SelfMadeHero Little Prince: A graphic novel adapted from the book by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Meet the original Boy Who Fell to Earth. Stranded in the Sahara Desert, an aircraft pilot meets a strange little boy who tells him of his journey from another world. The Little Prince, by the French writer, illustrator, and aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, was written and published during the Second World War, to immediate acclaim, and its classic status has been embraced ever since. Whether as a childrens fairy tale or an existentialist fable, religious parable or political allegory, the secret treasure of its complex simplicity has only unfolded further truths over the years, like the petals of the precious flower of friendship it celebrates. Vividly realized here, for yet another new generation, by the award-winning graphic novelist Joann Sfar, this stunning adaptation celebrates the 80th anniversary of its French edition, and confirms its wisdom of ages: that life (and love) can be hard; that grown-ups are very strange; and that our precious planet is intrinsic with our universal Nature. De Saint-Exupérys aircraft disappeared in the wartime skies over the Mediterranean in July 1944, and his death has remained a mystery ever since. The only reason to speak in riddles, he wrote, in his prophetic masterpiece, is to solve them. Autorid: Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Joann Sfar, Sarah Ardizzone
