Devenir et la Conscience Cosmique Chez Saint-Exupery

This volume analyzes the work of Antoine de Saint-Exupery in the light of an existential theory: the consciousness of the divine law of "becoming" that gives meaning to the human phenomena of living, suffering and dying.

Arguing that Saint-Exupery saw "becoming" as an ongoing upward spiral from human consciousness to divine consciousness, and claiming that all of Saint-Exupery's material was basically autobiographical, it examines his major works, with particular emphasis on "Citadelle" and "The Little Prince".

Written in French, the book includes a full chapter on the pictorial symbolism (the "forgotten language") of the drawings in "The Little Prince".
