The Little Prince

Thank you very much for shopping at About Glamour. You might have heard of the story called “The Little Prince” which is my recommended book. The author, Antoine de saint-Exupery was a pilot himself and he passed away from the flight accident in 1944. After reading the book, I felt little a bit sad because I identified him with the little prince. On the last two pages of the book, a simple drawing of the desert and the star is written. On the following page, it stated, “This is the little price appeared on the Earth, then disappeared.” Antoine disappeared like the little price did. But I really enjoyed reading this book because I was able to come back to my childhood in my imagination. I could tell that the author was like a child in a good way and saw the world with kid’s eyes; He was probably the little prince himself. I was like the little prince when I was a kid. For example, when I was playing a jungle gym at my elementary school, I imagined the ground was made up of magma, so I would die if I fell down… However, as a grown-up, my imagination is sometimes easily lost. In the story, a friend of the little prince, the fox gives him an advice, “Here is my secret. It’s quite simple: One sees clearly only with the heart. Anything essential is invisible to the eyes.” This is a secret that I also won’t have to forget.
