*** For those who somehow have no idea about what happens in The Little Prince or cannot figure it out at a reasonable spot in the book, here is a warning - THERE WILL BE, as much as I hate applying this term to this incredibly famous classic that does not rely on Aha! moments to keep the readers' attention, SPOILERS! ****


-----------


'You do understand that the Little Prince died?' my mother asked as carefully and gently as only adults who know that loss of innocence can be crushing but is brutally necessary can do.

'No, he didn't. He went back to his home planet and that stupid rose. It says so right here,' I replied with the comforting stubbornness of an eight-year-old.

Later that night, I quietly reread the book and the sad truth clicked, and so did the belated thought that for all the gentle berating of adults in it, this strange and beautiful book was written by one of them and definitely for them, and not for me, and by luring me in with the beautiful pictures it pushed me just a bit further on the inevitable road to adulthood.

Or so I see now.

Back then, I decided to read the author's biography instead as a distraction from the thoughts that were trying to be a bit more grown-up than my heart cared for - I was the odd kid of a literature teacher mother, after all - just to learn that just after writing this book, Antoine de Saint Exupery died when flying his plane in a war to liberate his country, killed by adults who played a game of war, too dangerous and cruel. And that finally made me cry.

And then I went back to the simple security of childhood.

Then I grew up, inevitably, most of us do. I learned to do my fair share of 'matters of consequence'. I learned the painful understanding of why certain vain but naive roses can hold such sad power over our hearts. I learned the comfort and longing of nostalgia, the fear of the crushing burden of loneliness, the understanding of fragile beauty of the world that can be so easily taken away at any moment. I became a grown-up, and I have to learn to reconcile my inner child with my outer age. "In the course of this life I have had a great many encounters with a great many people who have been concerned with matters of consequence. I have lived a great deal among grown-ups. I have seen them intimately, close at hand. And that hasn't much improved my opinion of them." Now, reading this intensely lyrical and mesmerizing book written by an ailing middle-aged adult far away from the country he loved in the middle of war-torn years, I am confronted with emotions that ruthlessly hurt, hidden in the deceiving simplicity of a (supposedly) children's story just an elephant was hidden inside a boa constrictor - or was it simply a hat all along? - in the opening paragraphs of this book. I sigh and tear up, and try to resist the urge to pick up the golden-haired child that never stopped until he got answers to his questions and carry him away into safety. But I can't. Because if I do so, there will never be 500 billion bells in the stars, and we will never wonder whether the rose is still alive - and it needs to be, because we are responsible for those we have tamed. "But I was not reassured. I remembered the fox. One runs the risk of weeping a little, if one lets himself be tamed." This is not a book for children. It's for adults who remember being children and feel nostalgia for the simple comfort of childhood innocence but know they can never go back to it. Because they have met their Roses, and Foxes, and drank from a well with a rusty handle in the desert, and learned that a few thorns may not stand against the claws of a tiger. Un the Little Prince, they can no longer go back - but they can look at the night starry sky and laugh, and imagine that they hear an answering clear laughter. "In certain more important details I shall make mistakes, also. But that is something that will not be my fault. My friend never explained anything to me. He thought, perhaps, that I was himself. But I, alas, do not know how to see sheep through the walls of boxes. Perhaps I am a little the grown-ups. I have had to grow old."



'What makes the desert beautiful,' said the little prince, 'is that somewhere it hides a well.'

The Little Prince is a short story of a man who crash lands his plane in a remote part of the desert. The man meets a little fellow, The Little Prince, who regales him with his tales of his travels around the universe.

This was a short book that carried a big punch. Although it is often labeled as a children’s story, it is so full of beautiful symbolism. The Little Prince is worth reading once a year.

My favorite tale from The Little Prince’s travel is the story of the businessman. The businessman is busy counting the stars, claiming to own them because he first discovered them. The Little Prince asks him what he does with the stars, and the businessman says nothing.

“I own a flower myself,” he (The Little Prince) continued, “which I water every day. I own three volcanoes, which I rake out every week. I even rake out the extinct one. You never know. So it’s of some use to my volcanoes, and it’s useful to my flower, that I own them. But you’re not useful to the stars.”

