Features: The Little Prince is both a children's literary work and a fairy tale for adults, as Saint-Exupéry himself put it, it is a literary work for the adult who is still a child. The entire novel is filled with poetic melancholy and a gentle sorrow, expressing profound philosophical insights and moving nuances in clear, simple language. This nuance, specifically, is the harmony between a simple form and profound content. The entire fairy tale has clean, almost pure language and a concise, even simplistic structure. Therefore, the translation of this fairy tale should also be clear and straightforward. It is a book that can be listened to by a child while their mother reads it aloud, a book that can be silently recited with a lover during youth, and a book that can allow anyone of any age to relive the innocence of love and feel moved by it once again.
