Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900-1944) was a French aristocrat, pioneering aviator, and writer whose life was shaped by the romance and danger of early flight. As an airmail pilot in North Africa and South America, he survived crashes and remote desert ordeals that inspired works such as Night Flight and Wind, Sand and Stars. He is most remembered for The Little Prince, a deceptively simple fable about love, responsibility, and seeing with the heart. During World War II, Saint-Exupéry flew reconnaissance missions for France and disappeared over the Mediterranean in 1944, making his words about being saved by “one step, then another” feel rooted in lived experience: courage as steady movement through fear and uncertainty.
