520    "The Little Prince is revered around the world. Two 
       hundred million copies have been sold in 270 languages; it
       is the fourth best-selling book of all time. Part of its 
       allure is that is seems incredibly wise but so simple it 
       is read as a work for children. Yet its meaning is elusive,
       and its place amid the writings of an adventurer and war 
       hero acclaimed for dramatic bestsellers like Night Flight 
       and Flight to Arras is mysterious. In this elegant, 
       carefully argued book, Pierre Lassus reexamines the story 
       of The Little Prince against the facts of Saint-Exup豹's 
       own extraordinary life, from his cherished but fatherless 
       childhood in aristocratic poverty to his career as a 
       pioneering pilot. His plane had broken down in the desert 
       before. He had adopted a fox, when posted at the Spanish 
       fort of Cape Juby, in southern Morocco. He had known the 
       world of business before becoming pilot; he had also known
       unrequited love. Like his little protagonist's, his body 
       was never found after his plane disappeared in World War 
       II. He was working on his spiritual autobiography when he 
       died, and there too, Lassus finds resonances and keys to 
       the understated spirituality of his last great book"--
