en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 ian 2001

Ritmul acestei povești este unul contemplativ, construit pe dialoguri pline de miez și pe o succesiune de întâlniri care suspendă timpul. Ne-a atras atenția modul în care The Little Prince reușește să transforme un accident aviatic în Sahara într-un spațiu al regăsirii de sine. Prin ochii micului vizitator de pe asteroidul B-612, lumea „oamenilor mari” este dezbrăcată de importanța ei autoimpusă, dezvăluind absurditățile vieții cotidiene. Reținem că această ediție de la WORDSWORTH EDITIONS LTD păstrează ilustrațiile delicate în acuarelă ale autorului, elemente esențiale care ghidează imaginația cititorului prin universul simbolic al trandafirului și al vulpii. Putem afirma că textul funcționează ca o punte între realitatea brută a naturii și libertatea absolută a fanteziei, unde „esențialul este invizibil pentru ochi”. Copiii care au iubit The Little Prince Deluxe Pop-Up Book vor găsi aici aceeași magie a fragilității umane într-un context nou, cel al textului integral, care permite o reflecție mai profundă asupra loialității și a iubirii. Această operă centrală a lui Antoine De Saint-Exupery a inspirat și proiecte interactive precum The Little Prince Jigsaw Book, însă romanul rămâne sursa pură a filozofiei sale umaniste, oferind o experiență de lectură care crește odată cu vârsta cititorului.

Review for „The Little Prince” by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry: It’s one of the most well-known and loved novella written by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. The story begins with the author’s opinions about childhood, art and the seriousness of an adult. While repairing his plane which crashed on the desert, the Aviator meets a little boy with hair as gold as wheat by the name of the Little Prince. The plot mostly tells the story of the main character’s journey to Earth. Although it has a sad ending, the reader can arrive at the conclusion that only after the ones we love left us do we realize how much we miss them. Along the story, we encounter childhood versus adulthood, creativity versus logic, virtues versus sins, freedom versus restrictions and inhibitions and kindness versus strictness. The Little Prince is the symbol of childhood, creativity, also of logical thinking after the way he replied to each of the characters he met during his journey to Earth. A clear example of cleverness and even wisdom is the discussion between the little boy and the Businessman. It is also proof that some kids see things more clearly than the adults whose lives are full of worries, responsibilities and problems which don’t allow them to do that anymore. Innocence, the desire to discover the world and everything around us, naivety are things which each of us experience from early childhood and in some cases even when we grow up. The Little Prince can also be associated with the image of an angel through his kindness, simplicity and purity of the soul which warms even the most serious of men. Just like every child his age, the little boy is bubbly, sometimes persisting, curious, he gets bored quickly and the fact that he doesn’t understand grown-ups makes him consider them strange. What makes him different from normal children are his consideration, wits and his unconditional love which make him bear the Rose’s whims and criticism. His presence makes the Aviator understand what is more important in the world and his determination gives him the hope and strength he needs to overcome the obstacles in the desert and find the well. The Aviator represents the portrait of the adults who are mostly: stern, serious, too busy with work and everyday chores to care for their peers and enjoy the little things in life. The image of the meeting between the Little Prince and the Aviator can be associated with the biblical scenes in which the meeting between men and angels, saints, Jesus or God Himself is included. Along the plot of the story, the reader will discover animals with symbolic meanings like the sheep drawn by the Aviator – purity, but also a dangerous animal since the Little Prince fears that she may eat his Rose; the elephant which is said to have a good memory, the migrating birds which can be considered as messengers to the Heavens above, but who are also making the connection between Heaven and men’s world, the fox – slyness, but in the story she is the symbol of friendship and last but not least, the snake which is the symbol of evil and death. Nature is presented as both beneficial and destructive at the same time. The stars are the angels, the main character’s home (Asteroid B612) can be a representation of paradise. The passing of time is beautifully presented thought the simple flowers while the sunset means the end of a day and the beginning of a new one. The Rose from the Little Prince’s planet can be associated with uniqueness, stylishness, gentleness, vanity, snobbery, hubris, whims, even with Andromeda’s mother, queen Cassiopeia because of the pride they both share. The rose, a flower which is often present in literature is the symbol of love and beauty that protects itself with spines. Sins are also present in Saint-Exupéry’s novella and they are the following: possessiveness, thirst for power, vanity (the Conceited Man), drunkenness (the Drunkard), greed and avarice (the Businessman), fear, asceticism and lie (the Lamp Lighter and Geographer). The Little Prince’s mission is to find out information about his Rose and here we find two of the most important themes, exploration and learning. Simple things like gardening and admiring the environment are presented as the real treasures. „Here’s my secret. It is only with the heart that one can see rightly. What is essential is invisible to the eye” (Chapter XXI), the Fox’s advice is one of the memorable quotes from the whole story from which not only that we learn a valuable life lesson, but it’s also an example of divine wisdom. The scene of the Little Prince’s arrival on Earth can be associated with one of the scenes from Neil Gaimen’s „Stardust” since there are characters who came from outer space. The little boy is a shooting star. Through his literary work, author Antoine Saint-Exupéry reflects on a few things that we all have to ask ourselves if it’s worth putting in extra effort to and wasting our time with. He also encourages us to let our inner child out to the surface from time to time. In my opinion, „The Little Prince” is a heart-warming, educational and exciting story which will captivate its readers from the first page. I highly recommend this work of art to readers of all ages.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această carte părinților care doresc să cultive empatia și gândirea critică a copiilor de peste 7 ani. Cititorul câștigă o perspectivă unică asupra priorităților vieții, învățând că responsabilitatea față de cei dragi („îmblânzirea”) este cea care dă valoare timpului nostru. Este o lectură fundamentală pentru a înțelege că maturitatea nu trebuie să însemne pierderea inocenței sau a curiozității.

