Antoine de Saint-Exupéry et la cosmogonie de l’enfance
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and the Cosmogony of Childhood

Summary/Abstract: Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s writing on childhood is riveted to a form of cosmogony: not only does it re-create, against a mythical background, an archaic childhood, but the child demiurge revitalizes, against a biblical background, the languid adult. Finally, from a poetic point of view, the re-creation of a non-intellectualized language specific to the world of childhood derives from the cosmogonic perspectives principally operative in The Little Prince.
