All about the one who wrote the work "The Little Prince"

The one who wrote the work The Little Prince, spent his childhood in conditions similar to that of a royal person. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry was born into a count's family and spent his childhood in an ancient castle whose walls were erected as far back as the thirteenth century. Here in the early twentieth century, his widowed mother with five children settled. Despite some dilapidation, the castle preserved traces of centuries-old luxury and history.

Tonio (as the boy's name in the family) together with his brothers ran around huge halls decorated with armor and tapestry, but most of all he liked to walk along with a forester in a huge park and mess with all sorts of animals. He had governesses, homemade holidays with dances in old costumes and universal love, to which a small earl with golden hair reciprocated.

But to live quite carelessly the future author of the work "Little Prince" for a long time could not. His father died when Antoine was four years old, the estate was unprofitable, so at the age of seventeen he began to serve in aviation in Strasbourg. Before becoming a military man, Tonio suffered a heavy loss - his beloved brother died. In general, in the life of this unusual man, there were many strokes and falls in the literal and figurative sense of the word.

After military service, the one who wrote the work "The Little Prince" was immersed in a series of failures. He failed to enroll in the Naval Academy, lived on the money sent by his mother. In the end, Antoine, whose ancestors were archbishops and generals, became a traveling salesman, despite all his aversion to this profession. From the gray life, he was saved by the opportunity to fly. He was recruited to Lakoether, where he showed himself as a desperately brave pilot and selfless man, for which he was awarded the Order of the Legion of Honor.

The one who wrote the work "The Little Prince", looked in the eyes of others just a magician. After Antoine Saint-Exupery became a famous writer (the novel "South postal") and left the aviation, he began to engage in charity, for decent fees appeared. Antoine was very fond of children and adults, because he was kind and well versed in people. In addition, the writer was a skilful magician and, as they say, a hypnotist.

We know that the one who wrote the work "The Little Prince", participated in the Second World War from the very first days. He flew in a whiff, and his absent-mindedness was legendary. Count Antoine Saint-Exupery could go to a combat aircraft with a book in his hands - and all the attendants feared that he would not stop reading it on time. The pilot made sure that he was allowed to fly to the district of Annecy, where he once lived in his ancient castle. And from one such flight he did not return, it was in July 1944. Only in 2000 his plane was found, and the German pilot, who lived to the age of 88, confessed that he had brought down the writer.

Everyone should read the book "The Little Prince". The meaning of the work is so multifaceted that anyone will find in it something important for themselves. It is not for nothing that the "Little Prince", written many decades ago, has long been disassembled into quotes and still worries the minds and feelings of people.
