Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s The Little Prince tells the story of a pilot who crashes in the Sahara and meets a small boy from asteroid B-612. The prince recounts his travels across planets, meeting a king without subjects, a vain man, a drunkard, a businessman, a lamplighter, and a geographer, before arriving on Earth. Through gentle conversations about roses, foxes, and stars, the book explores love, loss, friendship, and what truly matters in life. Written as a children’s tale yet aimed at grown-ups, it is one of the most beloved and translated books in the world.
