Hello friends, good vibes everyone.

It turns out that I was tidying up the bookstore that I have in my house and hidden there among books and books I get this small copy of one of the all-time classics of world literature, The Little Prince. I remember reading it when I was in school but I think that one at that age does not give it the real importance that this book deserves and that is basically because of all the teachings it leaves us.
This work was written by the French Antoine de Saint-Exupery in 1943 and tells the story of a little prince who leaves his asteroid where he lives on a great adventure through the universe where he realizes how peculiar the adults see life and various aspects of it.

- Resumen // Summary.
The story begins with a pilot who makes an emergency landing in the Sahara desert because his plane broke down and he needs to repair it. In the meantime, a prince appears to him who comes from the asteroid B612 and who also asks the pilot to draw him a lamb. The story of the boa takes us back to the childhood of the pilot who when he drew it everyone told him that it was a hat when it was not, it was a boa that had eaten an elephant.
The pilot and the Little prince!
As the story goes by, our pilot realizes the fascinating story behind the little prince who, as I told you, lives in an asteroid accompanied by a rose and three volcanoes and also loves to watch the sunsets.

On any day on the ground of the asteroid a flower is born but this flower had a peculiarity, which was quite capricious and a bit dramatic and the prince did not like that so he decides to leave the asteroid to find new friends. In fact, during his journey, he travels through other asteroids where he has the opportunity to meet various slightly peculiar characters who unknowingly teach him a great life lesson. Which? - well that the adults are always so busy with "important" things that they forget to appreciate life itself.

Once the little prince arrives on Earth, he comes into contact with all kinds of plants, animals and people, all this before meeting the pilot. One of the most important characters in this story is a fox who will teach him the immense value of love and friendship by making him realize how much he appreciates his flower on his asteroid.
That is why after all that great journey that the prince undertook, it was out of nostalgia for not being near his flower that he decided to return home. Another thing that he could also notice in his adventure is that he could see with his own eyes how disappointing the world is and the lives of adults, which was a reason for him to decide to return to his asteroid.
- Opinión.
The book without fear to say it is one of the most important literary works of all time, the truth is that if you have not had time or opportunity to read it, I suggest you go and do it. And this is mainly because it is as adults when we can better understand everything that this story wants to tell us, I am not saying that a child cannot but as adults it is very possible that it makes us open our eyes to many things.
"Lo esencial es invisible a los ojos."
The essential is invisible to the eyes.
It is the MOST powerful phrase in the book and the fox says it to the prince. Its meaning is simple and it is that the real and true value of things lies in our heart and not in how we look at things since we can fall into superficiality; It is something like that you do not have to live by appearances.
There are many characters, among them are: The vain, the lamplighter, the drunkard, the geologist, the businessman, the king, etc, etc. For example, all these characters that I just mentioned are the inhabitants of all the asteroids that the prince visited and ALL of them show a "personality" or way of being of the adults. Very busy people, people who are only aware of themselves, people without attachments, people with a lust for power, people who do not have motivation, etc.
Hence, the little prince did not like the way adults see life at all. Friends, anyway, this book reminded me that the most important things in life are often not the material ones. Go read it and if you have already done it, do like me and read it again.
¡Un abrazo a todos, nos leemos en la próxima!
Well my people for today is everything, I hope you liked it.
¡A hug to all, we read in the next one!
