Imaginez-vous perdu dans le desert, loin de tout lieu habite, et face a un petit garcon tout blond, surgi de nulle part. Si de surcroit ce petit garcon vous demande avec insistance de dessiner un mouton, vous voila plus qu'etonne ! A partir de la, vous n'aurez plus qu'une seule interrogation: savoir d'ou vient cet etrange petit bonhomme et connaitre son histoire. S'ouvre alors un monde etrange et poetique, peuple de metaphores, decrit a travers les paroles d'un "petit prince" qui porte aussi sur notre monde a nous un regard tout neuf, empli de naivete, de fraicheur et de gravite. Tres vite, vous decouvrez d'etranges planetes, peuplees d'hommes d'affaires, de buveurs, de vaniteux, d'allumeurs de reverberes. Cette evocation onirique, a laquelle participent les aquarelles de l'auteur, a tout d'un parcours initiatique, ou l'enfant apprendra les richesses essentielles des rapports humains et le secret qui les regit: "On ne voit bien qu'avec le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux." Oeuvre essentielle de la litterature, ce livre de Saint-Exupery est un ouvrage que l'on aura a coeur de raconter a son enfant, page apres page, histoire aussi de redecouvrir l'enfant que l'on etait autrefois, avant de devenir une grande personne ! Comprend de belles illustrations! Description in English: The Little Prince, first published in 1943, is a novella, the most famous work of French aristocrat, writer, poet, and pioneering aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupery (1900-1944). The novella is the fourth most-translated book in the world and was voted the best book of the 20th century in France. Translated into more than 250 languages and dialects (as well as Braille), selling nearly two million copies annually with sales totaling over 140 million copies worldwide, it has become one of the best-selling books ever published. The novella has been adapted to numerous art forms and media, including audio recordings, radio plays, live stage, film, television, ballet, and operatic works. The Little Prince is a poetic tale, in which a pilot stranded in the desert meets a young prince fallen to Earth from a tiny asteroid. The story is philosophical and includes social criticism, remarking on the strangeness of the adult world. Though ostensibly styled as a children's book, The Little Prince makes several observations about life and human nature. For example, Saint-Exupery tells of a fox meeting the young prince during his travels on Earth. The story's essence is contained in the lines uttered by the fox to the little prince: "One sees clearly only with the heart. The essential is invisible to the eye." Other key thematic messages are articulated by the fox, such as: "You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed." and "It is the time you have lost for your rose that makes your rose so important." The fox's messages are arguably the book's most famous quotations because they deal with human relationships. Includes beautiful illustrations!

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (Lyon, 1900 - Tyrrhenian Sea, 1944) was a French novelist and aviator, whose experiences as a pilot inspired much of his literary work. Born into an aristocratic family (his father was a viscount), he had a happy childhood on the family estates, although he lost his father at the age of four. His mother, a cultured and sensitive woman, had a profound influence on his life, and he maintained extensive correspondence with her over the years. Saint-Exupéry combined his passion for aviation with writing, creating works that explore themes such as humanity, loneliness, and the meaning of life.

On April 6, 1943, he published his most famous work, The Little Prince (Le Petit Prince), a philosophical and poetic tale that has become one of the most translated and read books in history, with versions in more than 250 languages. Considered one of the best literary creations of the 20th century, this work transcends generations and cultures. Saint-Exupéry disappeared in 1944 during a reconnaissance mission in the Tyrrhenian Sea, leaving a literary legacy that continues to inspire millions of readers around the world.
