The Little Prince

Description

First published in 1943, The Little Prince is Antoine de Saint-Exupéry''s poetic and philosophical tale about a young prince who travels from planet to planet, encountering adults whose habits reveal the absurdities of grown-up life. In Richard Howard''s acclaimed English translation, the story retains the simplicity, wit, and emotional clarity that have made it one of the most beloved books in the world. Its spare language and watercolor illustrations give the book its distinctive gentleness and depth. Though often shelved as a children''s classic, The Little Prince is equally a book for adults: a meditation on love, loss, friendship, imagination, and what it means to see clearly with the heart.
