El Principito

by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Novel, 96 pages

Stranded a thousand miles from settlements, his survival prospects are bleak with limited food and water, and the daunting challenge of repairing his engine after a crash landing in the Sahara desert.

The pilot awakens in the morning to see a strange little fellow, neither a child nor a man, asking him to draw a lamb. Gradually, the little prince reveals his origin (a tiny planet!), why he abandoned the one he loved and fled (aloft with a migration of wild birds!), and the planets and characters he has met along the way.

The themes of love, loss, loneliness, mystery, and the secret to what is meaningful and what really matters in life develop through those interplanetary encounters and especially with the bond that grows between the pilot and the prince over their eight days together in a desolate land that reveals its dangers and its beauty.
Enigmas abound, but such is life

For high-intermediate and above. Adult readers
