March 2016 marks the 70th anniversary of publishing the book "The Little Prince" by Exupéry, a work in the literature that took the world by storm. Here's a short text about who he was. But before that, look these words up in your dictionary if you are not sure what they mean:
✅Fable n.
✅Narrator n.
✅Precious adj.
✅Convince v.
✅Rare adj.
✅The Allied n.
✅Reconnaissance n.
✅Bullet n.
✅Combat n.
✅Purposely adv.
✅Fable n.
✅Narrator n.
✅Precious adj.
✅Convince v.
✅Rare adj.
✅The Allied n.
✅Reconnaissance n.
✅Bullet n.
✅Combat n.
✅Purposely adv.
In 1943, Saint Exupéry finally published his best-known work, The Little Prince, in both French and English. The story is a children’s «fable» for adults and has been translated into over 100 languages. It has been described as the best-selling book in the world after the Bible and Karl Marx’s Das Kapital. According to the Books and Writers website, “Its «narrator» is a pilot who has crash-landed in a desert. He meets a boy, who turns out to be a prince from another planet. The prince tells about his adventures on Earth and about his «precious» rose from his planet. He is disappointed when he discovers that roses are common on Earth. A desert fox «convinces» him that the prince should love his own «rare» rose, and finding meaning to his life, the prince returns home.”
Saint Exupery’s actual life did not turn out as happily as that of the little prince. As «the Allied» cause strengthened, his French reconnaissance squadron was reconstituted, and he rejoined the group in North Africa. In light of his flight injuries, he continued to face opposition from senior officers about flying.
In July of 1944, he was scheduled for one of his last flights. On July 31, he took off from an Allied airbase in Borgo, Corsica, headed for the Grenoble region in southern France to take «reconnaissance» photos. His plane, a Lockheed P-38 Lightning, disappeared that same day. His squadron declared him officially missing on September 8.
But what—precisely—caused the pilot-author’s death? In 2000, a diver named Luc Vanrell located the remains of Saint Exupery’s P-38. A Luftwaffe pilot from World War II, Horst Rippert, hearing that Saint Exupery’s plane had been found, said that he had shot down the French flyer. In modern-day interviews, Rippert says that—as a youth—he had read the flyer’s writings and would not have fired on Saint Exupéry if he had known who the Frenchman was. However, military records and interviews with other surviving Luftwaffe pilots raise doubts about Rippert’s claim.
In 2003, a salvage team brought major pieces of the aircraft to the ocean’s surface. Accident examiners confirmed the plane’s identity by its serial number. But the examiners also found no «bullet» holes or other «combat» damage in the remains. Luc Vanrell believes that Exupéry «purposely» crashed his plane, but most historians say that the specific cause of the famous pilot-author’s death remains a mystery to this day.
