Author Antoine was a pilot who fought against the Nazi German army, often observing from the sky. He witnessed the endless human struggle for political power and material interests. His firsthand experience of war gave him a broader perspective and deeper wisdom, which he wrote about in “The Little Prince.”

Antoine’s stories are filled with philosophical insights, such as the superstitious merchant, the wise fox, and the self-deceiving drunkard, which serve as a satirical critique of modern society. This touching fable is a beautiful oasis of ideas that is worth reading and rereading.
