Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (Lyon, 1900 - Tyrrhenian Sea, 1944) was a French novelist and aviator, whose experiences as a pilot inspired much of his literary work. Born into an aristocratic family (his father was a viscount), he had a happy childhood on the family estates, although he lost his father at the age of four. His mother, a cultured and sensitive woman, had a profound influence on his life, and he maintained extensive correspondence with her over the years. Saint-Exupéry combined his passion for aviation with writing, creating works that explore themes such as humanity, loneliness, and the meaning of life.

On April 6, 1943, he published his most famous work, The Little Prince (Le Petit Prince), a philosophical and poetic tale that has become one of the most translated and read books in history, with versions in more than 250 languages. Considered one of the best literary creations of the 20th century, this work transcends generations and cultures. Saint-Exupéry disappeared in 1944 during a reconnaissance mission in the Tyrrhenian Sea, leaving a literary legacy that continues to inspire millions of readers around the world.
