Principito, El (Edaf)

This beloved, world-famous allegorical classic about a young prince on a quest for knowledge is an essential read for every home library: a profound tale about loneliness and loss, and love and friendship. Few stories are as widely read and as universally cherished by children and adults alike as The Little Prince. When a pilot crashes in the Sahara Desert, he meets a little boy who asks him to draw a sheep. Gradually the Little Prince reveals more about himself: He comes from a small asteroid, where he lived alone until a rose grew there. But the rose grew demanding, and he was confused by his feelings about her. The story unfolds further from one planet to the next in a thoughtful philosophical exploration of love and the ephemeral.
