  • STUDY GUIDE the Little Prince
    Jr. The Little Prince By Rick Cummings and John Scoullar Based on the book STUDY by Antoine de Saint-Exupery GUIDE Synopsis During their two weeks together in the desert, the mysterious and regal Little Prince tells a world-weary Aviator about his adventures through the galaxy, including how he met the Lamplighter, the Businessman, and the Geographer; and about his strained relationship with a very special flower on his own tiny planet. From each experience the Little Prince gained a unique insight, which he in turn shares with the Aviator: “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly. What is essential is invisible to the eye.” Ultimately, the Little Prince and the Avia- tor return home—each with a new understanding of how to laugh, cry, and love again. Children and Grown-ups Discussion: The Little prince says that the aviator at first “talks just like the grown-ups.” What are the differences between grown-ups and children? Why might the aviator miss be- ing a boy? Other Worlds Objective: Students use imagination to create other worlds. Discussion: The Little Prince has come from another planet. What do you think his planet is like? If you could create a planet, how would people there live? What would they eat? How is it different from Earth? What would they travel in? How long would it take to get here? Activity: Have students think of a name for their planet. Have them explain why they gave it that name. Using paper mache and paints, have students make a model of their planet or make a model of the spaceship they would use to travel to Earth.

The America Edition’s Cover SAINT-EXUPÉRY, Antoine de (1900-44). An adventurous pilot and a lyrical poet, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry conveyed in his books the solitude and mystic grandeur of the early days of flight. He described dangerous adventures in the skies and also wrote the whimsical children's fable 'The Little Prince'. Antoine-Marie-Roger de Saint-Exupéry was born on June 29, 1900, in Lyon, France. In the 1920s he helped establish airmail routes overseas. During World War II he flew as a military reconnaissance pilot. After the Germans occupied France in 1940, he escaped to the United States. He rejoined the air force in North Africa in 1943. During what was to have been his final reconnaissance mission over the Mediterranean Sea, he died when his plane was shot down on July 31, 1944. Saint-Exupery's first book, 'Southern Mail', was about the life and death of an airmail pilot. It was published in French in 1929. Other books include 'Night Flight' (1931), about the first airline pilots, and 'Wind, Sand, and Stars' (1939), in which he describes his feelings during flights over the desert.

  • Antoine De Saint-Exupéry Timeline
    Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Timeline This timeline illuminates the periods of time focused on by the play The Little Pilot 1900-1921 Antoine was born in Lyon, France to an aristocratic family. His father died when Antoine was 4 years old leaving the family impoverished. His younger brother who was his closest confidant died when Antoine was 17 leaving him to be the only man of the family. During his childhood he would write many poems and stories, waking his family up in the middle of the night to read them his newest creation—for he believed nighttime was when the mind was most true and open. The first Wright Brother’s airplane flight was in 1903, and Antoine dreamed of being a pilot from an early age. He once attached airplane wings to his bicycle trying to build a flying machine. In 1921, he joined the military as a private solider and earned his pilot’s wings by secretly taking flying lessons. 1926-1929 Antoine became one of the pioneers of international postal flight. He took his duties very seriously, believing he was carrying the weightiest secrets of people’s hearts. This was at a time when aircraft had few instruments and pilots flew with instinct and daring. One of his close friends once crashed on the side of a mountain and after waiting to be rescued for 2 days, got in his plane, rocked back and forth until the plane fell off a cliff, hoping it would take flight. It did. In 1927, he became the stopover manager at Cape Juby in the Western Sahara where his duties included negotiating the release of pilots who had been captured by hostile groups.

  • Tale of the Rose: Redefining Rose Through the Lens of Feminist Theory in the Little Prince
    © 2018 JETIR June 2018, Volume 5, Issue 6 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) TALE OF THE ROSE: REDEFINING ROSE THROUGH THE LENS OF FEMINIST THEORY IN THE LITTLE PRINCE 280 Williams Abstract-From her very first encounter with Antoine De Saint-Exupéry in 1930, Consuelo Suncín de Sandoval has both intrigued and charmed him but despite her extensive role in Antoine’s life as his wife and muse,she was forgotten until 1999 when The Tale of the Rose was discovered.Consuelo died in 1979,written but never having published her side of the story.The new found account by Consuelo De Saint-Exupéry,the human embodiment of the infamous proud Rose of the Little Prince raises many questions but most importantly that of her lack of agency.This paper will focus on her abjection from her position as the wife of Antoine De Saint-Exupéry alongside her attempts at delinking herself as the extension of him by telling her own account of their marriage.Within the framework of Feminist theory the paper will draw the parallels between the artistic representation of Consuelo in The Little Prince and the physical, more realistic conditions she underwent in The Tale of the Rose. The text has been conveniently termed as that of a romantic retelling of a widely celebrated aviator and his renowned literary creation,placing it as a variation of the original text but a more subliminal reading reveals the lack of female subjectivity,that the paper will further argue on Key words – Feminist, The Little Prince, The Tale of the Rose, subjectivity, agency, embodiment, the rose, delinking, extension and representation.

