The Little Prince

Little Prince Little Prince is one of the first books I was interested in reading. When I was 9 years old with Jonathan Livingston Seagull, I received a gift from my mother. Since then, I have sent it four times as a gift and read it at least ten times. After reading every time, I seem to get various opinions from the book depending on my life stage and my situation. To my surprise, this book was first published in 1943 and has eternal truth at various levels.

First of all, the dialogue between Little Prince and Fox is unforgettable. Initially, Fox paid close attention to become a friend with a little prince. Fox knows that the inevitable separation between them is painful. However, with the little prince's claim, they became friends. Finally, Fox said to Little Prince, "You are responsible for what you trained." Fox understands the importance of being responsible for something. However, Fox thinks it is a positive thing. Love and friendship are worthy of a burden

A good way to build trust is in communication between the prince and the fox. When we met, the fox asked the little prince whether he would tame him or not. "What does this mean?" Said the fox, "This is often an act of overlooking, which means establishing a connection." That means friendship. We learned from the fox that building a relationship is an act or process requiring attention. The fox continues to tell Little Prince. "You must be very patient, first, you sit far away from me - just as on the grass. Roots but you will sit near me everyday."

In 1997, Jean-Pierre Davidts wrote a sequel that can be regarded as a small prince called Lepetitprinceretrouvé (The Little Prince Returns). In this version, the wrecked narrator encountered a small prince on an isolated island and the prince returned to seek the help of the tiger that threatens the sheep. Another sequel "The return of Little Prince" was written by former actress Ysatis de Saint-Simone which is the niece of Consuelo de Saint Exupery. The Morgan Library and Museum in New York conducted three screenings of the original manuscript. This was first exhibited in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the story followed by celebrating the 100th anniversary of the author's birth in 2000.
