2025/147 | ANTOINE DE SAINT-EXUPÉRY - "THE LITTLE PRINCE"


SYNOPSIS

A pilot stranded in the desert awakes one morning to see, standing before him, the most extraordinary little fellow. "Please," asks the stranger, "draw me a sheep." And the pilot realizes that when life's events are too difficult to understand, there is no choice but to succumb to their mysteries. He pulls out 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 forever the world for its readers.


READING EXPERIENCE

Honestly, I didn’t expect the ending to be like that. In my mind, this was supposed to be a children’s book. But after reading it, I have to ask—is it really just a children’s book?

I’m still not sure what to make of the story. It’s raw and emotionally overwhelming. It’s definitely sad, but there’s so much more woven into it—grief, wonder, love, and loss. I didn’t realize how much of my own innocence I had lost until I reached the final page. It hit me like a quiet shock.

I know one thing for certain: I’ll be rereading this in the future, slowly, and dissecting my feelings chapter by chapter.

My favorite quote from the book:

"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."
