Quebec celebrates  the 70th anniversary of the publication of The Little Prince . Discover the cultural events to come, here .

April 6 , 1943, in the United States : the original edition of The Little Prince is released simultaneously in English and French . From the outset , a joint publication between American publishers Reynal & Hitchcock and Beauchemin in Montreal is printed for Quebec. Antoine de Saint- Exupery is already well known overseas thanks to the success of Vol de Nuit and Terre des Hommes . Invited to Montreal in late April 1942 by the Quebec publisher Bernard Valiquette, the author presents his new book Pilote de Guerre , published in February in New York.

April 30 , 1942, a conference is scheduled at the Auditorium du Plateau, Lafontaine Park, where the author recounts his memories of war and defends against controversies and quarrels , what appears to be the most valuable asset: France’s need of unity against Nazi occupation. On the same day , using the words of the speaker , Le Devoir titles « Avoid the French quarrel among themselves » while La Presse quotes : « The Nazi seeks to erase France ». Another conference was held at the Palais Montcalm in Quebec City, May 4 , in front of over 1,400 people .

So he planned to stay for two days on site , Saint- Exupéry is threatened to wait six months to regularize his visa. His wife Consuelo joined him at the Windsor Hotel , where he stayed five weeks , interspersed with trips in the Quebec province in the Iroquois Kahnawake reserve where it is called « the prince of birds flying high  » in Saint- Hippolyte Saint Theodore of Chertsey , Lanaudière . Weakened by health concerns, however, Saint- Exupéry took advantage of his reputation as a writer and pilot to meet many Quebec personalities and discover the charm of some known restaurants as « Le Lutin qui bouffe » and « Café Martin » . Back in New York in June 1942, he began to write The Little Prince and the Letter to a hostage to be released in March 1943 in America under the title Letter to a Friend [ Léon Werth ] , the dedicatee of little Prince .

The Little Prince turns 70 !

Back on the creation of this masterpiece, translated into over 270 languages ​​and dialects and read by over 400 million people.

In 1940, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry moved into an apartment in Manhattan. It took him over two years to develop this story.
This book is considered as classic French work, but it was actually born here in New York, while Saint-Exupéry was staying here. He lived on Central Park South. He also rented a house in Long Island (Northport) for the summer 1942 , says Christine Nelson, curator of historical and literary manuscripts at the Morgan Library & Museum.

The novel was published in New Yorkin 1943 in both French and English, and it arrived in France in 1946.

The original manuscript and watercolor illustrations are here in New York, in the collection of the Morgan Library. This is one of our greatest treasures. In these 300 pages and 35 watercolors, the author refers to Manhattan’s Rockefeller Center, which was replaced in the book for an island in the Pacific.

Christine Nelson added:
In another work, Antoine de Saint-Exupery said : If we build a big building in Manhattan, like the Rockefeller Center, and keep us all very close there, we would have all humanity in a building in Manhattan . And in the manuscript of The Little Prince, we have all these explicit references to the birthplace of the book.

The celebration of the seventieth anniversary of the publication of The Little Prince will last until next year, and will end in style with an exhibition dedicated to the Little Prince organized by the Morgan Library, from January to April 2014.
