This book is a gem. Bits of wisdom gleaned from the works of Exupery on Love, Friendship and more.
I couldn't put it down and would be looking at it write now if I hadn't given it to my mom and ordered myself another copy.
It's expressions of true friendships, long friendships, were so beautiful and true to life. They came the closest to describing how I feel about my oldest and dearest friends.
The thoughts on love were very similar. Exupery could capture the feelings, and put them on the page so you could feel them again and understand them perhaps for the first time.
A beautiful book, everyone should own and treasure.
A very short book, but one full of very deep and wise thoughts. The Little Prince is one of my all-time favorite books, but there are quotes here from Antoine de Saint-Exupery's other books which I have not read. "One sees clearly only with the heart. Anything essential is invisible to the eyes."
“And a little child shall lead them.” I love the curious nature of this book and its simple, but profound observations. One truth that I’ll hold on to is that as I journey through life, as the Little Prince does the universe, I realize more and more how small I am amidst the grandeur, the possibilities, the beauty. My purchase of the 75th anniversary edition was beautifully illustrated with the author’s original sketches and biographical information! A children’s treasure that teaches adults the best way to live.
Es el resumen de los pensamientos de Saint-Exupery como piloto y ser humano que somos todos. Es lectura obligada para todos niños y en especial adultos que apreciar haber sido niños y han madurado sabiamente!
