After a plane crash in the Sahara, an unexpected encounter occurs. Thus begins the most influential book of wisdom of the modern era. The Little Prince (Le Petit Prince), translated into more than one hundred and eighty languages and dialects, is the most famous text by French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, and one of the most recognized works of world literature (according to some, second only to the Bible). It has usually been considered a children's book, both for the simple style in which it is written and for its plot, starring a child, but a closer reading reveals a brilliant and lucid parable, which deals with such profound themes as the meaning of life, the value of friendship or love. An aviator - Saint-Exupéry's own alter ego - finds himself lost in the immensity of the Sahara desert, after his aircraft has suffered a serious mishap during a flight. There he meets a little prince from a distant and tiny planet. Through the relationship that develops between the two, punctuated by the chronicle of the boy's adventures, the narrator captures his personal vision of human existence and extols the genuine wisdom of children, which most people leave behind when they become adults. With illustrations by Bernardo Fuentes, this edition of this literary classic rescues the pleasure of reading it for those who, although not children in the strict sense of the word, have a child inside them. Following Night Flight and Land of Men, comes Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's most famous work, with illustrations by Bernardo Fuentes and a new translation.
