Product Description
The story is philosophical and includes social criticism of the adult world. It was written during a period when SaintExupry fled to North America subsequent to the Fall of France during the Second World War witnessed first hand by the author and captured in his memoir Flight to Arras. The adult fable according to one review is actually ...an allegory of SaintExuprys own lifehis search for childhood certainties and interior peace his mysticism his belief in human courage and brotherhood and his deep love for his wife Consuelo but also an allusion to the tortured nature of their relationship. Though ostensibly styled as a childrens book The Little Prince makes several observations about life and human nature. For example SaintExupry tells of a fox meeting the young prince during his travels on Earth. The storys essence is contained in the fox saying that One sees clearly only with the heart. The essential is invisible to the eye. Other key morals articulated by the fox are You become responsible forever for what you have tamed and It is the time you have lost for your rose that makes your rose so important. The foxs messages are arguably the books most famous quotations because they deal with human relationships.show more
