From a master biographer, the life story of the daring French aviator who became one of the twentieth century's most beloved authors

Antoine de Saint-Exup ry disappeared at age forty-four during a reconnaissance flight over southern France. At the time he was best known for a career of daring flights over the Sahara, the Pyrenees, and Patagonia and for his contributions to the science of aviation. But the solitary hours he spent above the earth in open cockpit airplanes gave birth to a more famous legacy, a series of enchanting, autobiographical novels and the classic story The Little Prince, still the most translated book in the French language.

An impoverished aristocrat from one of France's oldest families, Saint-Exup ry moved at age twenty-seven to the western Sahara Desert, to live alone in a plank shack and manage the way station for the A ropostale, the French mail service. His careers as a novelist and an aviator were born here, and his life once he returned to Europe was defined--with brilliant and catastrophic results--by the sense of isolated fascination and curiosity he developed in the desert.

In this definitive biography, Pulitzer Prize winner Stacy Schiff reveals an intrepid and unconventional life that rivals the best adventure stories.

"A remarkable biography; indeed, it is impossible to imagine the job better done. It is balanced, perceptive, thoroughly researched, and exceptionally well-written." --The New Yorker

The perfect comforter for summer!
Size: King/Cali King(102"x90"), Color: Blue
I read all the comments before I ever buy, which is always helpful, it was very positive. I’m absolutely in love with this comforter! It’s so lightweight, but keeps me cozy at night! I don’t know why I waited so long?! It’s exactly as described 🫶🏻😴💤💤

Great blanket!!
Size: Full/Queen(88"x88"), Color: White
The weight is almost nothing. Soft and silky and warm when you need it. It is slippery, but if you put A duvet cover on it almost no slipage. It is a wonderful summer blanket. Thank you.

slips off bed during the night
Size: Twin/Twin XL(68"x88"), Color: White
I never expected this? It will not stay on bed. Slips off during the night. I am a pretty good sleeper. Do not toss and turn that much. I was amazed that it fell off during the night !!! Did anyone else have this problem?

Keeps you cool without being cold!
Size: Full/Queen(88"x88"), Color: White
Such a great comforter! The material is cooling but not cold—it’s the perfect balance. The fabric is super soft and feels really nice against the skin. The only downside is that it tends to slide off the bed easily, especially if paired with the Bedsure cooling fitted sheet since both are very smooth and slippery.

Perfect for anyone that gets too hot!
Size: Full/Queen(88"x88"), Color: Gray
I’ve purchased two of these now. One for me and one for my son. It really does stay cool!! It’s lightweight and comfortable. Highly recommend if you are a hot sleeper. My son is and he will be sitting playing games or watching tv and actually be able to have a blanket covering him and not cook himself. They have been washed and have held up just fine. Bedsure makes great products in general. My last few sheet/comforter sets have been from them. Give it a try.
