In this beautifully produced volume, the life and work of Anna Cassels is presented for the first time to a wider audience, revealing her as a creator of gorgeous, radiant abstractions and spiritual diagrams. Cassel is introduced to a wider audience in two essays that make clear that the collaboration between her and Af Klint was much deeper than previously known. This is also the first time that Cassel’s spiritual work The Saga of the Rose has been published. Their love affair and marriage would take them from Buenos Aires to Paris to Casablanca to New York. It would take them through periods of betrayal and infidelity, pain and intense passion, devastating abandonment and tender, poetic love. Several times in the course of their marriage they would go their separate ways, but always they would return. Consuelo Suncin Sandoval de Gómez and Antoine de Saint-Exupéry met in Buenos Aires in 1930—she a seductive young widow, he a brave pioneer of early aviation, decorated for his acts of heroism in the deserts of North Africa. He was large in his passions, a fierce loner with a childlike appetite for danger. She was frail and voluble, exotic and capricious. Within hours of their first encounter, he knew he would have her as his wife.And then the reviewers think Consuelo is weak and a doormat. Forget that! She loved Antoine and she KNEW what she was getting herself into when she chose marriage to him. She says: 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.".

I am halfway through the book. I cannot keep my mouth shut any more. I assume Antoine is going to get even more mean and crazy and wound up in his own world. People with daring and imaginative qualities are NOT easy to live with, but a life with them brings marvelous experiences too! Life will be intense and never dull. I believe they fit each other.

Extra Note - Saint Exupery disappeared somewhere over the Mediterranean in July 1944, his body and airplane were never found but, in 1998, a diver in the Mediterranean Sea recovered a bracelet inscribed "Antoine/Consuelo" ......

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. 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.

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. Summary of the plot Es la recopilación de las memorias de la artista salvadoreña, Consuelo Suncín, una gran artista, que redactó en francés (siendo su lengua materna el español) lo que fue su vida a lado de un hombre alto, robusto y torpe con quien llevó una relación tormentosa y pasional hasta su desaparición en un accidente aéreo de quien en vida fuera el autor de “El Principito”, Antoine de Sanit-Exupéry. The Power of Belief: The mother’s initial skepticism of her daughter’s encounter with the mysterious child can be interpreted as a commentary on the importance of trust and belief. The mother eventually believes her daughter when she sees the rose, emphasizing the need for faith in the inexplicable and intangible aspects of life. I like the prose style of this book. I like its simplicity. And I like and sometimes hate the characters. Yes, both. If The Little Prince speaks to you, you will love this book as I do. Antoine was one hell of a person to live with. To read and understand this book you must be willing to change your time-frame and not judge the people by modern standards. Women today think you are a doormat if you act as Consuelo did! Even Consuelo's friends could scarcely understand her love for a man who hurt her as no one else did. Antoine could not live with nor could he live without Consuelo. The same is true for Consuelo's feelings for her husband! This book should be read with The Little Prince.In Tales of Zestiria the X, Rose serves as a major supporting character in season 1, and as the heroine of season 2. Her story differs from the original game, putting a greater emphasis on her foster father, Brad. I found myself hating him,him!! the creator of one of my all time favorite stories! I wanted to punch him in the face for being so selfish and hurting her so much, and to slap her hard so she would snap out of it and leave him for good...but can I really judge? can anyone of us? Ever since she was young, Rose admired Brad's ability to protect others and make them happy, and wished to be just like him. After his death, Rose founded the Scattered Bones under Dezel's influence. As an assassin, she targeted those whose actions would ultimately hurt others, wanting to stand up for the weak and give them a small place in the world. Despite her best efforts, she periodically felt that her life was hollow and that her actions never truly mattered. After deciding that her life had been meaningless, she joins Sorey as his Squire in spite of the risks, believing it will put her closer to attaining her goal. 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.
