The Little Prince

The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint‑Exupéry is a timeless fable for both children and adults. In the desert, a stranded pilot meets the little prince, who travels across planets and meets many strange grown-ups. Those adults care only about power, fame and money, blind to the true value of life. The core idea is “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.” The prince learns the meaning of taming: love and responsibility make his rose unique among thousands. The story tells us not to lose our inner innocence in the busy adult world. This short book is full of warm wisdom and worth reading repeatedly.
