Decorative resin figurine magnet Enesco The Little Prince in an airplane. Height: 6cm.
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 simple and uncluttered language, because it is intended 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 perplexed 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 master qualities of the work.
It can be read as an invitation from the author to find 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".
