The little prince is an otherworldly fairy boy who lives on an asteroid that is only a little bigger than him. Accompanying him was a small rose that he loved very much. But Rose's vanity hurt the little prince's feelings for her. The little prince bid farewell to the asteroid and began his journey through space. He visited six planets successively, and all kinds of experiences made him fall into sadness. He felt that the adults were ridiculous and abnormal. Only on one of the lamplighter's planets did the little prince find someone who could be his friend. But the world of the lamplighter is very small. Apart from the lamplighter himself, there is no room for anyone else. Under the guidance of geographers, the lonely little prince came to the earth where humans live.
The little prince found that human beings lack imagination and only know how to repeat what others have said like a parrot. The little prince missed the little rose on his planet more and more. Later, the little prince met a little fox. He conquered the little fox with patience and became a close friend with it. The little fox gave the secret in his heart - the essence of things invisible to the naked eye, only the heart can see everything - as a gift to the little prince. Using this secret, the little prince found the spring of life together with the pilot in distress in the Sahara Desert. Finally, the little prince left the earth with the help of the snake and returned to his asteroid B612.
The fairy tale describes the little prince who was not conquered by the deceptive world of adults, but finally found his own ideal. This ideal is the love that connects everything in the universe, and this kind of love is lacking in the world. Therefore, the little prince often showed a sad mood. The author Saint-Exupéry said in his dedication: This book is dedicated to the child who grew up as an adult.
"The Little Prince" has won not only children's readers, but also adults. The concise language of the work permeates the author's profound thinking about human beings and human civilization. The satire and fantasy, true feelings and philosophy it expresses have made it the most famous fairy tale novel in France and even in the world.
Reader comments
This book is very warm and full of thoughts about human nature and life. I particularly like the little prince, his innocence and kindness make people feel warm. His friendship with the little fox is also very touching, and their dialogue contains a lot of philosophy. The plot of the story is simple but fascinating, which made me deeply moved after reading it. This is a book worth reading again and again.
