The Little Prince, first published in 1943, is a novella and the most famous work of the French aristocrat, writer, poet and pioneering aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900–1944).
The novella is both the most-read and most-translated book in the French language, and was voted the best book of the 20th century in France. Translated into more than 250 languages and dialects (as well as braille), selling nearly two million copies annually with sales totalling over 140 million copies worldwide, it has become one of the top best-selling books ever published.
After the outbreak of the Second World War Saint-Exupéry became exiled in North America. In the midst of personal upheavals and failing health he produced almost half of the writings he would be remembered for, including a tender tale of loneliness, friendship, love and loss, in the form of a young prince fallen to Earth. An earlier memoir by the author had recounted his aviation experiences in the Sahara Desert and he is thought to have drawn on those same experiences for use as plot elements in The Little Prince.
The adult fable, according to one review, is actually “…an allegory of Saint-Exupéry’s own life—his search for childhood certainties and interior peace, his mysticism, his belief in human courage and brotherhood… but also an allusion to the tortured nature of their relationship.”
Though ostensibly styled as a children’s book, The Little Prince makes several observations about life and human nature.

Re: What are you reading?
Currently reading An Abundance of Katherines....written by the author of The Fault in Our Stars. So far, I like the former better than the latter.
After that I'll be reading The Apothecary....a book for young adults which captured my attention and has got good reviews. Abundance of Katherines is also a young adult book.....it's a fun genre to read.....very raw at times, humorous but thought provoking. At times I go from the adult fiction to young adult for a change.
Also checked out The Lilac House by Anita Nair....so a Desi book in the mix this time.
