El Principito / The Little Prince

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry tuvo una vida fascinante y una muerte mítica. Piloto comercial, reportero de viajes y activista político, ideó El principito durante sus largos vuelos en solitario por el desierto del Sáhara. Si bien la novela de Saint-Exupéry es considerada una obra infantil, contiene reflexiones muy valiosas que permiten abordar temas como la soledad, la amistad, el amor, el egoísmo, el sacrifi io, el deber y, sobre todo, la importancia de lo que somos frente a lo que parecemos. El principito es uno de los libros más profundos y hermosos jamás escritos. Una obra maestra imperecedera que ha cautivado a millones de lectores de todo el mundo. Con nuevas ilustraciones de Albert Arrayás

You can walk around large spaces where there is no room for anything else, or enjoy the blank space for your mind to fill in with its imagination. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry was a French aviator, writer, and adventurer whose life was marked by his passion for aviation and literature. He was born in Lyon and from a young age felt a profound fascination with the skies, which led him to become a pilot and pioneer of commercial aviation, flying routes in Europe, Africa, and South America. His experiences as an aviator inspired much of his literary work. However, his greatest recognition came with The Little Prince (1943), a poetic and philosophical tale that, under the guise of a children's story, addresses profound reflections on life, friendship, and human nature. Written during his exile in the United States, the book arose from a publishing commission and ended up becoming one of the most translated and widely read works in the world. Saint-Exupéry disappeared in 1944 while on a reconnaissance mission during World War II, leaving behind a literary and philosophical legacy that continues to inspire generations.