    Annie Bourguignon Conquering the Arctic and Conquering the Sky: Views on Technical Progress and Superman in Saint-Exupéry’s Night Flight and P. O. Sundman’s The Flight of the Eagle Antoine de Saint-Exupéry is most known as the author of The little Prince. In the 20 th century, this book was the absolute bestseller in French literature and the most translated French literary work. But Saint-Exupéry also wrote essays and novels for grown-ups, among which Night Flight was very successful when it appeared in 1931 1, and later filmed in Hollywood in 1933 2. Night Flight is a novel about a pilot, Fabien, getting caught in a storm at night while carrying mail from Patagonia to Buenos Aires. Losing his way, it becomes certain that he will perish, as the plane is running out of fuel. Per Olof Sundman’s The Flight of the Eagle , which appeared in 1967, is an historical novel about the Swedish engineer Andrée’s attempt to reach the North Pole in a balloon in 1897. The balloon trip starts from Danes Island, one of the Spitsbergen 3 islands, and flies for about three days, but it has to be given up by 1 It was published in Norway in 1932 ( Flyvere i natten , på norsk ved Henrik Groth, Oslo, Steenske forlag, 1932) and in Sweden in 1933 ( Natt- flygning , till svenska av Tania Silfverskiöld-Glachant, Stockholm, Bonnier, 1933). 2 The director was Clarence Brown; John Barrymore and Clark Gable were in the cast.

This translation is Copyrighted by Jeff Mcneill and licensed under Creative Commons CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 To Leon Werth I apologize to the children for dedicating this book to a grown-up. I have a good excuse: this grown-up is the best friend I have in the world. I have another good excuse: this grown-up can understand everything, even children’s books. I have a third good excuse: this grown-up lives in France where he is hungry and cold. He needs to be comforted. If all these excuses are not enough, I will then dedicate this book to the child who became that grown-up. All grown-ups were first children. (But few of them remember it.) So I correct my dedication: To Leon Werth when he was a little boy. I When I was six years old, I once saw a magnificent picture in a book on the virgin forest called Stories of Life. It was a boa constrictor that had swallowed a wild beast. Here is a copy of the drawing. It was written in the book, Boa constrictors swallow their whole prey without chewing. Then they can not move and they sleep during the six months of their digestion. I then thought a lot about the adventures of the jungle and, in turn, succeeded, with a colored pencil, in drawing my very first drawing. It was like this: I showed my masterpiece to the grown-ups and asked them if my drawing frightened them.

  • The Little Prince" (Lookingglass Theatre): Fantasy Turned Spectacle
    chicago no w.co m http://www.chicagonow.com/the-fourth-walsh/2013/12/the-little-prince-lookingglass-theatre-fantasy-turned-spectacle/ "The Little Prince" (Lookingglass Theatre): Fantasy Turned Spectacle 196 Lookingglass Theatre, in association with The Actors Gymnasium, presents THE LITTLE PRINCE. The novella Le Petit Prince was f irst published in 1943. Since it’s genesis, the children’s book has been translated into over 250 languages and dialects. The classic tale is about a lost aviator meeting a young prince f rom another world. The prince charms the aviator with his intergalactic adventures. His stories muse traditional adult issues as universal absurdities. Lookingglass Theatre turns Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s f antasy into a f ull-blown spectacle. From the start, Director David Catlin uses his design team to create unf orgettable visual moments. A miniature plane on a string glides through the audience. Cue a crash, Rick Sims (Sound) and William Kirkham (lighting). Boom and f lash! The billowing curtain is whisked away. Behind it, the set (by Courtney O’Neill) has the smashed f ull-size plane to the right. In the center is a smooth white monstrosity that looks partly like a page scroll and mostly like an amusement park super slide. It adds to the whimsy. Ian Barf ord (Aviator) uses the oversized drawing board to sketch boxed sheep and other oddities. In addition, the ensemble climbs and slides up and down the hard surf ace. The set also has unexpected openings f or a baobab tree, f lower or entire world to sprout up out of it.
