Saint-Exupéry's "The Earth of Man" is the forerunner of existentialist novels. — Sartre "The Little Prince" is the greatest existentialist novel." — Heidegger Nietzsche and Kant nurtured a moral and expressed it beautifully in writing, but only Saint-Exupéry experienced this moral in danger and fulfillment. — French "Le Figaro" newspaper In this book, Marcel Miroc reveals without reservation the eccentric personality and capricious behavior of Saint-Exupéry, but this does not hinder us from feeling his outstanding qualities and strict self-discipline; rather, it elevates the spiritual realm of the writer to an unparalleled height. The author narrates the life of Saint-Exupéry: he was obsessed with writing but even more passionate about flying; despite facing various hostile actions and attitudes, he remained deeply troubled yet never gave up his goals; though he repeatedly fell into financial difficulties, he still chose to enjoy life. The ending of this book is beautifully written: Saint-Exupéry seemed to have foreseen his impending death, and he had also grown weary. Moreover, as an older air force pilot, he felt his strength waning and believed it was time to retire.
