The French writer and scholar André Maissé dedicated his novel to the famous pilot, writer, and journalist Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (20.06.1900 – 31.07.1944), the author of works such as "The Little Prince," "Flight to Arras," "Night Flight," "Southern Mail," "Wind, Sand and Stars," "Citadel," and others.

Readers discover Saint-Exupéry through his emotional, almost picturesque perception of events, of which he became a willing or unwilling witness and participant. The novel, with its extensive monologues and reflections by the author, as well as the emotional dialogues of his characters, is aimed at an active, thoughtful reader.

The "eternal" and "cursed" questions that history and modernity pose to each generation ensure its relevance for many years to come.
