(ESP-ENG) Blogging Challenge # 1. Día 11. Libro favorito de mi infancia 📕

I read this book when I was 11 years old, until then, I had read encyclopedias (for homework), books of short stories, but certainly had not awakened in me that love for reading and perhaps I had not yet experienced feeling through words. At that age I was very struck by the fact that it was a picture book, colorful a priori, but once I started reading it, I did not stop reading it and to date I have read it about 10 times and it always makes me feel very tender.

The Little Prince is an excellent literary piece to awaken curiosity, written by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the story narrates the adventures of the little prince, a boy who, after having arguments with a rose he was taking care of, embarked on a journey through the universe, visiting 6 planets before arriving on Earth, where he befriends a pilot in the desert who tells the adventures of the little prince.

On the first planets he meets beings with whom he has conversations, on the first planet he meets an egocentric king of a desolate planet, on the second planet he meets a vain man with a strange hat, while on the third planet he meets an alcoholic man, on the fourth planet he meets a supposed businessman who is dedicated to counting stars so he can own them, at this time the little prince, upon learning about the anti-values of these beings, is discouraged about adulthood or adults as he calls them.
On the sixth planet he meets a geographer who, not having explorers, does not know the geography of his own planet and it is he who tells the little prince that he should visit the Earth.

On Earth, of course my favorite part, there are three important characters, a fox whom the little prince tames, an aviator (whom I told you about before) and a snake. It is important to note that the little prince meets the pilot after he falls with his plane in the desert, so this character at times thinks that everything is a product of hallucinations and... who knows?

What is known is that this is a work that gives very beautiful lessons and that although it is a children's book, it can also serve you when you read it as an adult because it shows you a much deeper perspective of the scenes and dialogues.
