Code 612. Who killed the Little Prince?
14.99 €
The most unusual novel by the master of French detective fiction. Michel Bussy attempts to investigate the death of a man who became a symbol of France—Antoine de Saint-Exupéry—and he does so in his usual playful manner. Nevan, who received his pilot's license fifteen years ago and has never flown since, and trainee detective Andy receive an unexpected offer: to investigate the mysterious death of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, which occurred several decades ago. At the same time, they want to get to the bottom of another equally mysterious death—that of the hero of Saint-Exupéry's famous fairy tale. In search of answers to the question of how the writer died and how the Little Prince died (and did they really both die?), Nevan and Andy set out to meet six characters, members of the "612 Club"—much like the Little Prince, only instead of six asteroids, they visit six islands. Each of the six will share their own version, each compelling in its own way, and the ending, of course, is completely unexpected.
The great fairy tale "The Little Prince" celebrates the 80th anniversary of its first French publication this year. It is the most translated work of fiction in the world; to date, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's philosophical story has been translated into 318 languages. In his new book, Michel Bussy explores hypotheses about the death of the great French writer, searching for motives and those who may be responsible for his death. Since his adolescence, Bussy was fascinated by the mystery of Saint-Exupéry and his brilliant fairy tale. He always believed that the author's death was connected to the death of the Little Prince. Michel Bussy donated all of his royalties from this book to the Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Foundation, which funds educational and environmental projects. The philosophical and literary detective novel "Code 612" is, above all, a tribute to the love and respect of "The Little Prince" and his creator. The book invites everyone to once again immerse themselves in this remarkable tale and try to discover the secret message Antoine de Saint-Exupéry left behind before his death in the skies over the Mediterranean.
