Book Reviews of Le Petit Prince (French Language Edition)
Book Review: I love this book! It's amazing!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this book. I have read this book in three different languages (german, english and french). It's a completley heartwarming story and not only for kids! This book has a lot of great quotes like:
"On ne voit bien qu'avec le coeur. L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."
You really should read it!
Book Review: Innocent and true- he came from a star
Summary: 5 Stars
_This is the sort of tale that a person writes when he steps back and takes an objective look at civilization. This was the point of view of the author, stranded as he was in the Sahara with a broken aeroplane and on the edge of life and death. It was there and then that he met the only person in his life that he was ever really able to talk to- the apparition of the Little Prince.
_This Little Prince was the sole inhabitant of a tiny garden-like world that was not much bigger than he was. It was there that he tended a single rose. However, this single rose was both delicate and difficult and finally drove him away. In his descent the prince encountered other worlds with a single inhabitant. They were all adults and all obsessed with illusions: authority, conceit, drink, wealth, duty, facts... They were all ridiculous and very strange. And then he fell to Earth. While Earth was much larger and had many more people than the other worlds they all seemed to share the same obsessions and illusions. He found it a place where a man could own a garden of thousands of roses such as the one that he had left, and yet appreciate none of them.
_In fact, it was from a fox and not from men that the prince finally learned a secret worth knowing: it is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye. Men have forgotten this truth as they rush about in pursuit of the unreal and the unimportant. How appropriate that our Little Prince should receive this most Sufic doctrine of the "eye of the heart" in North Africa. May all of us similarly acquire such wisdom in our own brief, ephemeral sojourn on Earth.
Book Review: Essential to the Heart
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book when I was in High School a couple of years ago
my teacher gave me a bookmark about Exuprey's famous quote.
This book moved me soo much.
I have always remembered fondly the book the writer and his message!
One sees clearly only with the heart
Anyting essential is invisible to the eyes.
-Antoine De Saint-Exuprey
Those two lines I will repeat to my children.
I am repurchasing this book mine is very worn out.
