Summary

The story is told from the perspective of a pilot stranded in the Sahara Desert, where he meets a

young, otherworldly boy—the Little Prince—who shares the tale of his adventures. The Prince

comes from a tiny asteroid and has visited several planets, each inhabited by an adult with a

particular flaw or obsession. Through his encounters with these figures and his love for a rose on

his home planet, the Little Prince learns deep truths about life, relationships, and human nature.

The novel is a philosophical exploration of love, loneliness, and the importance of seeing with

the heart rather than the eyes. It’s a fable for both children and adults.
