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.

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 !
