“I ask
children to forgive me for dedicating this book to a grown-up. I have a serious
excuse: this grown-up is the best friend I have in the world. I have another
excuse: this grown-up can understand everything, even books for children. I
have a third excuse: he lives in France where he is hungry and cold. He needs
to be comforted. If all these excuses are not enough then I want to dedicate
this book to the child whom this grown-up once was. All grown-ups were children
first. (But few of them remember it.) So I correct my dedication:
To
Leon Werth,
When he was a little boy”
“It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”
Come on, I cannot quote all the book, you have to read it! And not because is one of the best-selling books ever published and the fourth most-translated book in the world, but because it will wake up the inner child which is maybe hidden in many of us.
The Little Prince will take you in a magical journey about life and human nature. It is a story that can be read more than once in different stages of your life and every time you’ll discover more about you, about the little things that you have forgotten, about simplicity of life, and it’s meanings. Presenting several characters through the eyes of a child, the author builds up a touching allegory about life, friendship, interior peace and love.
Even if it seems to be a book for children, I truly recommend it to all the adults and I’m pretty sure that if more people would understand the message of it, then the world could be a better place. Thank you, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry!
