Little prince

by Antoine De Saint-Exupery

About this title: Part fable, part fairy tale, part philosophy of life, THE LITTLE PRINCE tells the story of a pilot who crashes his airplane in the Sahara Desert, where he meets the Little Prince, a visitor from another planet. The Little Prince tells the pilot he has been traveling to many distant asteroids to get advice on how to care for his rose, the only flower that grows on his tiny planet. The Little Prince's journey is frustrating until he travels to Earth, where he learns about love, friendship, responsibility, and beauty.

"The story of "The Little Prince" continues to be a mainstay favorite of people of all ages; indeed, I don't know of anybody who has not heard of this classic story.

The story can basically be split into two parts: The first part is the short introduction dealing with the narrator and his view of the world when he was a child (plus his drawings of the inside and outside of a boa constrictor) and how adults could never understand the real meaning of things or perceive truth in the world--only the superficial and the usual. "Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them."

The Little Prince also describes his journey from planet to planet, each tiny world populated by a single adult. It's a wonderfully inventive sequence, which evokes not only the great fairy tales but also such monuments of postmodern whimsy whenever the author pokes fun at the following: a king, a conceited man, a tippler, a businessman, a geographer, and a lamplighter, all of whom signify some futile aspect of adult existence.

At a different level, you can see the Little Prince's travels to other planets as an allegory for all of life. What are we seeking for? How do you know when we have found it? How can we lose what is important? The examples of self-absorbed adults, beginning with the aviator, provide many cautionary tales. "Don't you see -- I'm very busy with matters of consequence!"

The rest of the book is the story of the Little Prince, whom the narrator discovers in the Sahara when he is trying to fix his downed airplane and is in fear of his life. The narrator and the reader slowly come to know the prince's story and learn about friendship, love and truth in a touching way. "To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand little foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world..."

My favorite parts are those dealing with the prince's relationship with his beloved proud rose (her four thorns are supposed to protect her from tigers) left on his planet and the prince's relationship with the wise little fox, who offers the prince his philosophical secret on life. "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."

The story of "The Little Prince" can be read at many different levels of meaning. In fact, the wider your mind and heart, the more you will appreciate the story. But the narrower your mind and heart, the more you need this story.

"I hate this book. The rose was so not worth to be loved, the little prince wandered through the world and didn't care one bit whom he hurt... I don't like the writing, the story, the characters nor the message. Totally worthless and horrible book. I don't understand why so many people love it."

"I really hate giving books even slightly negative reviews, especially books that other people love. And a lot of people seem to really love this book. It's gotten good reviews by my friends on Goodreads. People who like it might say it's "charming" or "whimsical" or "lovely" or "imaginative."

Unfortunately, even though so many others adore this book, I can't say I liked it. At all. Actually, in my opinion, the best thing it has going for it is that it's only 83 pages (several of which are filled with pictures).

For me, it felt like the author was trying too hard to be profound. Everything was fraught with meaning - and if you didn't get the meaning (or if you didn't think it was that interesting of a lesson), you were promptly labeled a "grown-up" (someone who's blind to the things that are truly important) by the narrator.

I guess I'm just a grown-up then, 'cause I didn't find the strange prince from another planet charming or witty or deep - I just found him annoying.

Now - please, please, please don't throw rotten fruit at me!"

""Whoever brings in his heart a cathedral to built, is already a winner" said Antoine de St Exupery.

The Little Prince, my favorite book, I read it several times, in several moments of my life, and each time it's a surprise, it's like the words changed, it's like the story became different since the last time I read it...actually the only thing which changes it's me, my imagination and my point of view of the world and the life.


That's why this book is not only for the kids, like certain person pretend!And actually I would like to say that the adults appreciate it more better, because this book help you to be disconnect of the stress of your job and all those little worries you have in your life, this book remake the world in your mind for few hours and allow you to become a child again...
Let your imagination shine, let you draw the world of the Little Prince in your mind,enjoy your freedom..."
