The Little Prince

The Little Prince

The Little Prince, by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, tells the story of a pilot stranded in the Sahara Desert who meets a mysterious young boy from a distant asteroid. The Little Prince recounts his journey across several planets, where he encounters peculiar grown-ups obsessed with power, vanity, and wealth. On Earth, he befriends a wise fox who teaches him that "what is essential is invisible to the eye." Through tender encounters and gentle wisdom, this beloved tale explores love, loss, friendship, and the importance of preserving childhood wonder in an adult world. It remains one of the most translated and cherished books ever written.
