Through the story of his journey, the Little Prince, a child from the stars, shares with his new aviator friend his interpretation of the essential things in life: friendship, love, encounters, loss...
A worldwide success since its publication in 1943, The Little Prince is, after the Bible, the best-selling and most translated literary work in the world. This "sad classic" continues to be read by thousands of enchanted readers, old and young alike. For like all great fables, this one is as full of enchantment for a child as it is rich in substance for adults. The German philosopher Martin Heidegger even considered The Little Prince to be one of the greatest existentialist books of the century. This "children's book written for grown-ups", as Antoine de Saint Exupéry described it, deals with the great questions that haunt human life with emotion and freshness. There's something for all ages.
