“The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched, they are felt with the heart.”
The Little Prince is a French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry in 1943 published fairy short novel. The Little Prince is most read and translated a French book, and is sold around the world each year more than a million copies. It is one of the world’s best-known books and has received cult status.
The book is written many decades ago but it is still and will always be a very timely. The little prince is sort of a children’s fairy tale, but I think that the most appropriate reading experience, it is for an adult. The book is about a young boy who begins to question the methods of adults. It is difficult to tell about the book because it is not about the story but about how to interpret this story. Everyone should read the book itself because only then can interpret and understand the story and its teachings. One of the major themes of the book is child-mindedness glorification . The boy wonders grayness, superficiality and the seriousness of adults life.
Text of the Little Prince was difficult because poetic language and vocabulary. It was slow to read the text, but on the other hand when it began to realize it was really beautifuI. I’ve read Paol Coelho’s book “Alchemist” and this was kind of the same style. Both books tell us a relatively simple fictional story that allows the writer deals with depth issues.
It is great that the books are written so that they provide something for everyone, regardless of age or life situation. I really like this kind of books that will challenge your thinking and even to question my own thoughts and to develop and expand own philosophy of life.
