It is a metaphor inspiring people to have an in-depth understanding of their own inner mind where real hopes and fortune can be found. Key words: Desert; Human R¨¦sum¨¦Chez Antoine de Saint-Exup¨¦ry, L¡¯immensit¨¦ des sables d¡¯or ne se limite pas au d¨¦cor de ses exp¨¦riences r¨¦elles, elle ressemble ¨¤ une porte ouverte qui r¨¦v¨¨le au pilote un monde spiritualis¨¦. Il est intemporel en rev¨ºtant les contrastes remarquables: clos et ¨¦tendu; st¨¦rile et riche; silencieux et anim¨¦; sous l¡¯¨¦corce d¨¦nu¨¦ se cachent les tr¨¦sors et la fontaine. Le d¨¦sert plein de sens all¨¦goriques d¨¦bouche sur une prise de conscience, de la vraie richesse, de l¡¯espoir et de l¡¯homme lui-m¨ºme.
