Synopsis "The Little Prince (in English)"

The Little Prince recounts the relationship between an adult and a child. The adult is an aviator who has crash landed in the Sahara desert. The child is a golden-haired prince who has arrived on Earth after taking a circuitous route from his home on a distant asteroid. The prince&rsquo,s tales of sheep and baobab trees and roses and the inhabitants of miniscule planets reveal many truths about the absurdness of the adult world. Caroline Gourmand&rsquo,s beautiful new illustrations enhance a text which oscillates between narrative and dialogue, and between the language of an adult and the language of a child. It is truly unfortunate that we can never know how Antoine de Saint Exupé,ry would have wanted his book to be interpreted, but he has graciously bequeathed us with the simplest of means to reflect on life, love and mortality. ,For 8 years and upwards.This edition is suitable for younger readers because the font used is larger and the space between the lines and the words allows a more fluid reading._,

(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.
