Summary
In the chaos of the last world war, Saint Exupéry appears as a reference at the same time moral, spiritual and human. From 1939 until his death in 1944, he wrote his finest books and composed his "little" philosophy, based on compassion, the bond, the quest for happiness. Wrongly accused by his writer friends of being a sympathizer of the Vichy government, despised by de Gaulle and the official resistance, desperate in the world of tomorrow, he accepts - as a deliverance - the missions that will finally be entrusted to him, considered as so many baptisms "to [wash], he writes, of [their] insults". In this new essay, Alain Vircondelet restores Saint Exupery in his "pure" truth, far from the legends of which he has been weighted and the mockeries with which he has been overwhelmed. Simply in his truth of man.--Éditions du Rocher.
