'''Antoine Jean-Baptiste Marie Roger de Saint-Exupéry''' (29 June 1900 – 31 July 1944) used to be a successful commercial pilot, amongst the pioneers of postal service aircraft. When UsefulNotes/WorldWarII came, he joined the French Air Force as a reconnaissance pilot. When the armistice with Germany was signed, he escaped to the United States, took a break from aviation to write a little bit, then joined Free French Forces. In 1944, he went missing during a recon flight, and the wreck of his airplane would only be found in 2003.

Although he was a talented, devoted and famous aviator, some people might recognize him a bit better from some the books he wrote, being one of the most important French writers of world literature and one of the most famous writers of the 20th century.

Misuse.


* [[DeadLittleSister Dead Little Brother]]: His only brother, 15-year-old François, died in 1917, when they were both at boarding school in Switzerland during WorldWarOne. This profoundly affected him and his writing. Somewhat averted, however: rather than become angsty and cynical, he came to embrace life though the (then fairly-dangerous) vocation of flying.

Added DiffLines:

* ImpoverishedPatrician: He was nominally a count. His father had been a high-powered insurance executive; however, the elder Saint-Exupéry's death when Antoine was just 3 left the family with much more limited funds, especially given the high expense of the quality education his mother ensured that he and his siblings got.

!!Tropes associated with him and his works:

* AuthorAppeal: Aircraft and aviation. Might be related to his main job.
* AuthorExistenceFailure: Most things he wrote have been published posthumously
* HesJustHiding: [[invoked]] Speculations persist up to this day. He most likely died in the plane crash, although the plane itself wasn't located for sixty years after he went MIA, and no firm evidence exists that he was shot down by German aircraft. Considering how ''Literature/TheLittlePrince'' ends...
* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic: All over the place.
-----
!!List of his works:

* ''Aviator'' (1926) -- the first story he'd ever written
* ''Southern Mail'' (1929)
* ''Night Flight'' (1931)
* ''Wind, Sand and Stars'' (1939) -- an award-winning book about his experiences in the desert.
* ''Flight to Arras'' (1942)
* ''Literature/TheLittlePrince'' (1943) -- one of ''the'' most important books of the 20th century, essentially a modern ''Alice in Wonderland'' discussing philosophy instead of logic.
