"He aquà mi secreto, que no puede ser más simple: solo con el corazón se puede ver bien; lo esencial es invisible a los ojos".
Autorretrato y obra testamentaria, fábula mÃtica y relato filosófico que interroga acerca de la relación del ser humano con su prójimo y con el mundo, El Principito concentra, con maravillosa simplicidad, la larga y constante reflexión de Saint-Exupéry sobre la amistad, el amor, la responsabilidad y el sentido de la vida, en un contexto marcado por el conflicto mundial y el desasosiego de un escritor piloto profundamente afectado por su soledad. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The Little Prince is a classic tale of equal appeal to children and adults. On one level it is the story of an airman's discovery, in the desert, of a small boy from another planet - the Little Prince of the title - and his stories of intergalactic travel, while on the other hand it is a thought-provoking allegory of the human condition. The Little Prince has been selected as a Common Core Text Exemplar (Grades 4-5, Stories).Antoine de Saint-Exupéry nace en Lyón el 29 de junio de 1900 en el seno de una antigua familia aristocrática. Tras recibir educación en diversos colegios religiosos, al término de sus estudios secundarios intenta entrar en la Escuela Naval, pero no aprueba los exámenes de ingreso. En 1920 cumple el servicio militar en la Fuerza Aérea, y a partir de entonces la aviación se convierte en la gran pasión de su vida.
Su primer cuento ve la luz en 1926, el mismo año en que comienza su carrera de piloto en la compañía Latécoère. Poco después es destinado a Cabo Juby, donde escribe su primera novela, Correo del sur (1928). De África se traslada a Sudamérica con el encargo de establecer nuevas líneas comerciales. Allí concluye Vuelo nocturno, que se publica en 1931 con enorme éxito y obtiene el premio Fémina. A partir de 1935, Saint-Exupéry trabaja como corresponsal de los periódicos Intransigeant y Paris Soir en Rusia y España, y con su avión Simoun participa en diversos raids como el París-Saigón y el Nueva York-Tierra del Fuego. Todos estos recuerdos, acumulados en diez años de vida aventurera, los vuelca en su novela Tierra de hombres (1939). A los pocos meses, desatada la Segunda Guerra Mundial, combate como piloto de reconocimiento y, tras la caída de Francia, se instala en Nueva York. En la gran ciudad norteamericana escribe Piloto de guerra (1942), fruto de sus experiencias durante la contienda, y El Principito (1943), cuento infantil de gran originalidad que lo hizo universalmente famoso y que se ha convertido en uno de los fenómenos literarios más importantes de este siglo. En breve se reincorpora al servicio activo en el norte de África, donde escribe una obra de reflexiones filosóficas y políticas titulada Ciudadela, que sería publicada póstumamente (1948). El 31 de julio de 1944, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry despega de un campo de aviación de Córcega para cumplir una misión de la que no regresaría jamás.• Author(s): Clear | James • Publisher: Penguin • Publisher Imprint: Penguin Random House • Subject: General Books
