Antoine de saint exupéry was a french writer,poet,journalist who has won France's highest literary awards and also the US national book award. One of his finest works include the 64 page novella - The little prince.
Prior to the war, The little prince was translated into over 250 languages and dialects.
My point of view
Interestingly the author of our story ,here, was a successful pilot and the story itself also starts with a similar lifestyle. Probably because we write best about things we can directly or closely relate to (in my opinion). Then comes imagination and creativity(again, in my opinion).
Sir Antoine has written a beautiful novella for no particular age group. It's an illustrative text with easy vocabulary, also containing humorous parts for the reader to enjoy.
However if read through carefully, very major and important issues have been raised in this literary piece.
I shall not give out the suspense or even hint you with his intelligent and wistful frames. Mostly (till where I have read yet) it questions the systematic and so called thoughtful and practical behaviour of the grown ups. It talks about how one's light can be another one's darkness. It gives out beautifully weaved trick lines. One of my favourite talking about a sheep being able to eat a huge plant. How? You shall figure out. I strongly recommend everyone to read this book.