There was another quote that I just loved: “I need to put up with two or three caterpillars if I want to get to know the butterflies.”

The next asteroid the Little Prince came to was inhabited by a Quiz Addict. He sat hunched in front of his laptop, and barely looked up when the Little Prince greeted him. There was nowhere else to sit, since the whole asteroid was covered in books.

"Good morning!" said the Little Prince.

"I'm sorry, I don't have time to talk to you," said the Quiz Addict. "I am very busy. Wait. In Twilight, what color was Edward's car?"

"I don't know," said the Little Prince. "I have never read this book Twilight."

"I think it was blue," said the man. "Damn! I was wrong. Silver. In Twilight, who joined the Cullen family first?"

"I told you," said the Little Prince, "that I haven't read this book. But it must be an interesting book if you answer questions about it all day long. I would very much to read it."

"It is the stupidest book ever written!" said the man.

"Then why do you answer questions about it all day long?" asked the Little Prince.

"Because if I don't," sighed the man, "then my friend on asteroid B451 will get ahead of me. "He has read the whole series. Luckily, he hasn't read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows."

"When you have finished the Quiz," asked the Little Prince, "I hope you will be able to read some of these books you have around you? I notice that you have had Atonement on your to-read list for the last six months."

"It is a Never-Ending Quiz," answered the man. "In Twilight, what color was Edward's car?"

"I believe you said silver?" answered the Little Prince politely.

"Thank you," muttered the man. "Yes! You were right. I should have known that."

"I'm sorry, I must be going," said the Little Prince. And he went on his way, thinking that grown-ups were very, very, very strange.

Great observations, but personally I think it's overrated. It practically begs the reader to come to the conclusion that if you don't "get it" it's your own fault because you're a "grown up, and only kids can see what matters." It's heavy handed, clumsily executed observations on what's important in life. It's not wrong by any means, but it's kind of pseudo-intellectualist.

I'm going to go with a literal interpretation of the plot, because it's more fun that way:

A man crashes his plane in the desert, hallucinates a small alien boy that teaches him philosophical lessons, invents a history for him, finds a well just in time to stave off dehydration, as he re-hydrates, his hallucinated alien friend kills himself and disappears, he fixes his plane and flies home and is sad about it, but feels blessed for the experience as it has changed him.


Ready for the moral? It's really simple:
"It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important." Or in other words, spend your time developing relationships, don't worry so much about the things, they're not important, it's the time you spend and how you spend it that is.

That's a nice philosophy, I get it. I even agree with it one hundred percent. I just think these metaphors are painfully clumsy. read-20151,133 s7 comments Erin47 132

We are all children in adult bodies. Yes we are, don't think we aren't for one moment. The fact that we WERE, indeed, children, is a huge part of each of us. It is possible to shed a few appreciative tears on every page of this book if you entertain the thought that the pilot IS The Little Prince. Maybe you won't think that--maybe you'll have your own take on the book---that's the magic about it. This book is translated to English from French. If you understand and/or appreciate French, the deliciousness of that fact can affect you in addition to the sweet storyline itself. The book won't even take you a whole day to read. Consider honoring the Little You that still remains, and resides within you, and read this salute to childhood, to innocence, and to you. It just takes a 'Little' imagination and bravery.903 s Federico DN744 2,045

“What is essential is invisible to the eyes.”

Saint-Exupéry’s plane crashes in the middle of the Sahara desert; with limited supplies and no hopes of finding help, his time is short to fix his airship. One day after waking up he finds a beautiful young boy playing on the sand, and starts to wonder if he may be losing his mind. Is he dehydrated and the boy a product of his imagination? Who is that little boy and what on earth is he doing in the middle of the desert? And why does he keeps asking to draw him a sheep?

One of the firsts books I picked up from my parent’s bookcase, if not the very first. A book I read during my teens and deeply LOVED, with a soul shattering ending that I never fully recovered from. To this day I think this is the first book I read with a devastating ending.

