Did he died?

The Little Prince

My condolences, OP. I hope she gets better.

If you want a book with content, innocence and beauty, I couldn't recommend more "The Little Prince".
This is everything you want. Also, read it yourself if you haven't yet (but with no prejudice, this is a children's book only in the sense that children will enjoy it too, though not by the same reasons).

Any good literature about the nostalgia for childlike cosmovision and general infancy innocence/wisdom?
Pic related, I guess.

Is this really as good as everyone says it is, or is it overhyped/overrated?

I never got around to reading it, which my gf was quite surprised by, saying that it is an 'essential' piece of literature

what's the deal here

First book that I self-initiatively took into my hands and red, age 7.

What do you think about pic related /lit/?

Who here really enjoyed
>The Little Prince

as a kid?

It's still my favorite book to this day. I just wish the author had given the characters actual names. It's also quite sad what happened to the author,

this was the first book i read for pleasure, got me started

What are your thoughts your thoughts on "The Little Prince" /lit/?

what's so special about this book? it felt like few random stories without any conclusion at the end.

Hi.

I'm a dramatist (not a very good one, I guess) who was currently thinking in training his hand in writing a children's book. I would like to create something especial for my nephew, something new and fresh and offered firstly to him. I would also use the opportunity to take a break from my theater compositions, something that has been affecting my health (nervous problems). But there is one problem, a great problem: I don't have the gift of creating plots and stories. Of all the gifts that nature has denied me this is one of the most embarrassing and frustrating.

You guys must be wondering: "If the guy cant create plots, then how the hell does he write plays?". The fact is that for my theater plays I always used old plots from taken from movies and short stories, blending one with another and another and cooking it into something new. This method, however, is not being effective this time: the good books for children are often so idiosyncratic and unique that you simply cant really use them as source material.

I know the basics of drawing, so I could make the art of the book myself. The real problem here is plotting. I was wondering if you guys could give me some advices on how to start modeling ideas that are suitable to be refined and combined into young-people-literature material.

Thank you.

Pic: The kind of children's book that I would love to write, but who seems inaccessible to me.

Is there any point in reading children books, such as The Little Prince, as an adult?

not big deal

You guys always criticize adults for enjoying books written for children e.g. Harry Potter and Hunger Games

But what about Le Petit Prince? That book was voted the best 20th century book in the French language

What makes that book more acceptable to read than anything else?

They made us read this

In reality, not a bad book
But we are all just going to be second graders. All the themes and ideas just passed through our heads and all I remembered was the prince trying to eat the fox or something like that. Just goes to show you that you can't jump tiers

Keep this one on the toilet.

I might be wrong by /lit standards

The Little Prince as a kid.

The Black Swan by Taleb got me interested in philosophy/non-fic a year after I was done with high school.
