Book Review: The Little Prince

Image
Books offer you different experiences if you are willing to spend time rereading it. The very first time I read it, was it 4 years ago? And I did not understand partly, because I was not knowledgeable enough to indulge any classics work at the time. As for now, I find myself hooked up by this Little Prince who is long for his only 4- petal flower protected in a glass dome whilst he has his journey to different planets. I find this book is meaningful. It was written long time ago, and yet it is so appealing to today's condition. How come? Did the world ever change? Did people actually ever change?  This book is highly relatable to our life, isn't it? This book is published in 1943. Written by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, this book remains popular even today. It has sold over a million copies a year. It was also voted as the best French book of the 20th century. It is still, in fact, one of the best selling books of ALL TIME (mind the caps lock, please).

After waiting for almost 3 weeks, I have finally held The Little Prince copy! I get it from Book Depository. I bought it for only $3.90 ! Cool, right! I have found that indulging myself and getting lost in deep thought while reading classics works is so worth all of your money and time. It is like you throw yourself back to the time when people had no time for leisuring, yet they created amazing works that are still appealing to today's condition. I have always been hooked by classics. I think I have read some from Bronte sisters, but you know, if you are a bibliophile, you surely do not want to not having the hardback copies of all of classics works. Like, you know, you really should start piling them up so you can inherit valuable, meaningful books to your kids in the future. But hardback copies are so damn pricey, however they are all worth your money. Like seriously...
