The Little Prince is a masterpiece with an universal significance, and everybody reads it with a different perspective. How is the Little Prince perceived in Korea, Greece, Germany or Brazil ? In these countries, what forms can he take ?

Let’s start this world tour with Korea !

In Korea, the Little Prince’s series is aired on TV on a regular basis, gathering an average 15% of the 5 to 12 years old children.

The books and comics from the Little Prince series are also quite popular.These books are slightly stiffer than the other. They often come with stickers or promotional objects. About 20 books and 5 comics are available in Korean.

 

In Korea, the Little Prince has an exhibition, traveling into the whole country, meeting people in the big cities. The exhibition started in June.

There is also a contest, organized by the publisher Petit Samtoh and the newspaper Children’s Dong A (daily printrun : 400 000 copies). The students from the elementary schools were asked to send a short story about the Little Prince’s adventures. At the end of the contest, the winners will be given gold, silver or bronze medal. The contest’s promotion in the newspaper, the publisher’s catalog, on the web and in many booklets makes the Little Prince easily visible in Korea.

 

 

 

 

But the highlight of the show was the Little Prince’s asteroid !

 

In 2002, the role of the Little Prince was played by Jeff, a young singer just 13 years of age. The part of the aviator was played by Quebec singing star Daniel Lavoie. The show was an enormous success and even travelled to South Korea, where the Little Prince has many friends. Let’s start the week on a nostalgic note with a clip from the show, featuring the song Puisque c’est ma rose.

 

The Little Prince is a beautiful story, and meeting some people can make a fine story, too. Whether it is a businessman in Korea, a teacher in France, a video game developer in Brazil, a therapist in the south of France, all have an unusual story to do with the Little Prince, a story that influences their everyday life.   They are the modern-day proof of the tale’s unfading universality. Meet Mr. Han, Rafael, Emeline and Véronique in the “Portrait” section.

 

 

And feel free to tell us about how you first met the Little Prince.

For three days in June 2009, the Collège des Bernardins (Paris VI) was permeated by the mind and thoughts of Saint-Exupéry. Over 250 participants from all over the world came together in honour of a writer who shared with us his concerns for the world of tomorrow.   Three days of reflection and personal accounts of social and cultural campaigns inspired by the thinking of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

 

 

Three days during which representatives of countries including Brazil, Japan or South Korea spoke of the influence of the Little Prince in their home country. A number of well-known figures addressed the meeting: author and Academician Erik Orsenna, writers Alain Vircondelet and Jean-Pierre Guéno, actress Marie-Christine Barrault, etc.

 

 

Now a special website dedicated exclusively to the event offers you an insight, in photos and videos, into these three days of sharing.  Newcomers to the subject will gain a better understanding of why the work of Saint-Exupéry and its mysteries continue to arouse such passionate interest today. You can also find out more about some of the work done by voluntary groups (the Little Prince Hospital in Brazil, « Dessine-moi un mouton », etc.). One more good cause is featured on the website: the Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Youth Foundation.  Find out more : official website

Over 300 friends of Saint-Exupéry from all over the world came together at the Collège des Bernardins (Paris V)…

Over 300 friends of Saint-Exupéry from all over the world came together at the Collège des Bernardins (Paris V). For three days, those closely involved in the ongoing story of Saint-Exupéry today spoke at conferences and round-tables. A wide-ranging panorama was painted of multimedia projects in the pipeline and of the latest events in the world of non-profit associations or publishing. Over the three days, discussions of  Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s ideas and his modernity enlivened the debates and round-tables.  As far as the Little Prince himself was concerned, countries where the book is extremely popular (South Korea, Japan, Brazil, etc.) were well represented, and eager to recount what was happening at home. Participants were also given the very first sight of the Little Prince as he is to appear in a future TV series, and were also introduced to the pop-up edition of the tale.

Closing the three-day event, the official launch of the Fondation Saint-Exupéry pour la Jeunesse was held in the immense nave of the newly-restored Collège. The foundation, which is fortunate in having as its sponsors such well-known figures as journalist Patrick Poivre d’Arvor and astronaut Claudie Haigneré, among others, aims to aid young people in difficulty, in particular by helping them gain entry into employment.
