Antoine de Saint-Exupéry first published The Little Prince in 1943, only a year before his Lockheed P-38 vanished over the Mediterranean during a reconnaissance mission. More than a half century later, this fable of love and loneliness has lost none of its power. The narrator is a downed pilot in the Sahara Desert, frantically trying to repair his wrecked plane. His efforts are interrupted one day by the apparition of a little, well, prince, who asks him to draw a sheep. "In the face of
an overpowering mystery, you don't dare disobey," the narrator recalls. "Absurd as it seemed, a thousand miles from all inhabited regions and in danger of death, I took a scrap of paper and a pen out of my pocket." And so begins their dialogue, which stretches the narrator's imagination in all sorts of surprising, childlike directions.
The Little Prince describes his journey from planet to planet, each tiny world populated by a single adult. It's a wonderfully inventive sequence, which
evokes not only the great fairy tales but also such monuments of postmodern whimsy as Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities. And despite his tone of gentle bemusement, Saint-Exupéry pulls off some fine satiric touches, too. There's the king, for example, who commands the Little Prince to function as a one-man (or one-boy) judiciary:
I have good reason to believe that there is an old rat living somewhere on my planet. I hear him at night. You could judge that old rat. From time to time you
will condemn him to death. That way his life will depend on your justice. But you'll pardon him each time for economy's sake. There's only one rat.
The author pokes similar fun at a businessman, a geographer, and a lamplighter, all of whom signify some futile aspect of adult existence. Yet his tale is ultimately a tender one--a heartfelt exposition of sadness and solitude, which never turns into Peter Pan-style treacle. Such delicacy of tone can present real headaches for a translator, and
in her 1943 translation, Katherine Woods sometimes wandered off the mark, giving the text a slightly wooden or didactic accent. Happily, Richard Howard (who did a fine nip-and-tuck job on Stendhal's The Charterhouse of Parma in 1999) has streamlined and simplified to wonderful effect. The result is a new and improved version of an indestructible classic, which also restores the original artwork to full color. "Trying to be witty," we're told at one point, "leads to lying, more or less." But
Saint-Exupéry's drawings offer a handy rebuttal: they're fresh, funny, and like the book itself, rigorously truthful. --James Marcus
《小王于》小说叙述者是个飞行员，他在故事一开始告诉读者，他在大人世界找不到一个说话投机的人，因为大人都太讲实际了。接着，飞行员讲了六年前他因飞机故障迫降在撒哈拉沙漠遇见小王子故事。神秘的小王子来自另一个星球。飞行员讲了小王子和他的玫瑰的故事。小王子为什么离开自己的星球；在抵达地球之前，他又访问过哪些星球。他转述了小王子对六个星球的历险，他遇见了国王、爱虚荣的人、酒鬼、商人、点灯人、地理学家、蛇、三枚花瓣的沙漠花、玫瑰园、扳道工、商贩、狐狸以及我们的叙述者飞行员本人。飞行员和小王子在沙漠中共同拥有过一段极为珍贵的友谊。当小王子离开地球时，飞行员非常悲伤。他一直非常怀念他们共度的时光......
《小王于》曾是法国最著名的书，也是全世界最令人喜爱的书，现在仍是！尽管这本法国人写的童话于1943年在美国首次出版，而法国人却只愿意记得它的法国出版日——1946年4月。2006年4月，法国人高调为它过了60岁大寿，他们用法语向全球宣布：《小王子》刚满60周岁！那就让我们尊重骄傲的法国人的意愿，再纪念一次《小王子》诞生60周年吧！根据《小壬子》官方网站公布的最新数据，此书在全世界己销售8000万册，仅在法国的销量就达1100万册。它已被译成160余种语言，中文版本估计有上百种之多。几年前，法国人毫不吝啬地将“20世纪最佳洁语图书”的桂冠授予了《小王子》，《追忆似水年华》等一连串伟大的现代文学经典也只能排名其后。

Once when I was six years old I saw a magnificent picture in a book, called True Stories from Nature, about the primeval forest. It was a picture of a boa constrictor in the act of swallowing an animal. Here is a copy of the drawing.文章源自西贝博客-//qinghe.me/the-little-prince-pdf-download.html
In the book it said: "Boa constrictors swallow their prey whole, without chewing it. After that they are not able to move, and they sleep through the six months that they need for digestion."文章源自西贝博客-//qinghe.me/the-little-prince-pdf-download.html
I pondered deeply, then, over the adventures of the jungle. And after some work with a colored pencil I succeeded in making my first drawing. My Drawing Number One. It looked like this:文章源自西贝博客-//qinghe.me/the-little-prince-pdf-download.html
I showed my masterpiece to the grown−ups, and asked them whether the drawing frightened them.文章源自西贝博客-//qinghe.me/the-little-prince-pdf-download.html
But they answered: "Frighten? Why should any one be frightened by a hat?"文章源自西贝博客-//qinghe.me/the-little-prince-pdf-download.html

我六岁时，在一本描写原始森林的名叫《亲身经历的故事》的书中，看到了一幅精彩的插图，画的是一条蟒蛇在吞食一只巨兽。上面的插图就是那幅画的摹本。文章源自西贝博客-//qinghe.me/the-little-prince-pdf-download.html
书上这样写道：“这些蟒蛇捕到猎物后，不加咀嚼，囫囵吞下，过后就不能再动弹了；它们就得睡上六个月，好让这些食物慢慢消化。”文章源自西贝博客-//qinghe.me/the-little-prince-pdf-download.html
当时，我对丛林中的奇遇，想得很多，于是，我用彩色铅笔勾画出了我的第一幅图画，我的第一号作品。它是这样的：文章源自西贝博客-//qinghe.me/the-little-prince-pdf-download.html
