The Tale of the Rose: The Love Story Behind The Little Prince

Product Information

Qué decepción. Fue una lectura muy difícil porque tenían una relación muy tóxica llena de infidelidad, manipulación, violencia emocional y psicológica. Es muy triste ver la realidad de una persona que admirabas. Aún así me encanta El Principito y es uno de mis libros favoritos, pero jamás volveré a pensar del autor de la misma manera. Es triste. Le pongo dos estrellas porque me gusta poder conocer la historia de Consuelo y el lado real, humano de un autor tan reconocido (aunque sea una realidad cruel). In this memoir we discover that Consuelo is the inspiration as well as the rose of the Little Prince. . . . One of her lovers used to say that with this woman, the danger resides not in her beauty but in her capacity to ensnare a man with words. She bewitches with her voice.Throughout her account of her life with Tonio, as she called him, we hear this fairylike, enchanting voice.” — Paris Match Par droite condicion et inclinacion naturelle” / Through Their Rightful Condition and Natural Inclination I enjoyed The Tale of the Rose. Consuelo de Saint Exupery is a lyrical writer in her own right who lived in the shadow of her husband. Perhaps some credit is attributable to the English language translator. Most autobiographical accounts offer sympathetic self-portrayals, however this account is sufficiently factual, and equally generous in its portrayal of all characters that it reads as a very genuine and credible personal history. That Consuelo never sought to publish this, but wrote this privately as a memoir (published posthumously) further convinces that this was never an exercise in literary reputation management. In the Mercantile Adventure limited event, Rose is shown to be a merchant along with Dezel. She gets interested in selling a unique species of butterfly, only for one of the locals to inform her that the butterflies cannot survive in captivity, and turn to brown after death. Determined to make a profit, Rose sets off alone to investigate the butterflies further.

If you aren't into "The Little Prince" or any of de Saint-Exupery's other works, I can see why this may fall a little flat. On its own, this is a beautiful romantic story. It's competently told. Consuelo is not a bad writer. It is the story of a woman who falls for an aviator (Antoine de Saint-Exupery) and their difficult relationship. She is a woman who can clearly think for herself but she has chosen to play the wife of an aviator who later shows himself to be unfaithful to her - and she is aware of it. How she thinks this through and why she makes certain decisions is interesting.The youngest child excitedly shares the encounter with her skeptical mother. To prove her story, the child brings home a rose given to her by the mysterious child, who promised to return when the rose is in full bloom. The mother, intrigued, places the rose in water to watch it bloom. I could almost thank heaven for giving me a treasure to leave behind: my house, my books, my dog. You will keep them for me." Consuelo Suncin Sandoval de Gomez and Antoine de Saint-Exupery met in Buenos Aires in 1930 - she a seductive young widow, he a brave pioneer of early aviation, decorated for his acts of heroism in the deserts of North Africa. He was large in his passions, a fierce loner with a childlike appetite for danger. She was frail and voluble, exotic and capricious. Within hours of their first encounter, he knew he would have her as his wife." In the spring of 1944, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry left his wife, Consuelo, to return to the war in Europe. Soon after, he disappeared while flying a reconnaissance mission over occupied France. Neither his plane nor his body was ever found. The Tale of the Rose is Consuelo’s account of their extraordinary marriage. It is a love story about a pilot and his wife, a man who yearned for the stars and the spirited woman who gave him the strength to fulfill his dreams.

Renaissance & Reformation / Renaissance et Réforme 45.2 (2022): 341–343. Reviewed by Christine McWebb. I am going out on a limb b/c I haven't finished the book yet. I am just so darn annoyed about all the negative things said about the couple and the book. I thoroughly enjoy it. Jeez, I am annoyed!My God, being the wife of a pilot is a whole career, but being the wife of a writer is a religious vocation!" The story ends with the last letter Consuelo sent to Antoine, with no real postscript about her life after his death. But the most melancholic passage is in the introduction:

The memoir details the tumultuous (and 'tumultuous' is putting it mildly) marriage of the two authors. This marriage was the inspiration for the story of the little prince - a story about two people in love who, after expecting perfection from one another, learn that an imperfect life is better with each other (thorns and all) than it is apart. FROM THE ARTBOOK BLOG CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 9/6/2023 Spiritualist and art historical revelations in ‘Anna Cassel: The Saga of the Rose’ Featured spreads are from Anna Cassel: The Saga of the Rose, the first major presentation of the Swedish painter and spiritualist who produced artwork, together with Hilma af Klint, as a member of The Five—perhaps even collaborating on works currently attributed to af Klint. “The Guru has a message for you, A[nna],” af Klint wrote in 1914. “Your path is nearly ready for you. Your power will soon grow, and you will become a sturdy pillar like few others. You have been called as one and I as the other to erect the entry arch.” continue to blogThese new editions and translations of two of Christine’s early works engaging with the misogyny of the Roman de la Rose will be invaluable not only to undergraduate and postgraduate students but also to specialists and readers interested in the later Middle Ages. The new material covered here is a tribute both to the editors’ meticulous scholarship and to the enormous strides made by Christine studies over recent years, particularly in our understanding of the manuscript tradition and Christine’s constant reworking of her texts over time.”
