There are some books that leave such a lasting impression, they stay with readers long after the final page has been turned. A great example of one of these books is The Little Prince, a beloved novella that has captivated readers for generations and continues to earn recognition as one of literature's most essential works, more than eight decades since its publication.
Written by French author Antoine de Saint-Exupery during World War II, The Little Prince was published in 1943 and tells the story of a pilot who is stranded in the Sahara Desert and meets a young extraterrestrial boy — who is also a prince. The prince shares tales of his small home asteroid, his travels to other planets, and his unlikely friendship with a wise fox on Earth.
The short story is highly regarded as one of the best books of all time, with Goodreads readers voting it as one of the "books that everyone should read at least once".
On the social book-sharing website, The Little Prince has earned an average rating of 4.34 out of five stars, with many book lovers sharing praise for the novella.
"This is my seventh time to reread and enjoy the little prince’s thought provoking, sad, poetic, nostalgic, powerful, emotional journey to the world," wrote Goodreads user Nilufer Ozmekik. "Nearly 80 years later from its first release it still addresses to your heart, giving its important social criticism messages and also it gives you hope about friendship, childhood, life. That’s why after all these years the book is still cherished by both adults and young generations."
The Little Prince has been taken from page to screen several times, and in 2015, it was adapted into an animated film, which was acquired by Netflix in the United States with an all-star voice cast including Jeff Bridges, Rachel McAdams, and Mackenzie Foy.
Becoming a massive hit with audiences around the world, the 2015 movie won the coveted César Award for Best Animated Film in 2016 and, in 2017, the BAFTA Kids Award in the Feature Film category.
