Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's The Little Prince, a beloved fable of childhood wonder and wisdom, invites readers on a journey through the cosmos, where a young prince travels from one distant planet to another, meeting eccentric characters who embody the complexities of the adult world. Through encounters with a pilot stranded in the desert, a rose and a fox, the Little Prince imparts profound lessons about love, loss and the importance of seeing with the heart rather than the eyes. First published in 1943, The Little Prince transcends the simplicity of a children's story, offering a meditation on the deeper truths of human existence. With its poetic prose, allegorical richness and universal themes, Saint-Exupéry's work has become a cherished masterpiece, enchanting readers of all ages with its timeless message of hope, connection and the essential things often invisible to the eye.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900–1944) was a French writer, poet and aviator whose life was as adventurous as his literary pursuits. Born into an aristocratic family, he developed an early passion for aviation, which became a defining feature of his life. Saint-Exupéry’s experiences as a pioneering airmail pilot in the early days of commercial aviation deeply influenced his worldview, instilling in him a profound appreciation for the fragility of human existence and the importance of connection. During World War II, while serving as a reconnaissance pilot for the Free French Air Force, Saint-Exupéry disappeared during a mission in 1944 and his fate remains a mystery. The Little Prince, first published in 1943, has since become one of the world’s most translated and best-loved books, celebrated for its poignant reflections on love, loss and the essence of childhood. His literary career intertwined with his aviation adventures, exploring the themes of human endurance, search for meaning and the delicate balance between life and death. His legacy endures, not only through his writings but also through his devotion to the ideals of courage, humanity and exploration.
