Synopsis "CORREO DEL SUR (in Spanish)"

Esta es la primera obra, el primer libro de Saint-Exupéry que sale a la luz. Con él comienza el aviador un largo camino, que concluirá con su muerte y con una larga obra inconclusa, Ciudadela, en la cual había trabajado diez años y a la cual esperaba dedicarle otros diez. Cuando escribe Correo del Sur Saint-Exupéry es un hombre muy joven, pero ya con una doble y rica experiencia asimilada: la del avión y la del desierto. Los aviones parten desde Toulouse y su travesía, cuando tienen suerte –pues muchos quedan en el camino– concluye en Dakar, en el África negra, que se ubica al sur del Sahara. Tal vez el mejor de los biógrafos de Saint-Exupéry, Bernard Marck, opinó sobre esta obra que “críticos y lectores descubren un autor que posee el raro poder de vestir de poesía el desierto, las rocas, el cielo vacío, el sol implacable. Él insufla de humanidad, en sentido noble, a aquello que no lo es”.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (Lyon, 1900 - Tyrrhenian Sea, 1944) was a French novelist and aviator, whose experiences as a pilot inspired much of his literary work. Born into an aristocratic family (his father was a viscount), he had a happy childhood on the family estates, although he lost his father at the age of four. His mother, a cultured and sensitive woman, had a profound influence on his life, and he maintained extensive correspondence with her over the years. Saint-Exupéry combined his passion for aviation with writing, creating works that explore themes such as humanity, loneliness, and the meaning of life.

On April 6, 1943, he published his most famous work, The Little Prince (Le Petit Prince), a philosophical and poetic tale that has become one of the most translated and read books in history, with versions in more than 250 languages. Considered one of the best literary creations of the 20th century, this work transcends generations and cultures. Saint-Exupéry disappeared in 1944 during a reconnaissance mission in the Tyrrhenian Sea, leaving a literary legacy that continues to inspire millions of readers around the world.