A book everyone should try to read at least once in their lifetime, but never force it. I think it’s essential for this book to come just at the right invisible time, and very important to keep an open mind about it. Don’t over analyze it too much, and it should be easy to enjoy. I think any kid can love it, or any adult with a healthy child at heart.

A must read in life. Extremely Recommendable.

*** The Little Prince (2015) is a beautifully touching movie that has much and little to do with the original work. This film is more of a modern retelling of what ‘The Little Prince 1 & 2’ would’ve been, if such a sequel existed. Still, of all the adaptations I’ve watched (which is to say the only one in this case ehem), it’s so VERY worth it. An extremely heartfelt animation and something any reader of the Little Prince would probably love. A fantastic film with gorgeous artwork and an amazing voicing cast. Very Recommendable. Just mind it includes a lot more stuff than just a plain adaptation.

“Lo esencial es invisible a los ojos.”

El avión de Saint-Exupéry se estrella en medio del desierto del Sahara; con escasos recursos y sin esperanza de hallar ayuda, su tiempo es corto para tratar de arreglar su nave. Un día al despertar se encuentra con un hermoso joven muchacho jugando en la arena, y se empieza a preguntar si tal vez esté perdiendo la cabeza. ¿Está deshidratado y el niño un producto de su imaginación? ¿Quién es ese muchachito y qué por los cielos está haciendo en el medio del desierto? ¿Y por qué sigue insistiendo en que le dibuje una oveja?

Este fue uno de los primeros libros que escogí de la biblioteca de mis viejos, si no es que el mismísimo primero. Un libro que leí durante mi adolescencia y AME profundamente, con un final que parte el alma y del cual nunca llegué a recuperarme completamente. Hasta el día de hoy creo que es el primer libro que leí con un final devastador.

Un libro que todo el mundo debería intentar leer al menos una vez en la vida, pero sin jamás forzarlo. Creo que es esencial que este libro llegue justo en el invisible momento adecuado, y muy importante leerlo con una mente abierta. No sobre analizarlo demasiado, y seguramente será fácil disfrutarlo. Creo que cualquier niño puede amarlo, o cualquier adulto con un niño saludable en su interior.

Un deber para leer en la vida. Extremadamente Recomendable.

*** El Principito (2015) es una hermosamente conmovedora película que tiene mucho y poco que ver con la obra original. Este filme es una especie de recreación moderna de lo que sería ‘El Principito 1 & 2’, si dicha secuela existiera. Igual, de todas las adaptaciones que vi (que dicho sea de paso es una sola en este caso ehem), esta lo vale MUCHO. Una extremadamente emotiva película animada y algo que cualquier lector del Principito probablemente amaría. Una fantástica y bellísima obra artística con un excelente elenco de voces. Muy Recomendable. Sólo sepan que incluye muchas más cosas que una simple adaptación.

(Book 574 from 1001 Books) - Le Petit Prince = The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

The Little Prince, first published in 1943, is a novella, the most famous work of French aristocrat, writer, poet, and pioneering aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

The Little Prince is a poetic tale, with watercolor illustrations by the author, in which a pilot stranded in the desert meets a young prince visiting Earth from a tiny asteroid.

The story is philosophical and includes social criticism of the adult world. It was written during a period when Saint-Expiry fled to North America subsequent to the Fall of France during the Second World War, witnessed first hand by the author and captured in his memoir Flight to Arras.

I haven't read anything this before. This book is very intelligently written.

“And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”

i find it almost impossible to write on this book at all, let alone extensively enough to constitute a review. it's just so lovely and wonderful, and it really seems one of those books that reveals another facet with every reading.

(it was just as delightful the second and third read as the first, and nearly as great in english as in french.)

i just...love it.

