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

Product Information

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. Written on Long Island in a quiet spell of reconciliation, The Little Prince was Antoine’s greatest gift to the woman he never stopped loving, the only child to emerge from their union. The Tale of the Rose is Consuelo’s reply—the love letter she never could write to her husband—a fable of its own, just as magical, poetic, and tragic as The Little Prince. 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 blog So what you have here dear reader, should you choose to try this one, is a tale of love, of passion, of pain, sadness, obsession and misery all thrown together in the shape of a man and a woman who I do believe shared a deeply strong bond and who, to a certain extent, were always there for each other - in Consuelo´s case beyond his death.

I doubt there´s that many people around that haven't heard of Saint Exupery and his Little Prince tale - the aviator stranded in the desert that meets a young prince on a voyage across the stars - and of this young prince´s devotion/love for his rose, the most beautiful perfect rose in the universe, that he cant live with/ without. First off let me admit that I am totally embarrassed now by my review of Saint-Exupery’s Wind, Sand and Stars: “I fell in love with Saint-Exupery while reading this.” My embarrassment has nothing to do with the book, which is the best, it’s that after reading this memoir by his wife, Consuelo, I see that every other woman who ever read his books seems to have had the same reaction. Then they all threw themselves at him and, sadly for Consuelo, he slept with every last one of them. In the spring of 1944, Antoine de Saint-Exupery 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.".

One never ought to listen to flowers, one should only look at them and breathe their fragrance. Mine perfumed all my planet. But I did not know how to take pleasure in all her grace... the fact is that I did not know how to understand anything! She cast her fragrance and her radiance over me. I ought never to have run away from her... I ought to have guessed all the affection that lay behind her poor little stratagems. Flowers are so inconsistent!

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. I was unsure how to rate this. It's not a perfect book by any means. The main reason I'm giving it 5 stars is that I'm a "The Little Prince" tragic and this book gave me a special insight to "The Little Prince" and made me think about it in ways I hadn't before. It didn't ruin it for me. The Connection Between Nature and Human Life: The blooming of the rose is symbolic of the interconnectedness between nature and human life. This connection emphasizes the idea that life is a part of a larger natural cycle and that humans are not separate from the natural world.

Retrieved 2023-08-13.Nevertheless, Donoghue’s attempts at differentiating her characters is unconvincing because the underlying logic of the tales remain the same. Firstly, In Beaumont’s ‘Beauty and the Beast”, the step-sisters “rubbed their eyes with an onion” to look tearful while the brothers actually wept (175). Portraying Beauty’s sisters as heartless makes them seem incapable of human emotions, which undermines female character even if it wasn’t Beaumont’s intention to do so. In ‘The Tale of the Rose’, Beauty’s sisters are also “onion-eyed” (Donoghue 32). While Donoghue might have done this to criticize the original tale, there is further evidence, which is explored in detail later on, that the sisters are undermined in her story. Therefore, since their tears for Beauty aren’t genuine, they are similar to the stepsisters in Beaumont’s tale and this presents women in a negative manner. Secondly, Beaumont’s Beauty opened a book which said in gold letters “Ask for anything you wish, you are mistress of all here” (Beaumont 177). Although the book states that Beauty has freedom, she still believes the Beast is the master, and even after the Beast says “it is you who are mistress”, Beauty does not take advantage of her status (Beaumont 177). In ‘The Tale of the Rose’, Beauty seems to have internalized the narrative of Beaumont’s tale and follows it even though the Beast tries to tell her not to. The heroine seems unwilling to accept that this is a new story, and she confines herself to restrictions. Even when the Beast says “I am not a man”, she is too caught up in the original narrative to realize the implications of those words (Donoghue 37). Donoghue tries to present a strong, liberated heroine but Beauty’s unwillingness to go beyond her confines and take advantage of her independence suggests hesitation to oppose the patriarchal environment.
