Books by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900–1944) was a French aviator and writer whose experience as a mail pilot in Africa and South America provided the material for his novels Southern Mail and Night Flight, and for much of Wind, Sand and Stars, his most celebrated work before The Little Prince. He flew reconnaissance missions for the Free French Air Force during World War II and disappeared over the Mediterranean in July 1944 on a mission from which he never returned. The Little Prince, written in exile in New York in 1942 and published in 1943, has become one of the most translated and most widely read books in the world.
