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 whom 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 Saint-Exupéry as a children's story for adults, and it works on several levels as an allegory of his own life, or of the human condition. Children love it for its deadpan fantasy, for its sense of amused bafflement at the grown-up world and for the author's attractive watercolour illustrations which are an integral part of the book.

O sigui que he viscut sol, sense ningú amb qui de veritat poder parlar, fins que vaig tenir una avaria al desert del Sahara, fa sis anys. S'havia trencat alguna cosa del motor. I com que no anava amb cap mecànic ni amb cap passatger, em vaig preparar per mirar de fer, tot sol, una reparació difícil. Per mi era una qüestió de vida o mort. Amb prou feines tenia aigua per beure per a vuit dies.La primera nit, doncs, em vaig adormir a la sorra a mil milles de cap terra habitada. Estava molt més aïllat que un nàufrag en un rai al mig de l'oceà. O sigui que imagineu-vos la sorpresa que vaig tenir, a trenc d'alba, quan una veueta molt especial em va despertar. Deia:?Si us plau... dibuixa'm un be!?Eh!??Dibuixa'm un be...

De los tres pilotos que surcan los mares de la noche por el cielo de Sudamérica, uno de ellos, perdido en una tempestad de nieve y fuego, no volverá. Entre tanto, Rivière, el creador de los vuelos nocturnos, un personaje duro e inflexible, empieza a preguntarse por el sentido de su vida y de su obra, hasta tomar una decisión que parece inhumana por inexpresable. Vuelo nocturno es la epopeya de aquellos pioneros de la aviación que ofrendaron sus vidas en aras de la acción y del progreso. Saint-Exupéry, que conocía por experiencia propia lo narrado, consiguió trasmitir al relato la fuerza y el calor de lo vivido, en un estilo conciso, pero épico y lírico a la vez.

Few books have been as universally cherished by children and adults alike as The Little Prince. A beautiful gift edition of this touching and wise classic children's book, with the original translation by Katherine Woods and full-colour illustrations. A pilot stranded in the desert awakes one morning to see the most extraordinary little fellow standing before him. “Please,… asks the stranger, “draw me a sheep.… And the pilot realises that when life’s events are too difficult to understand, there is no choice but to succumb to their mysteries. He pulls out a pencil and paper … and thus begins this wise and enchanting fable that, in teaching the secret of what is really important in life, has changed the world forever for its readers. This stunning new edition of the classic children's book The Little Prince, includes the classic English translation by Katherine Woods and original colour illustrations which will capture the hearts of readers of all ages. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900-1944) was born in Lyons, France. He wrote The Little Prince in the United States during a two-year self-imposed exile from occupied France. A year after the book’s publication in 1943, Saint-Exupéry disappeared over the Mediterranean while flying a reconnaissance mission for his French air squadron. Best known throughout the world as the author and illustrator of The Little Prince, Saint-Exupéry wrote several other books that have also become classics of world literature. Katherine Woods (1886-1968) produced the original English translation of The Little Prince in 1943. It was later followed by several other English translations, but her classic translation is treasured by fans and is often considered to be the definitive English translation. Her poetic translation perfectly captures the enchantment and charm of Saint-Exupéry’s storytelling.
