    Flight to Arras by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (teknochik)
    teknochik: NObody seems to know this fabulous book. It is a reflective memoire by St Expery as he was piloting a reconnaissance mission over Germany in WW2. It is a beautiful commentary on war and what it does to humanity. Possibly one of the most hidden and understated gems of the 20th century. When I read this book, I suddenly understood "The Little Prince" with far more depth.… (more)

De verteller, een piloot, vertelt hoe hij na een noodlading met zijn vliegtuig in de woestijn de kleine prins ontmoet. De kleine prins vertelt over de planeet waar hij woont, over andere planeten die hij bezoekt en over hun merkwaardige bewoners. Het is een verhaal vol diepe wijsheden: -Tot ziens zei de vos. Hier is mijn geheim. Je kan alleen goed zien met je hart. Waar het echt om gaat, dat kan je niet zien met je ogen. Dit prachtige moderne sprookje is geliefd bij iedereen. De schitterende illustraties zijn van de auteur. Erik van Muiswinkel verzorgde de nieuwe vertaling. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900 -1944) was een Franse schrijver en piloot. Hij schreef De Kleine Prins een jaar voor zijn dood. In dienst van de geallieerden werd hij in de Tweede – Wereldoorlog in 1994 neergeschoten boven de Middellandse Zee. De eerste uitgave verscheen in 1943 in de Verenigde Staten zowel in het Engels als in het Frans. De eerste Nederlandse uitgave verscheen in 1951. Het boek is in meer dan 400 talen vertaald. Het is nog steeds een wereldwijde bestseller. Het geheim van De kleine prins is onzichtbaar, maar vanaf de eerste zin vloeit het door de onsterfelijke woorden en tekeningen heen. ( )

Was soll man zu "Der kleine Prinz" denn noch schreiben? Es wurde glaube ich alles schon geschrieben.
Da ich ja schon zu den großen Menschen gehöre und es nach Jahren mal wieder gelesen habe, das erste Mal vor etwa 20 Jahren, bin ich noch genauso begeistert. Und irgendwie hat mich das Buch auch ein wenig aufgeweckt.
Wie schnell verliert man doch den Blick auf die kleinen wesentlichen Dinge im Leben. Ich werde das Buch wohl immer wieder mal zur Hand nehmen, damit ich den tieferen Sinn dieses Buches immer wieder verinnerliche. ( )

Nesta história que marcou gerações de leitores em todo o mundo, um piloto cai com seu avião no deserto do Saara e encontra um pequeno príncipe, que o leva a uma aventura filosófica e poética através de planetas que encerram a solidão humana.

Um livro para todos os públicos, O pequeno príncipe é uma obra atemporal, com metáforas pertinentes e aprendizados sobre afeto, sonhos, esperança e tudo aquilo que é invisível aos olhos. ( )

The Little Prince isn't a bad story. There were some beautiful parts and some boring parts. Some of it seemed a bit pretentious. I'm glad that I read it, but I probably won't read it again. ( )

Antoan de sent Egziperi (1900) linijski i ratni pilot, poginuo 1944. kao pilot-izviđač, oboren od nemačkih aviona. Pored niza romana o pilotima ("Južna poštanska služba", "Noćni let", "Zemlja ljudi", "Ratni pilot") napisao roman "Tvrđava", te neobično poetsku knjigu "Mali princ". Egziperi neguje kult razumevanja i duboke moralnosti, razvijajući vanvremensku veru u moć preobražavanja čoveka i dosezanja do pravog saznavanja njegove prirode. Mali princ je knjiga za male i velike, napisana poput bajke ona otkriva utopijski svet kroz priču o dečaku dospelom sa udaljene i sićušne planete i njegovom traganju za odanošću i ljubavlju. Ovo je knjiga i o stvarnom svetu, o čoveku, njegovim zabludama i grehovima, o nevinosti u otkrivanju najdubljih i najdragocenijih vrednosti postojanja, koja svojom sugestivnšću i poetskom toplinom osvaja decenijama generacije mladih i odraslih čitalaca.

"Il Piccolo Principe" è una di quelle letture che entrano nell'animo del lettore. Antoine de Saint- Exupéry con il suo stile semplice e poetico mette il lettore davanti ad una riflessione sul senso vero della vita e sull'importanza di coltivare i sentimenti. Una fiaba senza età e per ogni età, da leggere e rileggere.
Vi segnaliamo la pagina del blog di Liberrima in cui parliamo del racconto dello scrittore francese:

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, most metaphysical of aviators, has written a fairy tale for grownups. The symbolism is delicate and tenuous. It challenges man the adult, and deplores the loss of the child in man.
added by Shortride | editTime (Apr 26, 1943)
 
"The Little Prince" is a parable for grown people in the guise of a simple story for children-a fable with delightful delicate pictures of the little Prince on his adventurings. It is a lovely story in itself hich covers a poetic, yearning philosophy- not the sort of fable that can be tacked down neatly at its four corners but rather reflections on what are real matters of consequence.
