The little prince


In The Little Prince, Saint-Exupéry talks about being marooned in the desert in a damaged aircraft. Without doubt, this account was drawn from his own experience in the Sahara. He also writes about this ordeal, in detail, in his book Wind, Sand and Stars.

On December 30, 1935 at 14:45, after an 18 hour and 36 minute flight, Saint-Exupéry, along with his navigator André Prévot, crashed in the Libyan Sahara desert en route to Saigon. They were attempting to fly from Paris to Saigon faster than anyone before them had for a prize of 150,000 francs. Their plane was a Caudron C-600 Simoun n° 7042 (serial F-ANRY). Supposedly, the crash site is located in the Wadi Natrum. Both of them had survived the crash, but they were then faced with rapid dehydration in the Sahara. Their maps were primitive and ambiguous. Lost in the desert with a few grapes, a single orange, and some wine, the duo had only one day's worth of liquids. After that day, they had nothing. Both men began to see mirages, which were quickly followed by more vivid hallucinations. Sometime between the second and the third day, the two were so dehydrated that they stopped sweating altogether. Finally, on the fourth day, a Bedouin on a camel discovered them and administered native dehydration treatment that saved Saint-Exupéry and Prévot's lives.

In the desert, Saint-Exupéry had met a fennec (desert sand fox), which had most likely inspired him to create the fox character in the book. In a 1918 letter that he had written to his sister Didi from Cape Juby, he tells her about raising a fennec that he adored.

Patachou, Petit Garçon, by Tristan Derème, is another probable influence for The Little Prince.[7]

Antoine may have drawn inspiration for the Little Prince's appearance from himself as a youth. Friends and family would call him "le Roi-Soleil" ("Sun King"), due to his golden curly hair.

RYAN CAYABYAB 'plays' it forward

After more than 30 years in the music business, creating hit song after hit song and grooming fledgling singers into superstars on stage, Ryan Cayabyab is still at the top of his game.

Not only does he have two songs that are gaining momemtum at the radio charts (" Paano Na Kaya," sung by Bugoy Drilon and "Manalig Ka" by Laarni Lozada of Pinoy Dream Academy) and a successful music school ( The Music School of Ryan Cayabyab at Robinsons Galleria), he's the only Filipino invited to speak at the International Conference of the World Intellectual Property Rights Organization in Bali in Dec. 2 and 3. He was asked to give a speech on "Intellectual Property as an incentive to promote creative cultural expressions."

At 54,Ryan Cayabyab, indeed, shows no signs of slowing down."I'm very happy because even when I'm already 54. I can still write music that can compete with other commercial songs," he says with a laugh.

As a matter of fact, the music man, who has performed before kings, presidents and other heads of state, is now on a 12 city US tour with his singing group, The Ryan Cayabyab Singers, doing an all-Filipino repertoire, most of which are Mr. C's most popular works, for the benefit of Gawad Kalinga.
