The Little Prince is a modern fable, and for readers far and wide
both the title and the work have exerted a pull far in excess of
the book's brevity. Written and published first by Antoine de
St-Exupery in 1943, only a year before his plane disappeared on a
reconnaissance flight, it is one of the world's most widely
translated books, enjoyed by adults and children alike. In the
meeting of the narrator who has ditched his plane in the Sahara
desert, and the little prince, who has dropped there through time
and space from his tiny asteroid, comes an intersection of two
worlds, the one governed by the laws of nature, and the other
determined only by the limits of imagination. The world of the
imagination wins hands down, with the concerns of the adult world
often shown to be lamentably silly as seen through the eyes of the
little prince. While adult readers can find deep meanings in his
various encounters, they can also be charmed back to childhood by
this wise but innocent infant. This popular translation contains
the author's own delightful illustrations, bringing to visual life
the small being at the tale's heart, and a world of fantasy far
removed from any quotidian reality. It is also a sort of love
story, in which two frail beings, the downed pilot and the
wandering infant-prince who has left behind all he knows, share
their short time together isolated from humanity and finding
sustenance in each other. This is a book which creates a unique
relationship with each reader, whether child or adult.
