Saint Exupéry

On July 31, 1944, Commander Antoine de Saint-Exupry flew over the Mediterranean on an observation mission. Over the course of a few brief minutes during which his destiny will unfold, the Little Prince's father sees the highlights of his existence flash through his memory: the epic of the Aropostale and his friendship with pilots from Legend, Mermoz and Guillaumet, the meeting of his wife Consuelo and the characters of his works, his fascination with the desert, the Spanish Civil War, the sky and danger, all omnipresent... Saint-Exupry - The Last Flight is the last work signed Hugo Pratt, creator of the adventurer hero Corto Maltese. A meditation on chance, destiny and death, this story fascinates by condensing the real and the imaginary, the past and the present. Served by a sumptuous watercolor drawing, this intimate comic strip is undoubtedly one of the most poignant tributes ever paid to a legend of French literature: it is an artistic and historical look committed to the very uncertain time of this land men. The complete educational system, followed by a comic book lexicon, will allow us to study this beautiful invitation to travel, which resonates doubly as a human adventure and a poetic vocation.
