An Prionsa Beag | Le Petit Prince as Gaeilge
An Irish language (as Gaeilge) translation of the classic favourite Le Petit Prince, known in English as The Little Prince.
A pilot is forced to land in the middle of the Sahara desert when the engine of his plane fails … and from this, comes one of the most wonderful tales ever told about how the pilot meets with An Prionsa Beag. It’s an unforgettable fable for children and adults; with colour illustrations by the author.
Literary translations are a delicate balance; they must capture the voice of the original author and carry that through faithfully into a new language. This translation of this classic work is remarkable in that the distinct and mysterious layers of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s storytelling can be heard clearly in the idioms and cadence of the Irish translation.
This book would make a wonderful gift. Parents reading it to their children will enjoy it’s philosophical message while their child will enjoy it’s simple story. It’s a book that is perfect for these times. It teaches us that we need to care for our world and it’s environment, it teaches us kindness, and that the most important things in life are often things we cannot see, like love and empathy.
