Here is a description of the work of Antoine de Saint-Exupery "The Little Prince", a brief summary. Probably, every author, both living and long-dead, has a work that becomes his brand. It is such a work that is remembered when the last name of the writer or poet is pronounced, it symbolizes his ability to create. When this name is pronounced, Antoine Saint Exupery, “The Little Prince” is recalled as the same work, symbolizing the work of the author. It was
this allegorical tale that glorified Exupery all over the world. Published for the first time in 1943, The Little Prince is still reprinted in more than 180 languages and dialects in many countries of the world. So, here is a part of Exupery's work: “The Little Prince”, a summary of the tale. There is no need to talk about a full-fledged replacement of the original - this abridged version is suitable only for acquaintance. Again, The Little Prince is not only a fairy tale, but also unique illustrations created by the author himself.
Story line
The author begins the work with a story about a boy with an original look at the world around him. At six, the boy read about a snake swallowing a victim. He painted a boa constrictor swallowing an elephant. Since adults did not understand the picture, taking the snake for a hat, the child specified the image by drawing an elephant in the womb of a reptile. Bottom line: adults advised the boy not to do nonsense, but to make more efforts in geography, spelling, history. The boy gave up drawing and eventually became a pilot. But he never forgets about the drawing and sometimes shows it to people who are, at first glance, more intelligent than the rest. However, everyone sees one hat. In the end, he lives alone. The case helped. Flying over the Sahara, the pilot was forced to land. There was little water, only for a week, and it was necessary to fix the breakdown or die. The next morning, the pilot was awakened by a golden-haired kid with a request to draw a lamb. The pilot did not refuse, as the kid was able to consider both the snake and the elephant in his own drawing.
It turned out that the baby arrived on Earth from another planet. It was called the asteroid B-612. There the baby, the Little Prince, was the master, although the entire planet is the size of an ordinary house. But there are as many as three volcanoes and sprouts of baobab, which the Little Prince regularly blurted out. Life was boring until a wonderful rose appeared on this planet, very beautiful, with sharp spikes, but arrogant. Then the Little Prince went to travel. He visited neighboring asteroids-planets. On one lived a king, very much in need of subjects. He even offered the baby the post of minister. On the other, an ambitious man. On the third - an ordinary drunkard. On the fourth - a very business man. On the next planet - a lamplighter. Only the Little Prince liked him. Then there was a planet with a geographer. The Little Prince spoke with him, talking about the rose. He felt sad ... The seventh planet is Earth. And the kid was surprised to learn that there were 111 kings, 7000 geographers, 7.5 million drunks. The little prince managed to make friends only with the Fox, the snake and the pilot himself. The snake promised to return him home. The fox taught to be friends, saying that only the heart is vigilant, because you never can see the most important thing with your eyes. The fox taught one more thing: we are responsible for those we tamed. And our hero decides to return. The snake helps the boy - her bite kills in just half a minute. The little prince convinces the pilot that this is only like death, but not death, and asks to remember him, looking at least sometimes at the sky. The pilot fixed the plane and returned home. For six years he is sad, remembering the Little Prince. Gradually, sadness passes, and the habit of looking at the night sky gives a lot of pleasant emotions. He often thinks of the Little Prince and a proud, spiky and fragile rose. You read Exupery's tale "The Little Prince", a brief summary of it, or rather. Perhaps you decide to open the original, and that will be great. Maybe you decide that your child should read the story - and rightly so. This work teaches correct, eternal truths. And so it will be read more than once.
