The Little Prince
A gorgeous illustrated version of one of the most beloved novels of all time: The Little Prince.
“But eyes are blind. One must seek with the heart.”
Few novels have been as inspirational, or have touched as many people’s hearts, as The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Now artist Manuela Adreani reimagines this enchanting literary work through her extraordinary illustrations. With rare sensitivity, Adreani follows the tale of a downed pilot who meets a remarkable little boy in the desert—and learns lessons about the nature of life, love, and the universe.

مدت ها بود میخاستم بخونمش اما مجال نمیشد. تا اینکه این نسخه زیبا رو یکی از دوستان بهم هدیه داد. بسیار دلنشین بود. چقدر شاعرانه و پرمغز. یه نثر لطیف با دیالوگ های لذت بخش. کاش بشه هیچ وقت مثل آدم بزرگا نشیم. کاش بشه هیچ وقت فقط اعداد و ارقام براموم مهم نباشه. زندگی یه گل سرخ برامون دغدغه باشه و نگهداری ازش بشه لذت زندگی مون

Skaičiau vaikui (beveik 5 metų), tad būta trijų jaukių vakarų kartu su Mažojo Princo kelione po planetas.
“Štai mano paslaptis. Ji labai paprasta: matai tik širdimi. Akimis esmės nepamatysi.”
*** ir nors esmės akimis nepamatysi, labai gražios leidyklos “nieko rimto” leidimo iliustracijos.

It's one of those books that should be read by everyone at least twice - once as a child, to enjoy the story and let your imagination flow and second time - as an adult to let it all sink in and understand things that a child might not.
And I really recommend this edition. Yes, it's huge, but it's so lovely! The graphics are adorable and perfectly fitting.

"Here's my secret. It's very simple: one sees clearly only with the heart. The essential is invisible to the eye." - The Fox
Albeit looking like a children's book, this is far from it - a moving piece of prose about what is important in life, the correct perspective to be maintained, and what not to lose while growing up. A work that deeply moved me and would require a number of re-reads to gain more insight.
This particular edition is wonderfully illustrated in full color with full page and insert illustrations. Despite having purchased it, my sister coveted it almost immediately after seeing it, so...

A timeless beauty.
I don't want to say much about this book but I want to persuade someone who is lost to read this. Sometimes, growing up consumes up our souls without realizing it. The Little Prince taught me to not depend your happiness based on what you rule, what you have, what you see and hear. Depend your happiness to those who you truly love. That is the YOLO we should have right here!
Well, I agree to the Little Prince. Grown-ups are very strange for taking everything seriously. Do not ever forget that we were once a child--so pure, full of determination and that is our real identity we should not lose above all. Will surely reread this! 🤗

Baca ulang edisi English yang diilustrasi Manuela Adreani, diterjemahkan Irina Oryshkevich.
Kesadaran baru saat membaca yang kesekian kali, Little Prince setelah bertemu narator sudah jauh berbeda dari sebelum bertemu narator. Dia jauh lebih bijak dan 'dewasa'. Dalam waktu setahun di bumi, tentunya banyak hal terjadi, tapi tidak diceritakan di sini. Kira-kira, setelah menjinakkan rubah, Little Prince bertemu siapa saja ya?

This book, while very beautifully illustrated, loses some of the magic of the original. It is worth reading, I think, but if you are reading The Little Prince (in English) for the first time, then you really should seek out the Wood's translation with the original, in color, pictures to get the full effect of the book. Unfortunately, that version is out of print, so you may have some issues finding it (however, it was the most widely circulated one until 2001, so you may have some luck in used bookstores!)
But in terms of this version, it was nice. It, again, doesn't possess some of the magic of the original, but the drawings were very beautiful, if totally different than the original artwork. It has a unique, dreamlike quality, which both the illustrations and the translation seem to turn their focus on. However, I sorta feel that if this is the only version that you read, you maybe wouldn't really "get" what people love about The Little Prince.
This translation by Valeria Manferto De Fabianis is not as poetic as Kathrine Wood's translation, but it is not as modern as Richard Howard's version. As far as I could tell it was a solid translation, with no/very few questionable choices.
So, in conclusion, if you are a fan of the original book, this is worth checking out. It's fun, bright illustrations will captivate you. But if this is your first time reading the story I would recommend the original version.

