"The Little Prince" is the most famous work of the French pilot, writer and sage Antoine de Saint-Exupery. In terms of the number of translations into various languages ​ ​ of the world, this small work is second only to the Bible. The children read it as a sad, beautiful tale; adults - like a wise parable that touches the soul, in simple words about the most important things in life. For the first time, the text of the story was published in English and a little later in French in 1943 in New York, where Exupery left France occupied by the Nazis.
