The Little Prince
Antoine De Saint-Exupery
Synopsis "The Little Prince"
"First published in 1943, The Little Prince was written by French writer, poet and aviator, Antoine de Saint-Exupery. It is a classic fable about a stranded pilot's encounter with a young prince who travels the universe in search of knowledge. After crash-landing in the middle of the Sahara Desert, an unnamed pilot is surprised to come across a young, healthy-looking boy. He is surprised to learn that the boy is a prince of a small planet, and after leaving his planet he travels the galaxy meeting people on other planets. The prince relates tale after tale to the pilot on themes of loneliness, friendship, love, and loss. In the end, the boy returns to his planet leaving his new friend with heartfelt memories of how children seethe world. This fable has been translated into hundreds of languages and has sold about 200 million copies making it one of the best-selling books in publishing history."
(Lyon, 1900 - en el mar Tirreno, 1944) Novelista y aviador francés; sus experiencias como piloto fueron a menudo su fuente de inspiración. Tercero de los cinco hijos de una familia de la aristocracia (su padre tenía el título de vizconde), Antoine de Saint-Exupéry vivió una infancia feliz en las propiedades familiares, aunque perdió a su progenitor a la edad de cuatro años. Estuvo muy ligado a su madre, cuya sensibilidad y cultura lo marcaron profundamente, y con la que mantuvo una voluminosa correspondencia durante toda su vida. El 6 de abril de 1943 apareció su obra cumbre, El Principito, catalogada como una las mejores creaciones literarias del siglo XX. Ha sido traducida a más de 250 idiomas.
