Description from the seller
Superb illustrated edition of this masterpiece by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, which transposes the poetic and philosophical tale into a prestigious editorial format aimed at collectors.
The text, written in 1943 and made universal through its blend of narrative simplicity and metaphysical depth, is here enriched by Lacroix's illustrations, which provide a complementary visual interpretation to Saint-Exupéry's original watercolors, emphasizing the symbolic and dreamlike dimension of the story.
The Rombaldi edition, renowned for its meticulous bindings and limited prints, bestows a luxurious quality upon the work, with leather binding, gilding, and high-quality paper, while Gallimard ensures literary legitimacy and distribution.
The first 'Le Petit Prince' tells the story of a pilot who crashes in the Sahara Desert and meets a child from another planet, the Little Prince. He shares his adventures and encounters with symbolic characters, such as the king, the vain man, the drunkard, the businessman, the lamplighter, the geographer, the fox, and the rose.
It is a reflection on life, friendship, love, responsibility, solitude, and the meaning of things. It contains watercolors created by the author himself, which make this work all the more exceptional.
Simply a masterpiece...
The second 'Un sens à la vie' is a luminous text that questions our quest for humanity.
Between poetry and philosophy, the author invites us to transcend everyday life to rediscover what is essential: fraternity, responsibility, and hope.
A timeless, inspiring work that illuminates our lives and breathes new life into our dreams.
