Code 612: Who killed the Little Prince? 

by Michel Bussi, published on October 14, 2021 by Éditions Les Presses de la Cité.


Her favorite quote:

“The time to collect memories, the time to convince oneself that what is faded will bloom again, that nothing is ever buried, everything is only rooted.

"


Why this book?

  • Because it reads like a real detective story

    and the reader is easily taken to the four corners of the world for a very good moment of escape.

  • Because

    The Little Prince

     mentioned in the title

    is the most translated book in the world, after the Bible, in 318 languages.

    In short, every reader has, at least once in their life, heard of this classic of French literature.

  • Because if many mysteries remain intact,

    both around the disappearance of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and the subliminal messages scattered in his bestseller, we feel that Michel Bussi is passionate.

    He returns with a lot of poetry and finesse on this tale which rocked the childhood of many readers.

  • Because it is a very nice tribute that the author

    offers to Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and his most famous hero and that by buying his book, you will also be doing a good deed: Michel Bussi has chosen to transfer all his rights author at the Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Foundation for Youth.
