Decorative resin figurine magnet by Enesco featuring The Little Prince on a Rainbow. Height: 8.2cm.
The Little Prince is a French-language work, the most famous by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Published in 1943 in New York simultaneously with its English translation, it is a poetic and philosophical tale in the guise of a children's story.
The language, simple and stripped-down, because it is meant to be understood by children, is in reality, for the narrator, the privileged vehicle of a symbolic conception of life. Each chapter recounts an encounter of the little prince that leaves him puzzled by the absurd behavior of "grown-ups". Each of these encounters can be read as an allegory.
The watercolors are part of the text and contribute to this purity of language: simplicity and depth are the masterful qualities of the work.
One can read in it an invitation from the author to rediscover the child within oneself, because "all grown-ups were once children. (But few of them remember it.)". The work is dedicated to Léon Werth, but "when he was a little boy".
