A long time ago, a pilot had to make an emergency landing in the middle of the desert. He was alone and had only a few days' worth of drinking water left. The next morning, he was awakened by a voice: "Please draw me a sheep!" it said, and thus begins perhaps the most famous story of friendship between a human and a resident of another world. The little prince, who leaves his planet with its three volcanoes and vain rose in search of a friend, has made the French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry a cult author. In 1943, in the midst of World War II, this passionate aviator wrote this testament to humanity. "The Little Prince" became one of the greatest book successes of the post-war era and is still passed down from generation to generation.
