Features: Dedicated to adults who have not forgotten that they once were children about life, living, and fables. A miracle book with the second-highest reading rate in history, only after the Bible. It may not be the expensive Little Prince you bought, but it is definitely the most valuable Little Prince of 2007. Unlike previous versions, it not only achieves a faithful translation in terms of text but also introduces over 200 exquisite color illustrations created by Taiwan's premier renowned illustration master, Tseng Mingxiang, for the Little Prince. The best-selling Taiwanese author Wu Danru wrote the preface, recommending that you immerse yourself in the magnificent fairy-tale world with beautiful images on paper. While reviving the warm classic, it also offers a fresh experience, bringing double (emotional and visual) to the soul. It is truly a classic, unique, and worth collecting Chinese translation of the Little Prince.
"This is like a flower. If you love a flower that grows on a star, then at night, when you look at the sky, you will feel sweet and pleasant, as if all the stars are blooming."
The Little Prince tells a beautiful and poignant story. The pilot "I" is forced to land in the desolate Sahara Desert due to a malfunctioning plane. At this moment, a charming and mysterious little boy appears, insistently asking "I" to draw a sheep for him. He is the Little Prince—a pure, melancholic boy from an unknown asteroid in the solar system. He loves to ask questions but never answers others'. Through their conversations, the Little Prince's secrets gradually unfold. He left in anger because of a love affair with a beautiful and proud rose. He wanders among the planets, visiting the King, the vain person, the drunkard, the businessman, the lamplighter, and the geographer. Finally, he lands on Earth, trying to find a way to alleviate his loneliness and pain. The Little Prince meets the fox and forms a friendship with him, learning the true meaning of life from the fox. He decides to return to his rose, but his body is too heavy to take. Thus, he decides to seek help from a venomous snake that can kill a person in just 30 seconds.
