    Flight to Arras by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (teknochik)
    teknochik: NObody seems to know this fabulous book. It is a reflective memoire by St Expery as he was piloting a reconnaissance mission over Germany in WW2. It is a beautiful commentary on war and what it does to humanity. Possibly one of the most hidden and understated gems of the 20th century. When I read this book, I suddenly understood "The Little Prince" with far more depth.… (more)

very nice and cute. ( )

I didn't know what to expect with this book, but it was so good! So cute with an unexpected ending. The illustration were gorgeous. I really, really liked the book and will probably read it again. Definitely worth the quick read. ( )
  Beammey | Dec 21, 2024 |
The Little Prince follows a young prince who travels between planets, meeting characters that symbolize different aspects of human nature. Through his encounters, the prince teaches the narrator about love, friendship, and the importance of looking beyond appearances. The book explores themes of life, loss, and growing up, offering philosophical insights in a simple, charming way.

With its symbolism, The Little Prince can be used in English Language Arts and philosophy, making it ideal for discussing human relationships, personal growth, and existentialism. It resonates with readers of all ages, particularly middle-grade students and young adults. ( )

Oh, that was sad?! But maybe I'm just a grown-up who doesn't understand. Very sweet and insightful, my 8 year old enjoyed reading with me. ( )

mother/daughter book club with the oldest

I don't know. I know this has very good moral lessons in it - but it felt too much like lessons. I don't much enjoy a book that feels like working on school work with my kids.

and the end. wow, I don't know if I want to teach my kids that! ( )

35 livres cultes à lire au moins une fois dans sa vie
Quels sont les romans qu'il faut avoir lu absolument ? Un livre culte qui transcende, fait réfléchir, frissonner, rire ou pleurer… La littérature est indéniablement créatrice d’émotions. Si vous êtes adeptes des classiques, ces titres devraient vous plaire.
De temps en temps, il n'y a vraiment rien de mieux que de se poser devant un bon bouquin, et d'oublier un instant le monde réel. Mais si vous êtes une grosse lectrice ou un gros lecteur, et que vous avez épuisé le stock de votre bibliothèque personnelle, laissez-vous tenter par ces quelques classiques de la littérature.
 
"Il Piccolo Principe" è una di quelle letture che entrano nell'animo del lettore. Antoine de Saint- Exupéry con il suo stile semplice e poetico mette il lettore davanti ad una riflessione sul senso vero della vita e sull'importanza di coltivare i sentimenti. Una fiaba senza età e per ogni età, da leggere e rileggere.
Vi segnaliamo la pagina del blog di Liberrima in cui parliamo del racconto dello scrittore francese:

http://www.librerialiberrima.blogspot...
 
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, most metaphysical of aviators, has written a fairy tale for grownups. The symbolism is delicate and tenuous. It challenges man the adult, and deplores the loss of the child in man.
added by Shortride | editTime (Apr 26, 1943)
 
"The Little Prince" is a parable for grown people in the guise of a simple story for children-a fable with delightful delicate pictures of the little Prince on his adventurings. It is a lovely story in itself hich covers a poetic, yearning philosophy- not the sort of fable that can be tacked down neatly at its four corners but rather reflections on what are real matters of consequence.
