Le Petit Prince

A pilot stranded in the desert meets a small boy from an asteroid who tells him about a rose, a fox and the grown-ups he met on other planets. With its own watercolours, the book has become one of the most translated works in the world. Its wisdom is sometimes stated too plainly, but its sadness is earned.