Starting the avalanche of sophisticated children´s books

With a bang so loud that it´s hard to top
The density of philosophical insights, innuendos, and connotations is so immense that one can´t find just one interpretation, but tons of them. It subjectively depends on what one´s ideology is to imagine what the different characters and actions could mean. Because besides the

Obvious criticism of the destruction of childhood imagination and creativity by indoctrination and conformity
One could put on a political, sociological, economic, ethical, psychological, etc hat and start guessing what snake, prince, pilot, child pilot flashback, different humans, the asteroid, etc. mean. Not just Saint Exupery delivered different options when talking about his work, but loads of wise people reading and reviewing it too.

Many other classics can widely be defined with one interpretation
but that´s definitively not the case here. One is left with a universe of possible ways to expand one´s thoughts, which is also the reason why this concept has been copied so many times in books and graphic novels. The seemingly trivial, short, and superficial works are so much more than they seem, they do the same service as very good satire. They

Enlighten kids even more and try to open the ossified minds of the adults
Because one has to face it. After reading, again, one more of these short stories, novellas, and sometimes even full novels, one goes into New Years´Eve good resolutions mode. „I´ll change my mindset, check my cognitive biases, be more objective towards my own beliefs, yada yada yada.“ What´s mostly left after days and weeks is that one is still the same, stubborn, bigoted adult scarred by nature and, by this work, perfectly owned and ridiculed nurture and education.

(Book 574 from 1001 books) - Le Petit Prince = The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

The Little Princeis a novella by French aristocrat, writer, and aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. It was first published in English and French, in April 1943.

The narrator begins with a discussion on the nature of grown-ups and their inability to perceive especially important things.

As a test to determine if a grown-up is enlightened and a child, he shows them a picture that he drew at the age of 6 depicting a snake which has eaten an elephant. The grown-ups always reply that the picture depicts a hat, and so he knows to talk of "reasonable" things to them, rather than fanciful.

The narrator becomes a pilot, and, one day, his plane crashes in the Sahara, far from civilization. He has 8 days of water supply and must fix his airplane to be saved.

In the middle of the desert, the narrator is unexpectedly greeted by a young boy who is nicknamed as "The Little Prince".

The prince has golden hair, a lovable laugh, and will repeat questions until they are answered.

Upon encountering the narrator, the little prince asks him to draw a sheep. The narrator first shows him his old picture of the elephant inside the snake, which, to the narrator's surprise, the prince interprets correctly.

After three failed attempts at drawing a sheep, the frustrated narrator simply draws a box (crate), claiming that the sheep the prince wants is inside the box. Again, to the narrator's surprise, the prince exclaims that this was exactly the drawing he wanted.

(Book 574 from 1001 books) - The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

The Little Prince, first published in April 1943, is a novella, the most famous work of French aristocrat, writer, poet, and pioneering aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

The Little Prince is a poetic tale, with watercolor illustrations by the author, in which a pilot stranded in the desert meets a young prince visiting Earth from a tiny asteroid.

The story is philosophical and includes social criticism of the adult world. It was written during a period when Saint-Exupéry fled to North America subsequent to the Fall of France during the Second World War, witnessed first hand by the author and captured in his memoir Flight to Arras.

The adult fable, according to one review, is actually "...an allegory of Saint-Exupéry's own life—his search for childhood certainties and interior peace, his mysticism, his belief in human courage and brotherhood, and his deep love for his wife Consuelo but also an allusion to the tortured nature of their relationship." ...

The Little Prince is the one book of my childhood that truly wrecked me. Wrecked me, irrevocably.

It is the one story that I swore I'd never read again.

I didn't. I hadn't. I never read it to my son, either.

Then, last week, my middle child, my oldest daughter, discovered the 2015 film of it, and came to me, sobbing, and said, “Mommy, you've just got to watch this movie. It's so beautiful.”

I did. I watched it. It was a good movie, but, as usual, they added parts, they took away parts, they created violence where it wasn't necessary, etc. So, purist that I am, I marched into the library, checked out the book and told my girls, “If you're going to know a story, then learn the original version.”

My hands were shaking this weekend, as I cracked the cover to read it, and the first thing I did was read the backflap, where I was reminded that the author himself went missing a year after the book was published in 1943. I immediately pictured Antoine De Saint-Exupery in his little airplane, crashing somewhere, alone, in the Mediterranean Sea. Pretty disturbing, if you know the premise of this fictional story. The tears started early.