My first hardcopy book of The Little Prince. Read the ebook one long time ago but confused of the point and the plot.
I don't know if the illustrations help but I understand the story more after reading this version. The illustrations are so pretty. And I think this one is directed more for grown-ups rather than for kids.

I haven't read this book since I studied French in high school and this is the first time I've read it in English. Such a gentle and beautiful story.

I reread this when being an adult is too much for me such as the past days. This edition heals an inner child part of me. It’s a big storybook-like with colorful full page illustrations.

It reminds me of Bude Win who read her daughter and me stories before nap time. Soft, safe, dreamy.

The little prince menjadi simbol kanak-kanak yang suci, selalu penasaran, dan menggemaskan. Perjalananya yang sarat akan penuh keheranan dan kebingungan akan oramg dewasa. Setiap penghuni planet pun turut menjadi simbol manusia dewasa, yang penuh dengan sifat-sifatnya. Betapa dari perjalanannya juga, ia menyadari bahwa apa yang ia tinggalkan menjadi sebuah rindu terhadap hal-hal yang ia kesalkan dan biasa sebelumnya. Menyedihkan jika diakhir kita merasa bahwa ia pergi, mungkin, kita akan lebih merasa lega jika kita merasa ia kembali ke planet asalnya. Dimana ia bisa kembali menyirami rose kesayangannya dan menonton matahari tenggelam setiap waktu.

This book is like a warm hug for your soul. It's not just a story; it's a journey that makes you think about life, love, and all that good stuff.
First off, the writing is beautiful. It's like reading poetry, but with a story attached. The author, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, has this magical way of painting pictures with words, making every page feel like a work of art.
The story itself is simple yet deep. It follows a pilot who meets a little boy from another planet, and their conversations touch on some big questions about existence and what it means to truly see and understand the world around us.
One thing I love about this book is how it speaks to people of all ages. Whether you're a kid or a grown-up, there's something in here for you. It reminds us to hold on to our sense of wonder and curiosity, even when life gets busy and complicated.
And let's not forget about the little nuggets of wisdom sprinkled throughout. Seriously, you could highlight a quote on every page and it would still feel like you're only scratching the surface of what this book has to offer.
In a nutshell, "The Little Prince" is like a warm cup of tea on a chilly day – comforting, thought-provoking, and impossible to put down once you start. So if you haven't read it yet, do yourself a favor and dive in. You won't regret it.
Baca. Seengaknya sekali dalam seumur hidup.
When I'm going through a reading slump or feeling confused, sad, hopeless, frustrated, angry, or just plain gloomy, I always turn to this book. Little Prince never fails to bring me peace, offer a sense of safety, & provide comfort. It's my ultimate go-to when I need some comfort reading.

Actually I need about 3 days to finish this book. Ini buku The Little Prince kedua yang kubaca. Yang pertama berbahasa Indonesia, not illustrated. Ketika membaca buku yang pertama kesannya adalah banyak kata-kata indah dan berarti di dalamnya, tapi aku tidak mengerti sama sekali jalan cerita kisah ini seperti apa.
Di buku yang kedua ini, yang karena ilustrasinya kupikir adalah untuk konsumsi anak-anak, kutemukan jalan cerita kisah ini sedikit gelap? Vibenya angst gitu. Sebagai orang tua, membuatku agak ragu apakah ini bacaan yang cocok untuk anak-anakku.
Meski begitu, The Little Prince adalah sebuah cerita klasik yang wajib diturunkan kepada setiap generasi. Kupikir akan lebih baik bila pengalaman pertama anakku bersua dengan pangeran kecil ini ketika ada aku menemaninya?
Sebelum belajar tentang simbolisme, kisah ini hanyalah cerita yang penyampaiannya tidak to the point. Ketika sedang belajar simbolisme, banyak simbolisme dalam cerita ini di satu sisi membuatku ingin menjabarkannya, tapi di sisi lain aku juga hanya ingin menikmati saja ceritanya.
Tapi yang selalu jadi pertanyaan ketika membaca cerita dengan simbolisme berlapis, ketika anak-anak yang membacanya
apa yang mereka tangkap dari cerita-cerita ini?
