The Little Prince and His Rose. Letters 1930-1944

The most exciting, sincere, and tragic love story after Tristan and Isolde. True facts from the life of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and Consuelo. They loved nobly. Two hypersensitive, life-scarred individuals exchange tenderness on paper, forgive each other, promise better, and draw closer by touch. In this world, they are everything to each other. This correspondence sheds light on the relationship of the star couple, which became famous for its scandalousness. The letters are facts. And facts are a stubborn thing. We hear the voices of both husband and wife, discovering the truth. And there is no doubt that Consuelo held the number one place in the heart of our hero and in the tale of the Little Prince's rose. He is a writer and a pilot. She is an artist and a sculptor. And this Antoine is not so likable. A macho, a demanding whiner, unable to resist any woman. And her? A capricious hypochondriac, jealous, vengeful... In short, the Rose from the Little Prince. A true star couple! They divorced three times. Their only child was the Little Prince. The letters of Antoine and Consuelo tell us a family story full of hardships — problems with money, health, lack of stability, quarrels, inability to find common ground, deception, infidelity, blackmail, pride, jealousy... Definitely not a fairy tale, not a rosy water. But it is the most exciting, sincere, and tragic love story. Their letters become a poem, an elegy, a confession, a forgiveness. And how wonderful it is! They are kept on edge by a newly found love after loss. ...My drop, how I love you. Consuelo, I run from you, and I seek you.
