SAINT-EXUPERY, Antoine de (1900-44). An adventurous pilot and a lyrical
poet, Antoine de Saint-Exupery conveyed in his books the solitude and mystic
grandeur of the early days of flight. He described dangerous adventures in the
skies and also wrote the whimsical children's fable 'The Little Prince'.
Antoine-Marie-Roger de Saint-Exupery was born on June 29, 1900, in Lyon, France.
In the 1920s he helped establish airmail routes overseas. During World War II he
flew as a military reconnaissance pilot. After the Germans occupied France in 1940,
he escaped to the United States. He rejoined the air force in North Africa in 1943.
During what was to have been his final reconnaissance mission over the Mediterranean
Sea, he died when his plane was shot down on July 31, 1944.
Saint-Exupery's first book, 'Southern Mail', was about the life and death of an
airmail pilot. It was published in French in 1929. Other books include 'Night
Flight' (1931), about the first airline pilots, and 'Wind, Sand, and Stars' (1939),
in which he describes his feelings during flights over the desert.
'The Little Prince' (1943), which in a way is really a children's book for
grown-ups, was written during Saint-Exupery's stay in the United States.
A gentle and thoughtful book, it tells the story of a boy who lives alone on a
tiny planet.
A final volume of reflections, which provides an insight into the author's views
on the meaning of life, is 'The Wisdom of the Sands' (1948). This book was published
after the pilot's death.

录 入 后 记
这篇文字是录自商务印书馆出版的一本法汉对照的《小王子》的中文部分。
个别字句有所改动，原文中有大量精美的插图，可是商务版只有几副。如果有插
图，可以制作一份 WWW 版的《小王子》主页，那就更好了。
《小王子》是他作品中比较独特的一篇，也是最著名的一篇。是一本“为大
人们写的童话故事”。我很喜欢它，从小学看到大学。确实，它给大人们看的，
理解它必须是“大人”才行。可是，我多么希望我还是一个小王子一样的孩子…
