I came from an overdose of autobiographies divorce when I decided to read The Little Prince. Under the influence of a sentimental story that ended at the time of my marriage (instead of starting with it), I had a craving for sentimental chess stories. I devoured Eat, Pray, Love: the spiritual south african fashion blogs quest of a woman through Italy, India and Indonesia and other books of this kind, I swallowed south african fashion blogs the archives "Modern Love" (a column published in the New York Times, ed) and I empiffrée autobiographical narratives. Nothing satisfies my hunger.
I wanted the truth about relationships with others is laid bare, no doubt hoping to learn who was responsible for my own relationship to fail. But these writers always were disappointing to me when it came to give details. "Go ahead," I begged, "tell him to me." I wanted to reality TV release. I wanted them to come out all their dirty laundry.
I read The Little Prince to entertain me this exhausting quest - a small dose of what Jeff Jenson, about an episode of Lost aptly named the Little Prince, fondly described as "a deep and moving fantasy". Returning to the drawings in ink and watercolor, I was hoping to find innocence above not only divorce but romantic love. So I was surprised to find in these pages exactly what I was looking elsewhere to learn the story of the sinking of a marriage of love wasted.
Since its publication in 1943, The Little Prince has sold over 80 million copies, a score placing it among the best selling south african fashion blogs books of all time. He inspired pieces, opera, south african fashion blogs comic books and manga, south african fashion blogs movies, television series, a museum in Japan, countless toys, t-shirts, sandwich boxes and pencil sharpeners. Among his fans, there is Orson Welles, James Dean and Morrissey. In addition to being an icon of popular culture, the book is part of the literary south african fashion blogs canon. The writer was, after all, a man of letters, who won during his career, south african fashion blogs several prestigious literary awards in France south african fashion blogs and the "National Book Award" in the United States. In addition, the poet and translator Richard Howard gave him his literary imprimatur when he published a new English translation in 2000. (Richard Howard particular translated the works of Baudelaire, Gide, Barthes and Robbe-Grillet, ed.)
As explained by the little prince to the aviator when it is down in the Sahara desert, he left his planet because he has "difficulties with a flower." I had forgotten during my reading of the book as a child was that turbulent love this flower, a rose, is central to the story. When I learned that the story was based on the marriage of Saint-Exupéry, I felt eel under the rock. I started to do research.
Consuelo Gómez Carillo was a beauty south african fashion blogs of El Salvador, twice a widow when she met Saint-Exupéry at the age of 26 years. In memory of the rose, the evidence of their marriage Consuelo wrote after the death of her husband, but she has not tried to publish, she did not hesitate to tell the bad behavior south african fashion blogs of Saint-Exupéry. His story, which is both poorly written and heart-rending, describes the passion of the early days of their marriage and its disintegration. She speaks frequent departures from Saint-Exupéry the domestic hearth, and its many routes, particularly that lasted with rich Nelly de Vogue. Consuelo followed Saint-Exupéry from Buenos Aires to Casablanca from Paris to New York, always agree with the alterations of course, subordinating his own worries to professional south african fashion blogs demands of her husband.
However, the intelligentsia has never been a big fan of Consuelo. André Gide has not loved and Lewis Galantière described it as "Surrealism in the flesh" - and it was not a compliment. Almost south african fashion blogs everyone who knew the couple - especially Stacy Schiff, author of a biography of Saint Exupéry published in 1994 - have considered unworthy of her husband, for reasons of class and intelligence.
Obviously, I took Consuelo's party. I returned to the Little Prince ready to condemn and Saint-Ex and Prince for calling south african fashion blogs "low" rose and "naive" for not having appreciated for having abandoned. But in my reading, I found a story of love and heartache south african fashion blogs much deeper than an exchange of reproaches.
Things started slowly at the beginning between the prince and the rose. Everything is simple until the day when the rose is seen in all its splendor, and love occurs. The rose, which represents both the beloved and love itself is a kind of "miraculous appearance."
