Antoine de Saint-Exupéry is known universally for the gentle charm of Le Petit Prince, but it is this book, Land of Men - known originally in English as Wind, Sand and Stars - which is his masterpiece. First published in 1939, it documents Saint-Exupéry's life as a pilot in the pioneering days of long-distance flying and in particular his experiences as a pilot transporting mail across countries, across continents.

"Le premier soir, je me suis donc endormi sur le sable à mille milles de toute terre habitée. J'étais bien plus isolé qu'un naufragé sur un radeau au milieu de l'océan. Alors, vous imaginez ma surprise, au lever du jour, quand une drôle de petite voix m'a réveillé. Elle disait : "S'il vous plaît... dessine-moi un mouton !" J'ai bien regardé. Et j'ai vu ce petit bonhomme tout à fait extraordinaire qui me considérait gravement..."

Now an adult himself, the narrator has become a pilot, and, one day, his plane crashes in the Sahara, far from civilization. Here, the narrator is greeted by a young boy whom he refers to as "the little prince". The prince has a strange habit of avoiding directly answering any of the narrator's questions. The prince is described as wearing a scarf and having golden hair and a lovable laugh. Over the course of eight days stranded in the desert, while the narrator attempts to repair his plane, the little prince recounts the story of his life.

"The Little Prince" was published in 1943 by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. It is a poetic tale in which a pilot strands in the desert and meets a young prince fallen to Earth from a tiny asteroid. The story is philosophical and includes social criticism, remarking on the strangeness of the adult world. While it looks like a children's book, it targets adult relationships with deep thoughts on how adults perceive life and each other. "Children should show great understanding towards grown-ups".

"Si conoscono solo le cose che si addomesticano - disse la volpe - Gli uomini non hanno più tempo per capire nulla. Comprano al mercato le cose già fatte. Ma siccome non esistono mercati che ti vendano gli amici, gli uomini non hanno più amici. Se vuoi un amico addomesticami!" Immaginate di stare con altri amici o parenti, d'inverno, davanti a un caminetto con della legna accesa che crea calde e amabili fiamme colorate di giallo e di rosso, e che un anziano contastorie dalla voce armoniosa e magnetica vi racconti la storia del "Piccolo Principe", una delle più straordinarie allegorie della società contemporanea.

Saint-Exupéry was himself an aristocrat, a pilot and a war hero. Here he tells the story of a pilot stranded in the desert who there encounters the Little Prince, a remarkable little fellow from another planet who is also looking for his way back home and to the beloved rose he abandoned there. Since its publication in 1943, this story has enchanted both adults and children alike, and no wonder. Its gentle humour and profound insights are capable of reminding us of all the things that really matter and of healing hearts and jaded souls, no less.

"Nous habitons une planète errante." Saint-Exupéry, qui vient d'être nommé pilote de ligne, découvre, admire, médite notre planète. Assurant désormais le courrier entre Toulouse et Dakar, il hérite d'une vaste responsabilité à l'égard des hommes, mais surtout de lui-même et de son rapport au monde. Tout en goûtant "la pulpe amère des nuits de vol", il apprend à habiter la planète et la condition d'homme, lit son chemin intérieur à travers les astres. En plus du langage universel, il jouit aussi chaque jour de la fraternité qui le lie à ses camarades du ciel.

En pilot - historiens berättare - nödlandar med sitt flygplan i Saharaöknen. Där möter han den lille prinsen, som kommer från asteroiden B612, som inte är större än ett hus, och varifrån man kan se 44 solnedgångar under en dag. På B612 finns det också en ros, som den lille prinsen tar hand om, och som är hans enda vän. Den lille prinsen beslutar sig dock för att lämna sitt hem och rosen, som alltid gnäller, för att hitta nya vänner, och för att lära sig något nytt.

Der Kleine Prinz, ein Klassiker der Weltliteratur, erzählt vom Flug des Kleinen Prinzen von seinem Asteroiden, wo er eine erst erblühte Rose zurücklässt...

Il piccolo principe (Le Petit Prince) è un racconto breve molto poetico difficilmente etichettabile come libro per ragazzi. Scritto da Antoine de Saint-Exupery nel 1943, affronta temi come l'amicizia, l'amore, l'attaccamento. Accompagnato dai disegni originali dell'autore (che sono presenti nei tag degli audiofiles) e da una delle sue musiche favorite (il Notturno n. 13 di Chopin) il racconto evoca, attraverso un velo di malinconia, la gioia di un vivere pieno, senza maschere e schemi mentali dettati dal "mondo".

Incontrare un principino nel Sahara è già un fatto sorprendente. Ancor più se proviene da un lontano asteroide. Con tante cose da raccontare: strani abitatori di altri pianeti, tramonti a ripetizione, un fiore vanitoso, e una volpe per amica. È un piccolo principe, ma per l'aviatore atterrato nel deserto questo è un grande incontro che gli cambierà per sempre la vita. Una delle storie più amate dai bambini e dagli adulti di tutto il mondo, nella nuova traduzione di Galilea Maioli. Immagine cover di Panebarco.
