Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (Pequeño&Grande)

Discover the fascinating life of the French writer and pilot Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. As a young boy, Antoine dreamed of becoming a pilot. He learned to fly during his military service but went on to work as an airmail pilot, flying dangerous routes between Europe and Asia. In 1935, his plane crashed in the Sahara Desert. Without food or water, he fell gravely ill. Fortunately, a Bedouin nomad found him four days later and nursed him back to health. This experience deeply influenced his future writings. During World War II, he moved to the United States, where he served in the effort to liberate France from Nazism. It was during this period that he wrote *The Little Prince*, a captivating story of love and loss considered one of the most important works in world literature.
