"The Little Prince" is the most popular of the books written by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. It was published in 1943. In a short time, the book was a great success and the French writer became famous. People came to love the Exupery's story. It was translated to a lot of languages, published in hundreds countries and in millions copies. The story of the Little Prince went round all over-the-world and it is still very popular.
"The Little Prince" is a beautiful story about amazing friendship between two people - an adult pilot, which crashed his plane in the Desert of Sahara, and a little boy, who comes from faraway planet called B-612. The beginning of this friendship is extraordinary. In the uninhabited desert, unknown from where, there appears a child. It isn't a tired, thirsty or fear. The boy has only one wish... He ask the pilot to draw him a sheep.
Next, the Little Prince talks about his journey. He says how he got to the Earth and what kind of characters he met on the another planets. He visited a planet where lived a drunkard which was drank because he was ashamed of his own drunkenness. On the other planet the Little Prince met a king who gave an orders all the time despite he hadn't any one subject. He met also a geographer who gave him advice to visited the Earth...
On the one hand Exupery's story is a beautiful tale where the reality is mixed with fiction. There are presented a two types of characters and we can notice a contrast between them. The pilot represents an adults - maybe he is not a typical adult because when he was a child he was like the Little Prince, he had an imagination and a dreams. However he stopped dream... The second type is the Little Prince. He is trusting, friendly, truthful. The most important for him is not "how much sb earns?" but "how sb is?".
In the Little Prince's stories we can see the painful truth about ourselves. The plot of story is not complicated because the most important there is the question "what is the real essence of our life?". Today we are interested just in money and work and we forgot about our former values like friendship. So this is the most important reason for reading this book by adults.
For children: beautiful, interesting and funny tale about the boy who looks a friend. For adults: short, well-written and edifying story about themselves. So... this is the book good for everybody, everywhere and in every age. I recommend it!
