The Little Prince, the eternal novel that nobody can forget to read

The Little Prince

"The Little Prince" is one of the books that everyone should read. Also, this is a book worth reading at least twice, once as children and once as adults. The concerns of this endearing character make this short novel a read full of emotions, pulling feelings from where we did not think we had them.

We could talk about technicalities. As it is the most famous of the novels written by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, which was written during the author's exile in the United States, which was first published in 1946 by Reynal & Hitchcock. But this book doesn't deserve to be talked about like that. It deserves to be treated with passion.

The Little Prince is a child from the asteroid B 6212 who, from planet to planet, meets the most peculiar characters until he reaches earth. In the middle of the Sahara Desert, the little boy meets a lost aviator whom something that goes beyond what we know as friendship will unite them.

In the mind of a child, it is still a tale that tells the story of the adventures of another child. Everything is very magical and fanciful. But when we grow up and become "serious people" talking about "serious things," it doesn't hurt to dust that book, which we forgot years ago, and take a look at it. And it seems incredible how such a thin book, with drawings and so easy to read, can change our vision of life in just half an hour. 

It is not one of the best selling books of all time just because. Nor is it the most widely read in France solely because its author was French. The reason why "The Little Prince" is and will be a best sellers until eternity is as follows: It is an ode to friendship, love, respect and a sense of responsibility.

The story of that boy who never gives up a question he has already asked but who, nevertheless, never gives answers. A child who loved his flower more than any other, because it was his, because he watered it, protected it from the wind, loved it despite his whims. The child who does not understand the concerns of adults because they lack the basic principles.

So when you feel out of place, when everything bothers you, when life becomes a constant concern, pick up the book and unleash the anger and anguish that you carry inside.

This is not only the best book you can give, but also the best gift you will give yourself.

If you don't have the book at hand, don't miss some of the most notable phrases from the little prince.

    It is a novel that I will never forget because of the teachings that lead to internalize the feelings that are appropriated in one.
