Personally, this is not my favorite Saint-Exupéry book. Although I could appreciate it.
Here is one of my favorite quotes from Saint-Exupéry ""To make rain on men something that resembles Gregorian chant. To rediscover a life of the spirit even higher than the life of the intelligence, the only one that satisfies the man. "
This happened when I was in my 30s. My mother and neighbor and I were talking and the neighbor looked over at my mother, pointed to me and said: "What was he like when he was a baby?"
My mother's instant reply: "About like he is now."
This story I tell because, even as a kid, I tended to read a lot, but heavier stuff. No "Jack and Jill" for me.
However, oddly enough, I recall reading - as a child - "The Little Prince." Truth be told, I don't recall it vividly, but I do remember reading it all the same.
Tip of the hat to you though. You "dinged" my memory and I will be getting "The Little Prince" for my kids now. They thank you in advance.
Glad that this reminder was helpful lol. And thanks for sharing the anecdote. I hope your kids enjoy it.
I advise you however earth of the men of saint Exupéry, this here it is a book for adults. Here in France Saint-Exupéry it is considered with much respect.
Anyway I wish you and your family a good day. And I suppose that today is game day for your son, so wish him good luck from me 😊
Yes, in reality the little prince is partly inspired by his own life, Saint Exupéry is a real hero in France. he will be killed by a German pilot during the Second World War.
I liked it at the time, but that was 2002. I don’t remember much anymore but the lamplighter who kept lighting and dimming his lamp because the rotation of the planet he was on was so quick. What a strange thing to remember all these years later.
