Fábula mítica y relato filosófico que interroga acerca de la relación del ser humano con su prójimo y con el mundo, El Principito concentra, con maravillosa simplicidad, la constante reflexión de Saint-Exupéry sobre la amistad, el amor, la responsabilidad y el sentido de la vida. Viví así, solo, sin nadie con quien hablar verdaderamente, hasta que tuve una avería en el desierto del Sahara, hace seis años. Algo se había roto en mi motor. Y como no tenía conmigo ni mecánico ni pasajeros, me dispuse a realizar, solo, una reparación difícil. Era, para mí, cuestión de vida o muerte. Tenía agua apenas para ocho días. La primera noche dormí sobre la arena a mil millas de todatierra habitada. Estaba más aislado que un náufrago sobre una balsa en medio del océano. Imaginaos, pues, mi sorpresa cuando, al romper el día, me despertó una extraña vocecita que decía: -Por favor..., ¡dibújame un cordero! -¿Eh!? -Dibújame un cordero... ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "A mythical fable and philosophical story that calls into question the relationship of a human being with his neighbor and with the world, The Little Prince distills, with wonderful simplicity, Saint-Exupéry''s constant reflection on friendship, love, responsibility, and meaning of the life. I lived like this, alone, with no one to truly talk to, until I had a breakdown in the Sahara Desert six years ago. Something had broken in my engine. And since I had neither a mechanic nor passengers with me, I set out to make the difficult repair alone. It was, for me, a matter of life and death. I had water for only eight days. The first night I slept on the sand a thousand miles from any inhabited land. I was more isolated than a castaway on a raft in the middle of the ocean. Imagine, then, my surprise when, at daybreak, a strange little voice woke me up that said: -Please... draw me a lamb! -Huh!? -Draw me a lamb... "

A beautiful hardcover edition of one of the bestselling classic children''s stories in the world—long cherished by children and adults alike. Written during World War II, The Little Prince tells of the friendship between the narrator, an aviator stranded in the Sahara desert, and a mysterious boy he encounters there. Ruler of a tiny asteroid of which he is the only inhabitant, the Little Prince chats disarmingly about his curious adventures in space and since arriving on earth; of his distant home; and of his love for a beautiful and capricious rose, to whom he longs to return. A moving and deceptively simple tale, it was described by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry as a children''s story for adults, and it works on several levels as an allegory of his own life and of the human condition. Children love it for its deadpan fantasy, for its sense of baffled amusement at the grown-up world, and for the author''s whimsical watercolour illustrations, which are an integral part of the book." Everyman''s Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, and European-style half-round spines.

ANTOINE DE SAINT-EXUP�RY (1900-1944). Intens�ment impliqu� dans les premi�res ann�es de l�aviation commerciale, ses romans sont intimement li�s � ses exp�riences en tant que pilote. Employ� par la compagnie Lat�co�re, il s�en chargera du courrier de Toulouse au S�n�gal, parcours qui se prolongera jusqu�en Am�rique du Sud en 1929. � partir de 1932, il se consacrera � l��criture et au journalisme, ce qui l�am�nera au Vietnam, � Moscou et � l�Espagne de la guerre civile. Pendant la deuxi�me Guerre Mondiale, il deviendra l�une des voix de la R�sistance et � New-York il essaiera de faire entrer les am�ricains dans le conflit. Au printemps 44, il rejoindra une patrouille de reconnaissance bas� en Sardaigne, puis en Corse, et le 31 juillet de cette ann�e son avion dispara�tra en mer et ne sera retrouv� qu�en 2000. Vol de nuit (1931), raconte les exploits des pionniers de l�a�ropostale, concr�tement � la ligne Patagonie, Chili et Paraguay. Lorsque les instruments de vol et de pr�vision m�t�orologique sont encore plong�s dans leur enfance balbutiante, la nuit, pour les pilotes, devient un espace plein de myst�re et de danger. Dans ces circonstances, la seule et unique boussole pour ces hommes est l�accomplissement du devoir.

În Zbor de noapte, roman distins cu Premiul Femina, Fabien, un pilot care duce corespondența din sudul extrem la Buenos Aires, se confruntă cu o furtună violentă. Trecând peste nori pentru a scăpa de furtună, Fabien descoperă curând că a deviat de la curs, că zboară peste mare și că rezerva de combustibil nu-i va permite să se întoarcă la sol... Pilot de război, povestea unei misiuni efectuate de autor în nordul Franței în 1940, și Pământ al oamenilor, carte distinsă cu Marele Premiu pentru Roman al Academiei Franceze, volum ce relatează un accident aviatic al scriitorului deasupra Saharei, redau, la rândul lor, filosofia de viață impregnată de umanism a lui Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Eroul din Zbor de noapte, nedezumanizat, categoric, se ridică la înălțimea unei virtuți supraomenești. Cred că ceea ce îmi place în special la această povestire tulburătoare este noblețea ei... Tot ceea ce Saint-Exupéry povestește o face în „cunoștință de cauză”. Înfruntarea personală a unei frecvente primejdii dă cărții sale o savoare autentică și de neimitat... Această povestire, căreia îi admir, desigur, valoarea literară, are pe de altă parte, și valoarea unui document, iar aceste două calități, atât de nesperat unite, dau Zborului de noapte o însemnătate excepțională. André Gide