Despre autor

Antoine De Saint-Exupery (1900–1944) a fost un aristocrat, scriitor și aviator francez, a cărui viață a fost marcată de pasiunea pentru zbor și explorarea condiției umane. Experiențele sale ca pilot de cursă lungă în Africa și America de Sud au servit drept fundament pentru proza sa, adesea încărcată de reflecții filozofice. A dispărut în mod misterios în timpul unei misiuni de recunoaștere deasupra Mediteranei în 1944, la scurt timp după publicarea capodoperei sale, lăsând în urmă o moștenire literară centrată pe valorile prieteniei și ale datoriei morale.

Descriere scurtă

In "The Little Prince",a small boy leaves the tiny planet on which he lives alone, on a trip to Earth, where he is introduced to the vagaries of adult behaviour. "Letter to a Hostage" is an open letter to a Jewish intellectual in hiding in occupied France.

Descriere

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry first published The Little Prince in 1943, only a year before his Lockheed P-38 vanished over the Mediterranean during a reconnaissance mission. More than a half century later, this fable of love and loneliness has lost none of its power. The narrator is a downed pilot in the Sahara Desert, frantically trying to repair his wrecked plane. His efforts are interrupted one day by the apparition of a little, well, prince, who asks him to draw a sheep. "In the face of an overpowering mystery, you don't dare disobey," the narrator recalls. "Absurd as it seemed, a thousand miles from all inhabited regions and in danger of death, I took a scrap of paper and a pen out of my pocket." And so begins their dialogue, which stretches the narrator's imagination in all sorts of surprising, childlike directions.

Notă biografică

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (Author, Illustrator)
Writer and aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900-1944), was born into an aristocratic French family at the turn of the century. Saint-Exupéry was preoccupied with aviation from a young age; a passion which would lead him into the French Air Force. His first two books, Southern Mail and Night Flight, are distinguished by a poetic evocation of the romance and discipline of flying. Later works, including Wind, Sand and Stars and Flight to Arras, stress his humanistic philosophy. Saint-Exupéry's popular children's book The Little Prince is also read by adults for its allegorical meaning. In 1944, Saint-Exupéry's plane disappeared during a mission in World War II.
