Saint - Exup¨¦ry Aviation Novels Studied

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry was a writer with unique writing style in the first half of the twentieth century in France. He was an excellent professional pilot, whose literature was tightly contacted with his own experience. In his short lifetime, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry totally created four novels, all of whom were based on Air Subject. He looked into the world and made a profounding thought in human life in view of a pilot.In this article ,I study Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's air-subject novels on several aspects as art characteristics, figures in novals and main thesis of these works. Then I point out that these four air-subject novels are the essence of his thought on different life stage and reflect the development of his thought in every part of his lifespan. From the Lost heroism at his early time to the Action theory during his time in South America; from the revisal of the Action theory with humanism in 1930s to the existentialism during the period of World War II. Among these theoris, he put greatest emphasis on The Action theory and the Humanism during a series of his theorial development.
