"The Little Prince" is a novella written by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. It tells the story of a young prince who travels from one planet to another, encountering various inhabitants and learning valuable life lessons. The book begins with the narrator, a pilot, crashing his plane in the desert and meeting the little prince who asks him to draw a sheep. Through their conversations, the prince reveals his journey and observations about grown-ups and their priorities. The little prince recounts his visits to different planets, each inhabited by a unique character symbolizing a certain aspect of human nature. He meets a king who claims to rule over everything but has no actual subjects, a conceited man seeking admiration, a drunkard escaping his shame, a businessman obsessed with counting stars, and a geographer who knows nothing about his own planet. The prince's most significant encounter is with a fox, who teaches him about taming and friendship. The fox explains that what makes things meaningful is invisible to the eye, emphasizing the importance of building connections and caring for others. This lesson becomes crucial as the prince eventually arrives on Earth, where he befriends a snake and encounters several people whose values are misguided. Throughout the story, the prince longs to return to his beloved rose on his home planet, understanding that love requires effort and commitment. In the end, the prince sacrifices himself to the venomous bite of a snake, returning to his asteroid and leaving the pilot pondering the lessons learned from the little prince's journey. "The Little Prince" explores themes such as the loss of innocence, the importance of imagination, the meaning of friendship and love, and the absurdity of adult life. It serves as a reminder to prioritize what truly matters and to preserve the childlike wonder and curiosity within us.
