The Little Prince

The Little Prince

In 1943, Antoine De Saint-Exupery published The Little Prince.
Appearing to be a short story at first glance, after a closer look a
deeper message appears. The narrator has crashed his airplane in the
middle of the Sahara desert, only to find a young boy sitting there,
watching intently. Over the next eight days, the little prince tells
his story of how he left his home planet, Asteroid-B 619 and traveled
to Earth. On the way, he visited four planets, each inhabited by an
increasingly foolish man, while on the fifth lives one of the wisest
of all. He then lands on Earth and meets the narrator, teaching him a
valuable lesson that we should all take into consideration. "Eyes are
blind. You have to look with the heart."
