El Principito / The Little Prince (Spanish Edition)

[PAPERBACK VERSION][Purchased December 15, 2024, Received December 18, 2024]"El Principito" is the Spanish edition of the French story by Antoine De Saint-Exupéry. This is not a side-by-side translation of the story, so be careful if that is what you are looking for. This book is a fine resource for those beginning to learn Spanish. That is why I purchased it, to begin with, and have found success in expanding my vocabulary and understanding tenses, and conjugations better.The story itself is easy to follow and as long as you have a basic understanding of Spanish, a dictionary will only be needed for a handful of words each chapter. I've never read the book not in Spanish so I don't know how exact the translations are, but I never found myself confused when reading it.The book's quality is decent, with a smooth glossy cover on the paperback version. When I received mine, it had a big crease along the cover and first 18 pages which has stayed there for four months. That being said, this damage doesn't detract from the experience itself and it would seem that my case was rare and likely not the fault of the publisher. It might be better to buy the hardcover version if something like that would dissuade you from buying it.The book features the original watercolor paintings of the author, Saint-Exupéry within a large portion of the pages. These illustrations really add to the story and often provide good comic relief. They can help those who don't fully understand the story to follow along. The story also directly mentions most of the illustrations as they are an integral part of it.If you start learning Spanish or are trying to immerse yourself in the language, this book is a great starting point.

I read it about 40 years ago and one of the best I have ever read, of eternal relevance and a lot of understanding and respect for all kinds of life, reflection and LOVE... Thank you M. (Antoine de Saint-Exupéry) ...!!

Sin dudas un libro que me ha acompañado toda la vida y que en toda epics me deja grandes enséñanzas, un imprescindible del desarrollo humano
