Le Petit Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
My rating: 0 of 5 stars
I'd be honest and say that I haven't read the book again in quite a long time. I lost my copy but anyway that is totally beside the point.
I gave it five stars, not because I'm a kid and understood it, nor I'm a grown-up and denies that I'm one. I gave it five stars because I truly believe that it deserves it, at least for me.
Yes, this is meant for kids, and the like, but I believe that every one had and still has that little child inside of them and would appreciate the little prince in this books. I agree that it's quite charming, witty and whimsical, but I think its more than that. He's a child who knew a lot but is still quite naive. And the pilot was quite like him, a child with his naivete.
It not just because he's very profound, nor was the pilot one too. But their differences shown in the book made me realize how similar were they. And it made me think how similar I am to any other person, whether they're a child or a grown-up.
It wasn't that quote "What's essential is invisible to the eye," that I think was very important. I think that the point that even the grown-ups make mistakes and everyone has their own biases and ignorance. And one shouldn't take pride that they know everything. This book taught me how to be humble, because in a way or another, I know I don't know everything and I don't own everything. And I'll meet someone who would know these things and just remind me that I'm still human and that my feet should always be on the earth.
