Editorial Reviews

Review

Many old friends revisit readers in handsome new volumes. Always welcome is that charming visitor from another planet, Antoine de Saint-Exupery's The Little Prince. A 60th-anniversary gift edition features a cloth slipcase, a satin ribbon bookmark and a bookplate. The fable remains as lyrically haunting as ever in Richard Howard's new (2000) translation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ideal para chicos y grandes!!, June 11, 2001

Xochitl Quintero (Berkeley, IL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: El principito (Paperback)

Esta fabúla es fácil de leer para pequeños y grandes, y con una de las mejores enseñanzas. La leí cuando tenía 8 años y ahora 20 años después sigue siendo una de mis historias favoritas. La prosa de esta historia es refrescante. El pricipito se convertirá en una persona real, que te llevará a conocer gente y lugares, pero sobre todo te enseñará una de las más importantes lecciones en la vida. Esta lectura la recomiendo a esas personas como yo que les gusta soñar y aprender. Es todo un auto-examen de personalidad. Que lo disfruten

5.0 out of 5 stars belleza, September 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: El principito (Paperback)

El principito contiene en tan pocas páginas palabras que penetran el alma para nunca salir. Que bueno que lo lei tan temprano en mi vida. Cada vez que lo vuelvo a leer, me da tanta nostalgia de recordar el tiempo cuando dibujaba por dibujar. Es un libro nuevo cada vez que se le lee, y en la profundidad de sus palabras es imposible no ver el reflejo de nuestro ser verdadero. No se que decir...es demasiado bello para tratar de definirlo.

This review is from: El principito (Paperback)

This was my first book , i read it when i was 7 years old, i have not forgotten about it since then.... If you think you are too old, or too adult for to give it a try and read it...then you should not steal this amazing opportunity from a child of yours...i think it's the best children's literature ever written.
