The best book

Well… From me is easy choose the best book I have ever read, because I read not much.
My favorite book is “The Little Prince”, by Antoine De Saint-Exupery. This is a French author and pilot and he published this book in 1946 (postwar).
“The Little Prince” narrate the story of a kind that live in other planet with a flower. A day, the prince decide visit several planets and meet various adults: a drunk, a mathematician, a king, etc. They all seem to him very decadent.
When the little prince arrive to Earth, he meet a fox and they become friends. Later, the little prince meet a pilot and he tells his story. The pilot is a adult and he don´t understand the life and the important thing of the prince. In this moment the little prince is angry and teach his important lessons.

I love “The Little Prince” because it criticise the adults and the important things from they. I think that it is a critical to modern and capitalist life. 
<<If someone loves a flower of which just one example exists among all the millions and millions of stars, that's enough to make him happy when he looks at the stars. He tells himself, 'My flower's up there somewhere...' But if the sheep eats the flower, then for him it's as if, suddenly, all the stars went out. And that isn't important?' >>

  1. I've always loved this story.

    However, the second part is a bit sad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYB2J6Ef-HY