I don't know what it is about these desert stories, but they wreck me, every time. I have never cried harder than after watching Ralph Fiennes in that red airplane, flying over the desert in The English Patient, or after meeting Claudia, in Moon Tiger, and realizing what she has lost, what she will never find again, in those desert sands.

The desert seems to magnify desolation, naturally, by its isolation. It can be a setting for great reflection, great stories, and even greater loss. And, it is here in this desert setting that our crashed pilot meets the little prince, whose life experiences illuminate almost every important lesson we could learn in a lifetime.

Of course I was crying again, but in a good way.

I could just sit here, adding quote after quote from this book on this review. I could advise all men that everything they need to know about women is available to them in the passages between the little prince and the rose. I could advise all parents of young children that this is one of those rare books that reminds you how precious and fleeting your time is with your kids.

But, “language is the source of misunderstandings,” and I'd be better served to invite you to crash in the desert yourself. See if the little prince shows up to speak to you. See what he has to say.40-from-the-1940s books-to-read-during-a-pandemic favorite-books-for-elementary-age ...more257 s chloe248 29.1k

I just can't get over this book. It is absolutely stunning.

This is a book I will continuously re-read throughout my life, and is especially great to read when you are becoming too consumed in the adult world. I'm in my exam period currently, so reading this now was perfect.

I also listened to the audio book for this re-read, and the narrator was perfect for this story (and he is Australian!)2021-reads 5-stars audiobooks ...more262 s Ahmad Sharabiani9,564 149

Uno de los peores libros que he leído en mi vida, experiencia desastrosa.

Calificación real: 0

El principito, al igual que otros libros de la misma temática que buscan ayudarnos a conectarnos con nuestro niño interior, es una de esas obras que se recomiendan leer en nuestra infancia pero sobretodo en nuestra adultez. Cuando somos niños no tenemos responsabilidades, jugamos todo el tiempo y nos la pasamos descubriendo el mundo que nos rodea —o por lo menos si hemos tenido la fortuna de vivir una buena infancia—; pero, cuando nos convertimos en adultos y nos acostumbramos a ese tipo de vida, tarde que temprano llegará el momento en que nos sentiremos atrapados en la cotidianidad, estresados por los millones de problemas que se presentan diariamente, y angustiados por lo que puede deparar nuestro futuro. Y claro, si estamos en ese estado de lamentación, libros como El principito —al igual que los libros de autoayuda— aparecen como la cura milagrosa de nuestros problemas y de la infelicidad que sentimos día tras día. Y no es que eso sea negativo, al contrario, independientemente de si nos gusta, o no leer, los libros son nuestros amigos. Si uno de ellos te ayuda a sentir paz interior o felicidad significará que ese libro es apropiado para ti, sin importar su calidad. Personalmente, pienso que esa ha sido la razón para que El principito tuviera el éxito y la popularidad de la que ha gozado a lo largo de los años: La infelicidad de sus lectores. Sin embargo, si somos neutrales y calificamos este libro por su calidad y no por nuestra emotividad, entenderemos que verdaderamente El principito es un libro pésimo en todo el sentido de la palabra.

