From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Little Prince (French: Le Petit Prince), published in 1943, is French aviator Antoine de Saint Exupéry's most famous novella, which he wrote in the United States while renting The Bevin House in Asharoken, New York, on Long Island. The novella includes a number of drawings by Saint-Exupéry himself, which are reproduced in most versions.
The book has been translated into more than 180 languages and dialects so far.
To date it has sold more than 50 million copies worldwide.
It is one of the top 50 best-selling books.
It has been adapted into a movie musical by Lerner and Loewe, two different operas, as well as into an animated series.
It is often used as a beginner's book for French language students.
Katherine Woods' classic version (1943) was later followed by other translations, as her original version was shown to have several mistakes. Up to now, four more translations have been published:
T.V.F. Cuffe (ISBN 978-0141185620, 1st ed. 1995)
Irene Testot-Ferry (ISBN 978-0756751890, 1st ed. 1995)
Alan Wakeman (ISBN 978-1862050662, 1st ed. 1995)
Richard Howard (ISBN 978-0152048044, 1st ed. 2000)
Each of these translators do their best to approach the essence of the original, each with their own style and focuses
