Biography of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry was not only a renowned writer, but also a symbol of romance.

Born into an aristocratic family in Lyon, France on June 29, , he was the third of five children. After the death of his father when he was just four years old, Saint-Exupéry's mother, Marie, became the most important person in his life.

Despite being considered unattractive by many due to his facial features, Saint-Exupéry's mother saw him as a kind-hearted and cheerful boy, affectionately calling him the "Sun King."

Growing up, Saint-Exupéry received his education in Catholic schools, attending the School of Christian Brothers in Lyon, as well as Jesuit colleges in Mans and Switzerland.