Mi experiencia con este libro comenzó a los nueve años cuando cursaba quinto de primaria. Era el mes de junio y como todo niño ansiaba la llegada de las vacaciones de mitad de año para no tener que madrugar por algunos días. Y sí, claro que llegaron las vacaciones, pero lo hicieron en compañía de varios trabajos largos y tediosos que debía entregar una vez regresara a clases. Uno de esos trabajos constaba en leer El principito y realizar un resumen de cuatro páginas en hojas tamaño carta: Parecía un trabajo fácil. No obstante, mi dolor de cabeza comenzó, cuando terminé de leerlo y me percaté de que no había entendido absolutamente nada, a pesar de que era un buen estudiante y entendía rápidamente cualquier tema. Me sentí desesperado porque ya no disponía de tiempo de releerlo, pero, afortunadamente mis hermanos me vieron en apuros y me ayudaron a resolver mi problema... de hecho, ellos me hicieron la tarea. Días después, recibí una buena nota por «mi» trabajo pero internamente me sentí mediocre por no ser capaz de hacer esa tarea. Pasó el tiempo y olvidé el tema, pero, en lo más profundo de mi subconsciente sobrevivió el sentimiento de fracaso. Por ello, en el mes de diciembre cuando misteriosamente una polilla entró revoloteando en mi habitación y se posó en el libro de El principito, sentí que era tiempo de la revancha: Había sido una señal del destino. Dicen que todo tiene su tiempo y este libro es la clara demostración de esa afirmación porque tuvieron que pasar dieciocho años y una polilla para reencontrarme con uno de los karmas de mi infancia. Más sin embargo, lo que no esperaba era que en esta ocasión, otra experiencia negativa me estuviera esperando entre las páginas de El principito.

Empezando por el argumento, este libro nos cuenta la historia de un aviador quien afirma haber conocido al principito luego de sufrir un accidente aéreo en el desierto del Sahara. Allí, el principito le cuenta la historia de su viaje por muchos planetas, y luego cuando llega el momento dado, el principito regresa a su planeta de origen para cuidar a su mejor amiga que es una rosa... y esa es toda la historia, no hay más. Los cuentos de fantasía muchas veces son así como El principito: Sin lógica, sin reglas y sin profundidad. No obstante, una de las características más destacadas de ese tipo de libros es la magia que está oculta en sus palabras. Desafortunadamente, esa magia nunca la sentí en este libro. Ahora, pensarán que ya me convertí en adulto y que por ello no puedo entender el significado del libro, pero no, eso no es así. Si no estuviera conectado con mi niño interior no sería capaz de escribir ni un párrafo al hacer reseñas. Mi mente adulta está cargada de compromisos, apariencias, problemas, lógica, razonamiento, etc., pero ese niño interior es quien tiene la chispa de la creatividad, de la imaginación, de relacionar dos temas sin sentido como por ejemplo una cuchara y el planeta júpiter. Es el alma que me da la energía y la curiosidad, y gracias a él me siento vivo. Por ello, ese pequeño Jesús Steven que llevo adentro, es el que me ha indicado que este libro no tiene magia por ninguna parte. Asimismo, es un texto que está atiborrado de diálogos absurdos y de mensajes erróneamente expresados que buscan hacernos reflexionar forzosamente. La prosa tiene errores gramaticales, frases mal construidas y todo el libro está compuesto de un caótico desorden. Sé que hay millones de seguidores de esta obra y que para muchos este es su libro favorito, pero para mí, sinceramente, lo mejor que tiene esta obra son sus ilustraciones. Esto no es un libro, es un boceto. Estoy seguro que Antoine de Saint-Exupéry fue mil veces mejor aviador que escritor.

Eso sí, aclaro que no estoy en contra de las historias donde un niño aparece mágicamente para dar mensajes y enseñanzas. No lo estoy, porque uno de mis libros favoritos tiene un 90% de similitud con El principito: Ese libro se llama Ami, el niño de las estrellas. De hecho, conocí aquel libro primero que El principito, y aunque reconozco que es una copia del popular libro de Saint-Exupéry, siento que aquella obra de Enrique Barrios ofrece una mejor enseñanza. Esa enseñanza se llama amor. Lo que me parece injusto es que Ami, el niño de las estrellas, sea criticado fuertemente por el intento del autor de influenciar a los niños en la religión —afirmación que no comparto—, pero, de El principito no se menciona nada de ello. Si los libros de autoayuda, los textos religiosos y los libros con algún fin político son cuestionados por la manipulación del autor, entonces El principito también debería ser juzgado del mismo modo porque todo el texto está plagado de ese tipo de ideas. La domesticación; su intento de hacer sentir mal a las personas que no les gusta este libro; la idolatría representada en la forma como el aviador veía al principito; el uso del fracaso como medio para identificarnos con el aviador; pero sobretodo, el desagrado u odio que sentía Saint-Exupéry hacia la vida adulta, son solo pequeñas muestras de su intento por influenciar a los lectores para que no se adapten a una sociedad. A Saint-Exupéry no le interesaba que los lectores lucharan por sus sueños, su verdadera intención es que las personas estuvieran en contra de la sociedad porque la odiaba, es muy notable. Este libro solo es un mensaje de odio disfrazado de inocencia, amor, amistad, ternura y belleza. Solo es un libro más que busca alterar la forma como el lector piensa. ¿Por qué tantos lo aclaman y no se dan cuenta de algo tan obvio? No lo entiendo.

