Faring Homewards: The Philosophy of Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Even before writing the most popular children's story in history, author and war hero Antoine Saint-Exupery (1900-1944) was celebrated throughout Europe and America for his award-winning novels. Though much is known about Saint-Exupery's fiction, little is known about the philosophy that informed his work. In this original and scholarly book, Tim Weldon outlines Saint-Exupery's philosophy clearly and succinctly. Dr. Weldon's book is wonderfully accessible to academic and general audiences alike. It is a true gift for the millions who have been enchanted by Saint-Exupery's stories.
