Overview
El primer libro ilustrado del artista español que hay detrás de las portadas icónicas de la arrolladora saga Blackwater.
Venerado por generaciones de lectores —pequeños y grandes— en todo el mundo, El principito es un clásico inagotable que logra conmovernos en cada lectura.
La historia de Saint-Exupéry narra el encuentro, en la soledad del desierto del Sáhara, entre un aviador que ha sufrido una avería y un niño que se acerca a él para pedirle el dibujo de un cordero. Este hombrecito de cabellos dorados, que ha viajado por varios planetas antes de recalar en la Tierra, es muy sabio en su inocencia. Su capacidad para el asombro y su arrojo en las preguntas constituyen el origen de las poderosas reflexiones sobre la vida que atesoran estas páginas.
Puede que el piloto que nos cuenta la historia no consiguiera desarrollar su talento artístico, pero sin duda sí lo ha hecho Pedro Oyarbide, que ha reinterpretado con inigualable maestría uno de los libros más entrañables de la literatura universal. Sus ilustraciones, vibrantes y detalladas, nos ofrecen la extraordinaria oportunidad de asomarnos a El principito como si fuera la primera vez.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The first illustrated book by the Spanish artist behind the iconic covers of the sweeping Blackwater saga.
Venerated by generations of readers —young and old— around the world, The Little Prince is an inexhaustible classic that moves us with every reading.
Saint-Exupéry’s story recounts the encounter, in the solitude of the Sahara Desert, between an aviator who has suffered a breakdown and a boy who approaches him to ask for a drawing of a sheep. This little golden-haired boy, who has traveled to several planets before arriving on Earth, is very wise in his innocence. His capacity for wonder and his boldness in asking questions are the source of the powerful reflections on life contained in these pages.
The pilot who tells us the story may not have been able to develop his artistic talent, but Pedro Oyarbide certainly has: he has reinterpreted with unmatched mastery one of the most beloved books in world literature. His vibrant, detailed illustrations offer us the extraordinary opportunity to approach The Little Prince as if for the first time.
