Little Prince Penguin Modern Classics - A. de Saint-Exupery
Antoine de Saint-Exupery first published The Little Prince in 1943, only a year before his plane vanished over the Mediterranean during a reconnaissance mission. The narrator is a downed pilot in the Sahara Desert, frantically trying to repair his wrecked plane.His efforts are interrupted one day by the apparition of a little prince, who asks him to draw a sheep. Nearly eighty years later, this fable of love and loneliness has lost none of its power.
"Absurd as it seemed, a thousand miles from all inhabited regions and in danger of death, I took a scrap of paper and a pen out of my pocket." And so begins their dialogue, which stretches the narrator's imagination in all sorts of surprising, childlike directions. "In the face of an overpowering mystery, you don't dare disobey," the narrator recalls.