Tampoco sentí simpatía por los personajes. El principito solo me pareció un niño ingenuo y preguntón que no entiende nada de la vida, pero que sí se atreve a cuestionar y juzgar el comportamiento de los hombres, sin conocerlos. Esa situación se asemejaría por ejemplo, si viajáramos a un país con una cultura muy diferente a la nuestra, y al llegar empezáramos a juzgar y criticar a los habitantes del lugar por sus comportamientos, creencias y vestimenta: Sería ilógico juzgarlos. Sí, podríamos opinar, pero solo conociendo las razones que han llevado a esos seres a vivir la vida que poseen. El principito puede venir de Mercurio, de Plutón o de la constelación de Andrómeda, pero él, no es nadie para venir a criticar a seres que no conoce. Vivía con una rosa y se hartó de ella, no es una sorpresa que al llegar a otros mundos se comportara de la misma manera. Sin embargo, podría decirse que al fin y al cabo el principito es un niño y que es normal su imprudencia y tendencia a equivocarse; pero, el que no tiene excusa es el aviador: Él es el culpable de todo. El aviador encontró un niño en un desierto y solo porque él tenía imaginación, resultó idolatrándolo como un dios: Ilógico, completamente ilógico. Todo lo que dijo el principito al aviador le pareció espectacular, mágico y sabio; tanto así, que para el aviador se convirtió en una necesidad estar cerca de él. Yo, creería, que perderse en un desierto y estar en riesgo de muerte, puede alterar nuestra mente por lo que esa sería la explicación al comportamiento inusual del aviador. Para mí, el aviador perdió la cordura. El principito solo era un niño común y corriente, sin ninguna habilidad extraordinaria. Quizás nunca existió, quizás solo fue producto de la imaginación del aviador. Si eso fuera así, eso lo explicaría todo.

Viéndolo de este modo, y teorizando un poco, podría decirse que si se toma El principito como la historia de un demente, entonces este libro sí sería una genialidad. La mala redacción, las frases sin sentido y la historia absurda, solo así tendrían sentido. ¿Qué fue lo que realmente Saint-Exupéry escribió? ¿Hemos estado malinterpretando todo este tiempo esta historia? Para averiguarlo tendríamos que regresar en el tiempo y preguntárselo en persona a Saint-Exupéry, no hay otra forma; por lo tanto, que cada quien crea lo que desee pensar porque no podemos resolver esas preguntas. Sin embargo, esta extraña posibilidad podría convertir este libro en una gran ironía. ¿Por qué? Porque durante varias generaciones este es uno de nuestros primeros libros de la infancia. ¿Hemos leído un libro para niños, o la oscura historia de un demente? No quiero persuadir a nadie con esta idea; de hecho, ni siquiera yo creo en ello, pero es una posibilidad que se me ocurrió en el mismísimo instante en que escribí el párrafo anterior y me pareció interesante compartirla con todos ustedes.

En resumen, El principito es un libro que está orientado para las personas que no están acostumbradas a leer, pero que buscan encontrar en un texto el camino que sienten que han perdido. Si ya se tiene experiencia leyendo, o no estamos desesperados por la infelicidad, es mejor no leer este libro. Puede ser un clásico, pero personalmente siento que no debería serlo por la pobre calidad de la que está compuesto. Asimismo, si leyeron este libro hace mucho tiempo y tienen una imagen positiva del principito, puede que cuando lo relean cambie la perspectiva y sensaciones que tuvieron en su primera lectura; a menos, que este libro los haya ayudado en sus momentos difíciles. De ser así, a pesar de releerlo mil veces, El principito siempre será un gran amigo para ustedes.

