Der kleine Prinz. Black

The classic translation in an extraordinary edition with colored edges and vibrant planets and stars.

Long since a classic, millions can quote from it: The Little Prince lives with his rose on the planet Asteroid B 612 and visits Earth. Here he meets the narrator, who made an emergency landing in the desert with his plane, and among others, the fox, who explains the concept of taming: "You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed." A world-renowned book full of wisdom and many well-known quotes, such as "One sees clearly only with the heart" or "What is essential is invisible to the eye." In the classic translation by Grete and Josef Leitgeb and with the original illustrations by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

EXCERPT: "To tame is a forgotten act," said the fox. "It means to establish ties." "To establish ties?" "Certainly," said the fox. "You are still nothing to me but a little boy, just like a hundred thousand other little boys. I have no need of you, and you have no need of me. I am for you only a fox, like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, we shall need each other. You will be unique in all the world to me. I shall be unique in all the world to you..." "Goodbye," said the fox. "Here is my secret. It is very simple: One sees clearly only with the heart. What is essential is invisible to the eye." "What is essential is invisible to the eye," repeated the little prince, so that he would remember it.
