The proposed book contains unique notebooks of the author, valuable in both literary and historical terms, as well as his letters and telegrams—by the author of the most heartfelt and sincere works of the 20th century. Travel essays about a journey to Soviet Russia; diary entries describing a visit to Spain during the years of the Civil War; and a diary from 1939–1944, published in France only decades after the author’s death.
For the Russian reader, this is the first opportunity to see how the personality of the creator of “The Little Prince” was formed, and how his views on life changed.
