The Little Prince is a modern allegory that has fascinated readers of all ages, far beyond its encyclopedic scope. Written and first published by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry in 1943, it is one of the most translated books in the world, appreciated by both adults and children. In the meeting between the narrator, who has abandoned his plane in the Sahara desert, and the little prince, who has arrived there through time and space from his tiny asteroid, a convergence of two worlds emerges, one defined by the laws of nature and one limited only by the boundaries of imagination. The world of imagination prevails, with the concerns of the adult world often appearing sad through the eyes of the little prince. While adult readers can find deep meaning in his various encounters, they can also be enchanted and return to their childhood by this wise but innocent figure.
This popular translation contains the author's charming illustrations, bringing to life the story's little hero and a world of fantasy far from everyday reality. It's also a love story, in which two sensitive beings, the downed pilot and the wandering little prince, who have left behind everything they know, share their brief time together, isolated from humanity and drawing strength from each other. This is a book that creates a unique relationship with every reader, whether child or adult.
