-<The Little Prince>-From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
---{{{{Viewpoint}}}}----
Ostensibly a children's book, it makes several profound and idealistic points about life and human nature. In it, Saint Exupéry tells of his being stranded in the Sahara Desert, thousands of kilometers away from inhabited places, where he meets a young extraterrestrial (though entirely human-appearing) prince. In their conversations, the author reveals his own views about the follies of mankind and the simple truths that people seem to forget as they grow older.
The essence of the book is contained in the famous line uttered by the fox to the Little Prince: "On ne voit bien qu'avec le cœur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux." (It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye).
There are also two other main points in the book, both spoken by the fox.
They are: "You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed" and "It is the time you have spent with your rose that makes your rose so important."
Throughout the book, a child's view of the world, of the purpose of human life and of relations between people, (as represented by the Little Prince and partially by the narrator), is set off against the grown-ups' view (as revealed in memories of the narrator and in characters that the Little Prince meets on asteroids).
But the author underscores that the "'grown-ups' are like that.
One must not hold it against them. Children should always show great forbearance toward grown-up people
