| Title | Materials: Petit Prince et Saint-Exupery |
| Body | Editor's Note: For anyone who has ever taught or ever will teach Le Petit Prince, here are two sites related to his demise. First, in English, a nice summative article from cnn.com: http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/europe/04/07/saint.exupery.ap/index.html Excerpt: PARIS, France (AP) -- It was one of French aviation's enduring mysteries: Antoine de Saint-Exupery, the pilot and author of the beloved tale "The Little Prince," took off on a World War II spy mission for the Allies and was never seen again. After 60 years, officials have confirmed that the twisted wreckage of a Lockheed P-38 Lightning, found on the Mediterranean seabed not far from the rugged cliffs of Provence, belonged to Saint-Exupery, Air Force Capt. Frederic Solano said Wednesday. Secondly, an expansive site in French that starts from the wreckage of Saint- Exupery's plane and works backwards to his career, considering the tantalizing question: Saint-Exupéry "grand écrivain mais mauvais pilote?" http://www.enprovence.com/saint-exupery/ I would recommend this site, with its short pages of text, for student research and reading, as an extension of their work with the Little Prince. |
