The masterpiece "The Little Prince" has been translated into over 100 languages ??around the world. When comparing the first edition in English with the edition published by France's Gallimard, which owns the copyright, there were subtle differences in the color tone and touch of the illustrations. To commemorate the 100th anniversary of Saint-Exup?ry's birth, we are presenting an original version of "The Little Prince'' based on the English version, which is said to be the only version the author saw during his lifetime.

A. de Saint-Exup?ry (Author), Ryu Naito (Translator)

Product Description
Reprint edition created to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the author's birth. The illustrations are the same as the original US version, drawn by the author himself. The outlines are clearer and sharper than the illustrations I've been familiar with, and I enjoy reading through them while spotting the "minor differences."
This book is aimed at children in the sense that they can enjoy the development of the story, but it is full of messages aimed at adults, reminding us that humans are inherently equipped with the "eyes of the heart.'' People should be able to become rich by having the "eyes of the heart'' that allow them to see the truth, sensing things that need to be cherished, and making the most of them. It becomes invisible, and eventually no one even bothers to look at it (other than the lamplighter, the adults who live on the planet the prince visits seem to be symbols of this).

The words of the fox, "You can't see things clearly unless you see them with your heart. What is real cannot be seen with the eyes.'' The author's message is for adults and the future. Perhaps this is a wake-up call for children who become adults. (Hideko Kakuda)
