One of the best spiritual books ever written for me is The Little Prince by Antoint de Saint-Exupery. Although is usually sold as book for children, it is nevertheless book for adults, because more then children, adults are they who need to be reminded on simple truths about real values in human life.
This enchanting novel came into my life on my 20th birthday as a present from one special person. In the following years I discovered that guy who gave me that book was not so special at all, but The Little Prince stayed with me as my faithful and sparkling companion in the many crucial moments of my life.
Antoint de Saint Exupery, world famous writer and pilot, wrote it to his and our inner child, this little sparkle of joy, love and innocence everyone of us carry in the hearts. His words touch deeply, they lead to the core of reader`s inner being and open hearts of the reader for the accepting the deeper meaning of human existence in universe.
The Little Prince is powerful story, written from pure essence of love, simple and unbelievable strong . It also faces us with our many human ego-trips which do not allow us to experience freedom and joy of life and make us, adults so rigid and strange in innocent eyes of children.
While travelling with the little prince through the universe and accompanying him on the Earth reader will experience many moments of inner enlightenment, moments of joy and deep sadness. Yes, this adventurous novel is deeply emotional from the very beginning to the end - it surrounds one with brilliant sparkles of deep love and innocence, it makes one laugh and cry together with the little prince, it teaches one responsibility, it gently heals the soul, it reminds one on truth about immortality, it shows to all of us the ways how we can create much better world then we now live in and explains one why is this worthwhile.
Maybe you have seen the novel before -The Little Prince, or not. Tonight, I’m so happy to share with you about my feeling after I have seen it. Actually, I’m deeply attracted, touched by the protagonist of the story: the pure & innocent little prince.
After leaving his home planet and his beloved rose, the little prince journeys around the universe, ending up on earth. Before the prince lands on earth, the prince hops from one neighbouring planet to another. On each planet, the prince meets a different type of adult and reveals frivolities and weakness.(other than the fifth figure ,I think ,it seems the lamplighter’s selfless devotion to his orders earns him the little prince’s admiration.Once on earth, however, the little prince becomes a student as well as a teacher .From his friend “the fox”, the little prince learns three important lessons: Only the heart can see correctly; The prince’s time away from his planet has made him appreciate his rose more; Love entails-responsibility . And in turn, he passed on those lessons to the narrators before.
At last, there is a screen depict the novel. It’s when the railway switchman works for enormous trains that rush back and forth. Everybody has an experience of a journey, but the rushed voyages never result in happiness because as the switchman informs the princes, people are never happy where they are. Also the train trains rush at each other from opposite direction, suggesting the efforts grown-ups make are contradictory and purposeless. As for the children, they see that the journey is more important than the destination and press their faces the window on their journey, taking in the scenery. So sometimes the efforts we did make our lot better is futile.
Two funny picture, let’s your imagination wander in your mind, and share with me your thought, thank you.
despite i‘ve not in my childhood yet, i still prefer reading fairy-tale stories. the tales, which accompany with me in my old days, often make me think of some precious experience and sensation which only belong to children. this summer i‘ve review this kind of tale, which was published in 1940. it‘s the world-famous fairy-tale by the french author, antoine de st-exupery, the little prince.
as many other fairy-tales, the outline of the little prince is not very complex. ―i‖, the narrator of the story, is a pilot whose plane has something wrong and lands in the sahara. in this occasion, the pilot makes the acquaintance of the little prince, a little boy from another planet, the asteroid b612. the little prince has escaped from his tiny planet, because he has some quarrel with a rose, which grows on his planet. in that case he left his own planet and took an exploration at some neighbor asteroids.
on his all-alone journey, the little prince meets different kinds of people, which includes a king, a conceited man, a tippler, a businessman, a lamplighter and a geographer. from these people he gets a conclusion that the grown-ups are very odd. following the instruction of the geographer, he descends in the sahara, on the earth.
traveling on the earth, the little prince, who sees a garden of five-thousand roses, is overcome with astonishment and sadness, as he considers his rose is unique in the universe before. at that time a fox appears. the fox, who tell the little prince about the meaning of the word ―tame‖, becomes his new friend. at the time to say farewell, the fox makes him know that his rose is unique because she is his rose and tamed by him. from that the little prince begins to treasure friendship and be responsible to his rose.
at the anniversary day of his descent of the earth, rejecting the pilot‘s advice, he goes back to his own planet by bite of a snake. ―it‘s too far. i can not carry this body with me. it‘s too heavy.‖ he said. he tells his friend, the pilot, he must be responsible for his rose, so he has to go back. at the end the author doesn‘t tell us the ending directly. maybe it‘s more significant for us to imagine, and for more, think over.