Imaginez-vous perdu dans le désert, loin de tout lieu habité, et face à un petit garçon tout blond, surgi de nulle part. Si de surcroît ce petit garçon vous demande avec insistance de dessiner un mouton, vous voilà plus qu''étonné ! À partir de là, vous n''aurez plus qu''une seule interrogation: savoir d''où vient cet étrange petit bonhomme et connaître son histoire. S''ouvre alors un monde étrange et poétique, peuplé de métaphores, décrit à travers les paroles d''un "petit prince" qui porte aussi sur notre monde à nous un regard tout neuf, empli de naïveté, de fraîcheur et de gravité. Très vite, vous découvrez d''étranges planètes, peuplées d''hommes d''affaires, de buveurs, de vaniteux, d''allumeurs de réverbères. Cette évocation onirique, à laquelle participent les aquarelles de l''auteur, a tout d''un parcours initiatique, où l''enfant apprendra les richesses essentielles des rapports humains et le secret qui les régit: "On ne voit bien qu''avec le coeur, l''essentiel est invisible pour les yeux." Oeuvre essentielle de la littérature, ce livre de Saint-Exupéry est un ouvrage que l''on aura à coeur de raconter à son enfant, page après page, histoire aussi de redécouvrir l''enfant que l''on était autrefois, avant de devenir une grande personne !

Der kleine Prinz modern: Im Jahr 1943 veröffentlicht der französische Autor Antoine de Saint-Exupéry im Exil in New York seinen kleinen Prinzen. Knapp siebzig Jahre später übersetzt sein Landsmann Joann Sfar den Welterfolg in eine Graphic Novel. Die lieblichen Illustrationen des Klassikers interpretiert er modern schrill in Farb und Form. Diese ungewohnten Bilder ziehen die Aufmerksamkeit auf sich und der Text droht aus dem Fokus zu geraten. Dennoch verliert Exupérys Plädoyer für Freundschaft und Aufrichtigkeit nichts an ihrem Tiefgang und Sfar bleibt der Originalerzählung treu. Dies übrigens auch bezüglich der ursprünglichen Illustrationen. So bleibt der kleine Prinz ein Blondschopf in froschgrüner Kleidung mit windverwehtem Schal. Darüberhinaus untermalt Sfars Farbenpracht vielerorts die Stimmungen und fängt eine Möglichkeit vieler Vorstellungen ein. Eine durchwegs gelungene Interpretation des weltberühmten Klassikers! Ab 8 Jahren, ****, David Schneider.

Surat kepada Seorang Tawanan diterbitkan di New York pada Februari 1943, dua bulan sebelum Pangeran Kecil. Karya ini merupakan komentar yang matang terhadap cerita anak yang kemudian menyusulnya. Di dalam kedua karya ini, Saint-Exupéry tidak bermaksud untuk menyuguhkan sebuah sistem keyakinan yang teoretis sebagaimana ia mengulang-ulang pekerjaannya dalam menyajikan gambar-gambar yang berbelit-belit. Karya-karya ini memiliki tujuan yang menghibur: Surat kepada Seorang Tawanan dan Pangeran Kecil dipersembahkan untuk seorang sahabat karib Saint-Exupéry, seorang tokoh berkebangsaan Prancis-Yahudi yang juga seorang pengagum kedamaian, Leon Werth. Semenjak 1940, masyarakat Prancis-Yahudi—yang hidup di daerah jajahan di bawah pemerintahan Vichy—telah menjadi sasaran dari penerapan Undang-Undang Anti-Semit yang mengarah pada tindakan pembuangan masal. Surat kepada Seorang Tawanan menyuguhkan kepada para pembaca yang berada di Amerika kondisi kota-kota kelabu pada masa peperangan di Eropa dan kabar-kabar burung yang tersebar di Lisbon. Kapal hantu yang melambangkan sebuah pengasingan dalam Surat kepada Seorang Tawanan, yang masa depannya tergantung pada masa lalunya, sesungguhnya juga merupakan kiasan dari kapal yang sebenarnya—Prancis yang berlabuh di dalam gelapnya malam—yang penuh dengan penumpang-penumpang dari masa pendudukan lalu yang berusaha menggapai masa depan yang pasti, yang hening tetapi utuh. Pengantar Surat kepada Seorang Tawanan adalah karya pendahulu Pangeran Kecil. Karya ini bisa dibilang sebagai pengantar atau komentar yang lebih serius dan mendalam tentang apa yang sesungguhnya terjadi pada masa-masa peperangan Eropa dan penindasan terhadap kaum Yahudi.
