Pikku Prinssi Il Piccolo Principe in lingua finlandese

Arnaldo Ageno — Wed, 29 Jun 2022 15:29:40 +0000

Pikku Prinssi on Antoine de Saint-Exupéryn kaunis, filosofinen satu pienestä avaruuden matkaajasta ja pakkolaskun tehneestä lentäjästä.

Muistathan kuuluisan taivaankappaleen, jolla on kolme polvenkorkuista tulivuorta, jättiläismäisiksi kasvavia baobabeja ja oikullinen, turhamainen ja epäluuloinen kukka, jota ei pidä koskaan kuunnella, vain hoitaa ja suojella? Se on Pikku Prinssin oma tähti, Asteroidi B 612, jolta on kotoisin yksi maailman tunnetuimmista satuhahmoista.

Saint-Exupéryn kuuluisan tarinan lempeä irvailu aikuisten keksimille säännöille on saanut vastakaikua kaikissa maanosissa. Tässä Pikku Prinssin alkuperäisessä laitoksessa on mukana tekijän oma, runollinen kuvitus.
