CONCORDIA , Sept 15 — Deep in northern Argentina, a crumbling castle holds memories of a visit almost a century ago byauthor Antoine de Saint-Exupery, who was captivated by the “strange” building and its quirky inhabitants.
The French pilot and writer described in his memoir how he made an emergency landing on the banks of the Uruguay River, 400 kilometers from Argentina’s capital. One night at dinner, upon hearing a rustling and a hissing, one of the girls remarked nonchalantly that the sound was just “the snakes” that had a nest in a hole under the table.
Among the characters the prince meets are a snake and a fox. While there is no evidence of it, many in Argentina — such as Paulo Tisocco, the director of the San Carlos park — are convinced his stay there inspired elements of the 1943 book.
