Few stories are as widely read and as universally cherished by children and adults alike as The Little Prince. Richard Howard's new translation of the beloved classic-published to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Antoine de Saint-Exup‚ry's birth-beautifully reflects Saint-Exup‚ry's unique and gifted style. Howard, an acclaimed poet and one of the preeminent translators of our time, has excelled in bringing the English text as close as possible to the French, in language, style, and most important, spirit. The artwork in this new edition has been restored to match in detail and in color Saint-Exup‚ry's original artwork. By combining the new translation with restored original art, Harcourt is proud to introduce the definitive English-language edition of

About the Author
Antoine de Saint-Exupery (1900-1944) was born in Lyons, France. A year after the publication of The Little Prince, Saint-Exupery disappeared over the Mediterranean while flying a reconnaissance mission for his French air squadron. Best known throughout the world as the author and illustrator of The Little Prince, Saint-Exupery wrote several other books that also have become classics of world literature.
The translator, Richard Howard, is the author of eleven books of poetry, including Untitled Subjects, which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1970, and most recently, Trappings. He is the translator of more than 150 works from the French, including The Charterhouse of Parma. In 1984 he received the American Book Award for his translation of Charles Baudelaire's Les Fleurs du Mal. Mr. Howard lives in New York City.
安托万·德·圣埃克苏佩里(Antoine de Saint-Exupery, 1900-1944)1900年6月29日出生在法国里昂。他曾经有志于报考海军学院,未能如愿,却有幸成了空军的一员。1923年退役后,先后从事过各种不同的职业。
1926年,圣埃克苏佩里进入拉泰科埃尔航空公司。在此期间,出版小说《南方邮件》(1929)、《夜航》(1931),从此他在文学上声誉鹊起。1939年,又一部作品《人的大地》问世。
第二次世界大战期间他重入法国空军。后辗转去纽约开始流亡生活。在这期间,写出《空军飞行员》、《给一个人质的信》、《小王子》(1943)等作品。1944年返回同盟国地中海空军部队。在当年7月31日的一次飞行任务中,他驾驶飞机飞上湛蓝的天空,就此再也没有回来。
对于一本书来说,“仅次于圣经”是个最大号的梦想。 有不少书把这个堂皇的冠冕强行扣在了自己的头上。 譬如,人性的弱点——畅销1500万册、全球销量仅次于《圣经》;格林童话——仅次于圣经的“最畅销的德文作品”;《道德经》在西方——发行量仅次于《圣经》;《毛主席语录...
评分 评分一、翻译依据的版本 这本书的最后,有单独的一页郑重其事的”版本说明“: 本书根据法国Gallimard出版社2007年版的Le Petit Prince译出,翻译过程中参考了T.V.F. Cuff的英译本,即美国PenguinBooks出版公司2000年版的The Little Prince。 但下面的例子可证明,这书是从英译...

我很不理解,本书并没有新鲜的道理,为啥被大家捧得跟神物一样?
评分好喜欢这个译本!
评分背单词打卡一个月攒下来的扇贝币刚够买一本薄薄的《小王子》。以前只记住了些关于爱情的隐喻,一些漂亮的温柔的句子,没看到书里的讽刺、悲伤和无奈。小王子离开的时候说,it is too far, I cannot carry this body with me, it is too heavy.
评分终于明白了为什么这么多人爱小王子,成人其实比孩子更容易被这本书打动。
