Written by Antoine de St-Exupéry in 1943, just one year prior to his plane disappearing on a reconnaissance flight, this extensively translated book has captured the hearts of both adults and children. Following the meeting of the narrator, who has crash-landed in the Sahara desert, and the little prince, who has traveled through time and space from his tiny asteroid, we witness a convergence of two worlds. One is governed by natural laws, the other by boundless imagination. The power of imagination prevails, often revealing the foolishness of the adult world through the innocent eyes of the little prince. While adult readers may uncover profound meanings in his numerous encounters, they can also be entranced back to childhood by the wise yet pure infant.
This renowned interpretation showcases the author's charming illustrations, portraying the tiny creature at the center of the story in vivid detail. Transporting readers to a world of enchantment far from everyday life, it is also a tale of love between two fragile beings, a stranded aviator and a lost young prince who have left behind all they once knew and rely on one another for survival. The novel forges a distinctive connection with every reader, regardless of age.
This compact hardback is cloth-bound, with matching colored endpapers, embossed gold, and colored blocking.
