Book review of Le Petit Prince

Le Petit Prince, writer named Antoine de Saint-Exupé

ry. Although book is not

the

first

book

of

the

writer,

this

book

is

not

only

full

of

sediments

of

the

writer’s

life and emotion, but also talking about the essence of human life. Le

Petit Prince is a fairy tale;Antoine de Saint-

Exupéry’s writing style is different

from other books that written by him are portrayal records of his

thought

and

action.

Antoine

de

Saint-

Exupéry’s

family

was

a

traditional

Catholic noble family. His parents were noble, his father worked in bank, and

his mother was a housewife who has talentedin music and arts. The reason of

why he wrote Le Petit Prince is no matter his family background, it is related

with

his

identity.

Antoine

de

Saint- Exupé

rywasa

pilot.

That

is

why

the

protagonist in Le Petit Prince is a pilot. Le Petit Prince, the number of pages is

89, published by Harcourt, the price is about ten dollars.

Le Petit Prince is a story talks about six years ago a pilot landing in the Sahara

Desert caused by aircraft fault then he met the little prince. The pilot retailed

adventures of the little prince in six different planets, the little prince met the

king,

vain

man,

drunkard,

a

businessman,

lamplighter,

geographer,

snake,

desert flower with three petals,

a rose garden, switchman, trader,

fox and the

pilot book is a fairy tale, so that its interested audience is children.

In my opinion, Le Petit Prince is a good book. The writer used eyes of child to

expose desires and pragmatic in adult world. My theme of this book review is

that

sometimes

parents

think

their

way

is

benefit

to

us,

but

they

do

not

considertheir way is not suitable for us or it is not we want. Moreover, we think

we

are

become

knowledgeable

when

we

growing

up;

the

adult

knows

everything. Unfortunately, it is wrong, when we grow up; we probably forget
