Background information

1/4

Title: Le Petit Prince    

Author: Antoine de Saint-Exupéry    

Language (original): French    

Publication date: September 1943

Plot

2/4

"Little Prince" came from Asteroid B 612. He met the author while the author was trying to repair his engine after falling with his plane in the Sahara.

The little prince met with a king, a conceited man, a drinker, a lamplighter, and a geographer before he came to the earth. And on earth, he spoke with a fox who taught him to realize that to know others we must “tame” them.

In order to reunite with his rose, the little prince went back home after he was bitten by a poisonous snake. The author finished repairing his plane finally and left the desert too. 

Recommendation

3/4

Though The Little Prince is often regarded as a children's book, the book teaches me more about love and human nature. What the book impressed me most is a sentence said by the fox, "One sees clearly only with the heart. The essential is invisible to the eye."

Quotes

“

4/4

我总以为自己很富有，拥有一朵世上独一无二的花；实际上，我所拥有的不过是一朵普通的玫瑰而已。一朵普通的玫瑰花……

I thought that I was rich, with a flower that was unique in all the world; and all I had was a common rose. A common rose ...

　
　　对我而言，你只是一个小男孩，和其他成千上万的小男孩没有什么不同。我不需要你。你也不需要我。对你而言，我也和其它成千上万的狐狸并没有差别。但是，假如你驯服了我，我们就彼此需要了。对我而言，你就是举世无双的；对你而言，我也是独一无二的……

To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world.
