The Little Prince

The little prince leaves his home planet in search of the truth—and realises that the best way to see is with your heart. The little prince lives on an asteroid barely bigger than a house. His only friend is a talking rose. One day, he leaves the planet to discover the secrets of the universe. On various stars, he encounters a number of lonely figures; adults who are only concerned with themselves and do not know any human interaction. He meets. for example, a king who rules a kingdom of his dreams, a drunkard who drinks to repress his addiction to drink, and a narcissist who seeks constant admiration. Eventually, the prince lands on Earth. There, he meets the later narrator of his fairy tale and a fox who explains love to him: “One sees clearly only with the heart. What is essential is invisible to the eye.” The prince lets himself be bitten by a poisonous snake to get back home to his rose. The Little Prince by Antonie de Saint-Exupéry is, with the exception of the Bible, the most translated book of all time. It is a multi-layered fairy tale for young and old, and a critique of the adult world in which appearances are often more important than invisible values such as love or friendship
