As he says goodbye to his friend, the fox tells the Little Prince, “Here is my secret. It’s quite simple: One sees clearly only with the heart. Anything essential is invisible to the eyes.”
The Little Prince teaches us to acquire what is essential to the greatest works of imagination: the magical throbbing of the heart, defining us as human beings, connecting us to one another, giving us a reason to live, a way to survive, and to understand not just the value of happiness and love, but their close proximity to pain and loss. Without knowing it, we experience that sense of deep anguish mixed with the joy of creation that is the source of all beauty.
Often seen as a symbol of childhood innocence, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's delightful The Little Prince has been translated into over 180 languages and sold over 80 million copies.
This beautiful collectible edition contains the definitive translation and all the original illustrations along with additional modern renditions.
