"A Leon WerthPido perdon a los ninos por haber dedicado este libro a una persona mayor. Tengo una seria excusa: esta persona mayor es el mejor amigo que tengo en el mundo. Tengo otra excusa: esta persona mayor puede comprender todo; hasta los libros de ninos. Tengo una tercera excusa esta persona mayor vive en Francia, donde tiene hambre y frio. Tiene verdadera necesidad de consuelo. Si todas estas excusas no fueran suficientes, quiero dedicar este libro al nino que esta persona mayor fue en otro tiempo. Todas las personas mayores han sido ninos antes. (Pero pocas lo recuerdan). Corrijo pues mi dedicatoria: A Leon Werth Cuando era nino" "Este es, para mi, el mas bello y triste paisaje del mundo. Es el mismo paisaje de la pagina precedente, pero lo ha dibujado una vez mas para mostrarolos bien. Aqui fue donde el principito aparecio en la Tierra, y luego desaparecio.Mirad atentamente este paisaje a fin de estar seguros de que habreis de reconocerlo, si viajais un dia por el Africa, en el desierto. Y si llegais a pasar por alli, os suplico: no os apresureis; esperad un momento exactamente debajo de la estrella. Si entonces un nino llega hacia vosotros, si rie, si tiene cabellos de oro, si no responde cuando se le interroga, adivinareis quien es. B!Sed amables entonces! No dejeis tan triste. Escribidme en seguida, decidme que El Principito ha vuelto..."Edicion especial de lujo con dibujos y escritos originales del autor.

À propos de l'auteur

Antoine de Saint-Exupery, 1900 - 1944 Antoine de Saint-Exupery was born in Lyon, France on June 29, 1900. Saint-Exupery was educated in Jesuit schools. He later attended a Catholic boarding school in Switzerland before entering the Ecole de Beaux-Arts as an architecture student. de Saint-Exupery began his military service in 1921 and was sent to Strasbourgh to be trained as a pilot. He received his pilot's license in 1922 and, after a few dead end jobs as a bookkeeper and an automobile salesman, he began flying mail for a commercial airline company. His route over North Africa was the basis for his first novel, Southern Mail, in 1929. His second novel, Night Flight, became an international bestseller and was made into a film in 1933. By that time, de Saint-Exupery was married to Consuelo Gomez Castillo and was working as a test pilot for Air France. He was also working as a foreign correspondent covering May Day events in Moscow and writing a series on the Spanish Civil War. His book, Wind, Sand and Stars won the French Academy's 1939 Grand Prix du Roman and the National Book Award in the United States. He came to the United States after France fell in World War II, but rejoined the French Air Force in North Africa in 1943. That same year he published The Little Prince, a children's story of such universal appeal that it has been translated into close to fifty languages. Antoine de Saint-Exupery took off on a flight over Southern France on July 31, 1944 and was never seen again. In 1998, a fisherman found a bracelet with his name and his wife's name engraved on it, 150 kilometers west of Marseilles.