one of the important characters is the rose. growing on the planet, she is very beautiful, but her coquetry and vanity suffer the little prince a lot. in spite of they love each other, he soon becomes unhappy. on the time of his departure, he just knows she certainly loves him. the character of the little prince actually represents the children, and their native thoughts and deeds. on the contrary, the inhabitants on the other planets, such as the king, the businessman and the conceited man, they also reflect the defects in the grown-up‘s world. the real theme of this fairy-tale with a little sadness, i guess, is the consequence of pure love and friendship in our lives, but not others ―matters of consequence‖ of the grown-ups.
unbelievable, this little book moved me a lot. i seldom think about the true meaning of love and life before. well, now i can say, with my short sixteen-year‘s life experience, it‘s like the stars in the sky that lit my heart. the little prince is not only an ordinary fairy-tale for children, but also for grown-ups, and our teenagers. nevertheless, when i read this book, i feel a little sad – about ourselves, whom are losing more and more innocence.
“如果有一个人爱着一朵花,千万颗星星上独一无二的一朵,当他仰望星空的时候就会感到幸福。”——摘自《小王子》
《小王子》是一本哲学童话。书的内容很简单,字里行间都透着一股淡淡的忧伤;而且,整本书是以一个孩子的角度去写的,而小王子的心灵是纯净的,就像……一杯清澈的水。
许多人随着年龄的增长,随着阅历的增加,心中的那杯水就渐渐浑浊了。有人感慨:岁月真是把***猪刀。或者说,岁月也是一滴滴墨水。它一点点的渗入你的心灵,滴入那杯纯净的水中。渐渐地,那杯澄清的水越来越浑浊,我们的心灵也不再有原有的纯净。
这本书是从“我”的角度,去讲述小王子游历各个星球的故事。小王子所居住的星球很小,他每天只需要拔掉新长出来的猴面包树树苗,疏通火山口,照顾星球上唯一的一朵玫瑰花。
有一天,他和星球上唯一的一朵玫瑰花吵架了,小王子决定离开这里,去别的星球看一看。他遇到了几个很奇怪的大人。狂妄自大的国王;财迷心窍的商人;迂腐,不懂得变通的点灯人;喜欢喝酒的酒鬼;爱慕虚荣的人和一个地理学家。狂妄自大的国王难道不知道自己的星球上只有他自己和一只小老鼠吗?商人日复一日年复一年的计算自己的财产有什么用呢?
小王子实在是弄不懂大人的世界,大人们总是不满足自己所拥有的东西,一旦得到了一样东西,大人们马上就会有下一个想要的东西,永远没有满足的一天,永远都在毫无止境的渴望自己想要得到的东西。直到,他来到了地球,驯养了一只小狐狸。对于那只小狐狸来说,小王子是这个世界上独一无二的。同样,对于小王子来说,成千上万朵玫瑰花,都比不上在B612星球上的那朵玫瑰花好,成千上万只狐狸都没有他亲自驯养的那只好。
“对我而言,你只不过是一个小男孩,就像其他千万个小男孩一样,我不需要你,你也同样不需要我。对你来说,我也不过是一直狐狸,就跟其他千万只狐狸一样。然而,你驯服了我,我们将会彼此需要。对我而言,你就是与宇宙唯一的了。我对你来说,也是世界上唯一的了。”小狐狸的这句告白令我印象十分深刻。小狐狸教会了小王子什么是爱,小王子认识到了他所追求的是什么,认识到了即使世界上有千千万万的玫瑰,但只有那一朵,在他的心中留下了痕迹。
小王子发现自己的身体无法回到B612星球后,毅然的选择让毒蛇咬死自己,灵魂回到心爱的玫瑰花身边。作者通过小王子纯净的双眼,观察了成人的世界,表现出了成人的寂寞,愚蠢和墨守成规,用平实,天真的语调写出了人类的孤独与寂寞,愚妄和迷惘。同时,也表达出了作者对孩童纯洁心灵的赞美。
联系生活实际,考试考了九十分,大人们总会问你:最高分是多少,有没有满分,你有没有比谁谁谁高分……总是不满足于现实,幻想着一切的可能。
可能……还没有成为大人的我们,心里都不是澄清的,而是骇人的浑浊,那杯水,早已被大人的价值观、世间万物所污染。
可能……还没有成为大人的我们,早已忘却了心灵纯净,是多么的美好。
可能……还没有成为大人的我们,早已忘却了那杯澄清的水的可爱摸样。
如果世界上的人们,都会用心感受爱,自然就能从本书中找到爱。世界因爱而美丽!
请抛开所有的束缚,抛开社会带给你的浮华,抛开灯红酒绿,物欲横流的城市带给你的喧嚣,静下心来,等待心中的玫瑰花绽放,让心中的那杯水一点点的恢复儿时的纯净……
