Le Petit Prince

Saint Exupéry, c'est parfait. Le Petit Prince, Vol de nuit, Courrier Sud, Terre des hommes, all somewhat similar and simple.

Le Petit Prince, Le petit Nicolas

Parent context: Would Le Petit Prince warrant a mention? Think it’s the most translated book in the world bar the by the bible perhaps. Though it’s aimed at kids, I read it recently as an adult and I loved it. Very sweet book full of hope and wonder. Reply: I'm pretty sure it's actually aimed at adults, or rather at children they used to be. And in my experience adults actually enjoy it more than kids do.

i’m reading "le petit prince", ie "the little prince", in french - and im also only at a rather intermediate level. it’s short, it’s mostly pretty simple language and it was originally written in french so it’s nice to read the original version.

The one book I've most often seen recommended for beginners is "Le petit prince", so that might be worth checking out.

I personally love the book and as a French teacher, I've read it many times. I find something new in it every single time. ... It's worth reading as a cute story, but it's better if you understand the purpose and symbolism behind it.

Well, it’s the most translated book after the Bible, so I’d say it’s very impactful

Le Petit Prince was featured on the former 50 francs banknote, so yes it is a big deal.

I do recommend Le Petit Prince as good read if you haven't done that one yet. It's manageable in size and difficulty and it's more interesting than you might expect from a children's story.
