The disclosure values of life in a fairy tale "the Little Prince"
Exupéry wrote the tale that went far beyond genre. It seems to me that this work is like a parable that makes us think about the universal human moral values and mysteries of existence. The little Prince is an amazing character, combining the immediacy and simplicity of a child, and the ability to understand the true nature of things that is usually available to the wise elderly.
Pilot, the author was forced to make an emergency landing in the Sahara desert. During the repair of the aircraft saw a mysterious Golden-haired boy who was presented by the inhabitant of asteroid B-612, and wished the pilot drew lamb. Thus began their friendship. The child told the pilot about visiting different planets, about the feelings for his rose, about friendship with a Fox and a meeting with a sinister snake. According to the boy, the adults are very strange – they can't enjoy the world, they always compute something or lie to ourselves. Some even become dependent, for example, a Drunken resident of one of the planets. On another planet he really liked the Lamplighter because he faithfully lit in the evenings, the lights and extinguished them in the morning. He would have stayed with Lamplighter on the star, but there was too little space. Pilot Prince fell in love with, because this grown man could think and feel like a child.
Action hero are striking in their originality. His touching concern for the capricious, proud rose, requiring irrigation, coverings of a glass cap is so soft and the touch so gentle. Arriving on Earth, the Little Prince is surprised that there are so many kings, geographers, alcoholics – only 2 billion adults. Therefore, I could only make friends with the little snake, a Fox, and then with the pilot. Lis taught to be friends, and the snake promised to help to return from whence he came.
The boy saw many colors, like his beloved rose. But she thought that the only thing in the world. And then he thought, why is rose so dear to him. Because the Prince she remained beloved. The flower and the child became friends, filling our hearts with love, breathing his life into the life of another. "On your planet – said the Little Prince – people grow in the same garden of five thousand roses... and you don't find what you're looking for..." "But eyes are blind. One must look with the heart."
The man himself does not notice how his house is warm and cozy, and the stars are distant and attractive. To realize this is possible only through kind and sensitive heart, where there is no place for anger, jealousy, greed and lies. Only such a heart is able to find happiness and joy hidden inside the shell.
Finally came the moment of separation. The little Prince went to the serpent that was supposed to bite, and then the hero could move to their planet. The boy did not even cry, and began slowly and quietly to sink to the sand...
The author still recalls meeting an unusual young man under the influence of which regained the ability to see the world through the eyes of a child who understands more than adults. "The little Prince" is a fine parable about the relationship. To yourself. For their planet. To the purity of intentions. For new unknown friends. To the beloved, whimsical and absurd, at first glance, the rose, which eventually turned into a real faithful friend. She came at the right time and was smart and loving "little girl."
Reading the works of A. de Saint-Exupery, stronger feel the beauty of the world and the power of the human desire for brotherhood. The writer and the pilot died three weeks before the liberation of their native France (1944) – he did not return to base from combat missions, but his books still help us to better understand ourselves and the world.
The little Prince – a unique book because of the wealth of content. It is commonly called a philosophical tale: there are a lot of sentences about love, friendship, sensitivity and responsibility. The author showed the difference of perception of the world by adults and children. Unique baby showed a sensitivity, innocence, purity of feelings, ability to understand complex things, which paradoxically disappear in adults.
