-30 1944, as well as a brief
biographical essay by Charles-Henri favrod and a memoir by John
Philips.
