A Lockheed P-38 Lightning vanished over the Mediterranean on July 31, 1944, carrying Antoine de Saint-Exupery-aviator, aristocrat, and author of what would become the most translated book after religious texts. More than 200 million copies sold in 270 languages. Celebrities from Orson Welles to Madonna cite it as life-changing. Schools worldwide teach it not as literature but as essential wisdom. What makes a slim wartime fairy tale resonate across every culture and generation? The answer lies beneath its deceptively simple surface. "The Little Prince" is Saint-Exupery's spiritual autobiography-a profound reconciliation with his lost childhood and absent father. Through a golden-haired boy from a distant star, this aviator-author finally found what he'd been seeking across deserts, mountains, and oceans: himself. The story begins where transformation always does-with a crash landing, both literal and metaphorical, that shatters everything we thought we knew.
