Surprising, Surpassing and Refreshing!

At first I wasn't crazy about the book. I first read Le Petit Prince in my Grade 12 French class. I thought it was going to be a little silly story. Well, I learned 2 lessons--don't judge a book by its cover and don't judge a book until you have finished reading it! I found that this story, with its silly characters and planets, held a deep message that not even a highly philosophical book could express. The story is a refreshing change--one with characteristics of a children's story and yet one with a serious message for "les grandes personnes"! It really grew on me! So I encourage you, when reading the book to: sit back and relax, rediscover your imagination and learn a lesson or two!!!

Essential to the Heart

I read this book when I was in High School a couple of years ago
my teacher gave me a bookmark about Exuprey's famous quote.

This book moved me soo much.
I have always remembered fondly the book the writer and his message!

One sees clearly only with the heart
Anyting essential is invisible to the eyes.

-Antoine De Saint-Exuprey

Those two lines I will repeat to my children.

I am repurchasing this book mine is very worn out.

Innocent and true- he came from a star

_This is the sort of tale that a person writes when he steps back and takes an objective look at civilization. This was the point of view of the author, stranded as he was in the Sahara with a broken aeroplane and on the edge of life and death. It was there and then that he met the only person in his life that he was ever really able to talk to- the apparition of the Little Prince.

_This Little Prince was the sole inhabitant of a tiny garden-like world that was not much bigger than he was. It was there that he tended a single rose. However, this single rose was both delicate and difficult and finally drove him away. In his descent the prince encountered other worlds with a single inhabitant. They were all adults and all obsessed with illusions: authority, conceit, drink, wealth, duty, facts... They were all ridiculous and very strange. And then he fell to Earth. While Earth was much larger and had many more people than the other worlds they all seemed to share the same obsessions and illusions. He found it a place where a man could own a garden of thousands of roses such as the one that he had left, and yet appreciate none of them.

_In fact, it was from a fox and not from men that the prince finally learned a secret worth knowing: it is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye. Men have forgotten this truth as they rush about in pursuit of the unreal and the unimportant. How appropriate that our Little Prince should receive this most Sufic doctrine of the "eye of the heart" in North Africa. May all of us similarly acquire such wisdom in our own brief, ephemeral sojourn on Earth.

Fantastic book

This is one of the best book ever writen. Simple words that says so much between the lines.

Lovely!

The French Language Edition is lovely! I had just wanted to practice my French, and I was very pleasantly surprised when it arrived! It's printed on thick, glossy pages, and it makes a beautiful keepsake.
