Title: A Poignant Tale: In French
Review: This book was intended to be read in French. Indeed, that's why it was originally crafted, for students to learn French with ease. Since then, it has become a representative piece of French art. Written at a time when totalitarianism was still a dominant anti-U.S. force, Le Petit Prince is chilling at points despite its optimistic, airy, childlike prose. Don't be fooled. This book is far from childish despite the characters, for, behind it all, each character le petit prince encounters is a representative of a different facet of human nature, often not for the good.I have not read the book in English, yet I would strongly urge you to read this in French if you can. It is not a difficult read. The fact that I have been asked to read this book for high school French, intermediate college French, and advanced French studies, as have many, is a testament to its enduring legacy and the fact that it has touched many a reader.