Ahora, basándome en mis dos lecturas y las experiencias desastrosas que he vivenciado, siento que no hay razón para volver a leer este libro nunca más. Cuando recién finalicé mi segunda lectura, planeaba puntuarlo con dos estrellas, pero ahora que lo pienso eso no es justo. Hay libros que he calificado con esa puntuación pero por lo menos tienen virtudes para destacar. No puedo puntuar con dos estrellas un libro donde lo más destacado son sus ilustraciones: Sería un desatino hacerlo. Por lo tanto, mi calificación es de 0 estrellas. childrens classics fantasy247 s1 comment Stephen1,516 11.7k

A "Daddy/Daughter nighttime reading hour" review

This was a toughy for me to review. I wasn't sure of the best perspective from which to provide comments so as to be of assistance to my fellow readers since this is a children's book (rather than YA which would be reviewed purely on its own merits). After a short session of "what should I do," I bravely decided to punt, figuring that there are already more than enough excellent of this without my clogging up the cyber arteries with another one. Therefore, I decided simply to share my experience of reading/listening to the book with my daughter along with a couple of thoughts on the concepts discussed in the story and hope that you can take something useful from it.

So as part of our nightly routine, my youngest daughter, Sydney, and I have daddy/princess read time. The other night, she and I listened to the audio version of The Little Prince while we read along with a copy of the book. As usual, it was an AMAZING experience. I am convinced that I learn more about the stories we read from her and her reactions to the narrative than she does from me...and I love it.

It's only a two hour audio (86 pages) and yet the two of us spent close to 4 hours listening and talking about the various chapters in the story (plus a brief 15 minute break for Mom to give her a bath while Dad helped big sister Kenzie with her math homework). Sydney had all kinds of questions (some just hysterically funny in how much sense they made from a kid-centric view of the world). We would stop the story after each planet or character to talk about what she thought the story meant and what messages the story was trying to deliver.
For those of you with children, you know how wonderful this can be and I was on the ninth cloud watching my little girl ponder over the book.

From this perspective, the story was perfect and deserves an easy 5 stars. However, since it's not very helpful to rate a book based on that kind of non-transferable experience, I didn't want to rely solely on that for its final rating.

After explaining to Syd the goodreads star system, she would give this 4 stars as she really d the British accent of the narrator and the crazy adventures the Prince experiences on the various planets. BTW, from Sydney's point of view, 4 stars is the absolute ceiling for any book dealing with ickies boys and this would easily earn 5 stars had the story been called the "The Little Princess." Princes are still second class citizens at this stage in her life...and Dad is oh, oh, OH so perfectly fine with that).

For me, looking at this sans Sydney, I d it but was not smitten with it enough to go higher than 3 stars. The story is well written and has something to say about the human condition and how people spend too much of their lives focusing on the wrong things and not enough time enjoying where they are. A nice message and one I was happy to expose Sydney to, but I was not always enamored with the path the author took to get there.

Overall, a good read on its own and a potentially a great experience if shared with your children...as most things in life are.

“It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”

I remember, when I was little, I had this round CD case and it contained an audiobook. Now as a child I loved audiobooks, or someone reading stories to me. Still do today, actually. Anyway, the audiobook was titled The Little Prince, and I listened to it quite often. That, however, was at least 10 years ago, possibly more. So I decided that it was time for a reread. (I'm sorry to say that I cannot find the CD anywhere. Maybe my mom gave it away.)

Rereading this brought up nostalgia and melancholia. This is a very cute, very sad book, and I don't the ending very much. I don't understand why the Prince couldn't just fly back to his planet. You know, instead of dying. Or did he die? Didn't he? I think he just left his body behind and returned anyway. But still...why make it so sad when it was already sad enough?

This is a beautiful tale of childhood, love and friendship. One that I wouldn't have wanted to miss.
