Antoine de Saint-Exupery's multi-million copy bestseller in a Picador Classic edition, translated by Ros Schwartz, with an introduction by Kate Mosse.
ET MESTERVÆRK I VERDENSLITTERATURENSkrevet for børn og elsket af voksneMåske den klogeste og mest underfundige fortælling om kærlighed og savn. ”Voksne forstår aldrig noget selv, og det er trættende for børn altid og hele tiden at skulle forklare dem alt …”
On one level this work is the story of an airman's discovery of a small boy from another planet in the desert and his stories of intergalactic travel, and on the other hand it is a thought-provoking allegory of the human condition.
In "The Little Prince",a small boy leaves the tiny planet on which he lives alone, on a trip to Earth, where he is introduced to the vagaries of adult behaviour. "Letter to a Hostage" is an open letter to a Jewish intellectual in hiding in occupied France.
In 1926, de Saint-Exupery began flying for the airline Latecoere - later known as Aeropostale - opening up the first mail routes across the Sahara and the Andes. This autobiographical narrative combines encounters with nomadic Arabs and other adventures. It includes the story of his crash in the Libyan Desert in 1936, and his miraculous survival.

Børnene vil tage den lille prins til deres hjerte og elske ham for hans egen skyld, medens de voksne vil forstå underfundigheden og de fint ironiske udfald mod – de voksne." – PolitikenAntoine de Saint-Exupéry blev født i 1900. Han var blandt flyvningens pionerer i Frankrig og gjorde fra 1926 tjeneste som pilot på de franske luftpostlinjer og var senere chef for en nordafrikansk flyveplads. I 1929 udkom hans første bog, "Postflyveren", der fulgtes af "Flyveren i natten", "Blæsten, sandet og stjernerne" samt "Krigsflyveren", "Breve til et gidsel" og det beåndede poetiske eventyr "Den lille prins". Han deltog aktivt som krigsflyver i Anden Verdenskrig, hvorunder han styrtede ned og blev dræbt i 1944. Efter hans død udkom "Brev til en general" og den store, tankevækkende roman "Citadellet". Han er blevet kaldt "Luftens Joseph Conrad" og sammenlignet med Hemingway, T. E. Lawrence og Lin Yutang, men indtager sin helt selvstændige plads i samtidens moderne litteratur.
Le narrateur est un aviateur qui, à la suite d'une panne de moteur, a dû se poser en catastrophe dans le désert du Sahara et tente seul de réparer son avion. Le lendemain de son atterrissage forcé, il est réveillé par une petite voix qui lui demande : " S'il vous plaît... dessine-moi un mouton ! " Jour après jour, le petit prince raconte son histoire au narrateur. Il vit sur une autre planète, l'astéroïde B612, " à peine plus grande qu'une maison ". Les activités du petit prince consistent essentiellement à ramoner les volcans et à couper les baobabs pour qu'ils n'envahissent pas sa planète. Après ces activités, le petit prince va contempler un coucher de soleil; son astéroïde est si petit qu'il lui suffit de déplacer sa chaise de quelques mètres pour cela : pas besoin d'aller loin pour trouver le bonheur.

In dieser zauberhaften Fabel erzählt der Autor von seiner Begegnung mit einem "kleinen, ganz außergewöhnlichen Kerlchen", das er nach einem Flugzeugabsturz in der Wüste "tausend Meilen von jeder bewohnten Gegend" entfernt trifft. Von Tag zu Tag lernt er seinen neuen Freund besser kennen. Er hört von der wundersamen Heimat des kleinen Prinzen, von dessen Reise über sechs Planeten hin zur Erde und von den Weisheiten eines Fuchses. Es ist eine Geschichte über das, was wirklich zählt: Freundschaft, Aufgeschlossenheit und Liebe. Es ist die Geschichte des kleinen Prinzen.Antoine de Saint-Exupéry kam am 29. Juni 1900 in Lyon als drittes von fünf Kindern zur Welt. Er verbrachte eine glückliche Kindheit, musste aber 1904 den Tod seines Vaters und 1917 den Tod seines geliebten Bruders François verkraften. Nach dem Militärdienst arbeitete Saint-Exupéry als Pilot und Schriftsteller. Mit "Nachtflug" wurde der Autor 1929 bekannt. 1931 heiratete er Consuelo Suncín Sandoval, der er mit der "Rose" in seinem Roman "Der kleine Prinz" ein literarisches Denkmal setzte. Letzteren verfasste Saint-Exupéry 1943 während seines Exils in den USA. Später stellte er sich in den Dienst der Armee von General de Gaulle. Zuletzt unternahm Saint-Exupéry Aufklärungsflüge von Korsika aus. Am 31. Juli 1944 kehrte er von einem solchen nicht zurück. Die Wrackteile seiner Maschine entdeckten Forscher erst viele Jahre später im Meer vor Marseille.
