Bezaubernde Geschichte über die philosophische Reise des kleinen Prinzen. "Die Zeit, die du für deine Rose verloren hast, sie macht deine Rose so wichtig." Dieser Satz des Fuchs lehrt den kleinen Prinzen, dass alles im Leben von Bedeutung sein kann, wenn man für es Zeit und Fürsorge aufkommen lässt. Beziehungen in unserem Leben werden für uns wertvoll, weil wir Zeit in sie investieren. Andere mögen dich vielleicht belächeln, da du deine Zeit mit einer "schwachen, vergänglichen" Rose vertreibst, aber nur du weißt, wie viel Freude diese Rose dir schenkt, da sie dir wichtig ist, weil du Zeit und Fürsorge in diese Beziehung mit ihr gesteckt hast.
An der Geschichte hat mir nicht gefallen, dass die Beziehung zwischen der Rose und dem Prinzen sehr konservativ durch die Linse des Patriarchats portraitiert wurde. Die Rose wird als passiv, schwach, hilflos und nur auf ihre Schönheit bedacht dargestellt. Der kleine Prinz hingegen als aktiv, abenteuerlich und als Beschützer und Versorger der Rose.
Zudem ist es mir bitter aufgestoßen, das N-Wort im Buch zu lesen. Neuausgaben sollten dieses veraltete, menschenfeindliche Wort streichen!

Feel it should be an essential read for all companies and should especially feature in the conversation about setting values for a startup. It makes you think about why we do what we do, the purpose of work and life, hard work and dedication. A "children's book" that just develops new meanings for adults.

this book? pure childhood vibes. i used to be OBSESSED with the little prince tv show as a kid. i can’t even remember which channel it was on (maybe it’s buried in the depths of my brain alongside the theme song), but i do remember this: it came on late, and no amount of “go to bed!” from my mom was stopping me from watching it. i’d sit there, completely glued to the screen, dreaming of stars and foxes and tiny planets.
so, naturally, when i picked up the book, i was hit with a wave of nostalgia so strong it felt like time-travel.
the vibes
let’s be honest: the plot is still a mystery to me. something about a boy who lives on an asteroid, talks to a fox, and has major beef with a rose? sure, i don’t fully get it, but i don’t think you’re supposed to? this book isn’t about making sense; it’s about feelings. and the feelings? oh, they hit. it’s whimsical, bittersweet, and just a little weird in that perfect “only kids would understand” kind of way.
why it works
the nostalgia factor: reading this brought back all the wonder and magic i felt as a kid. it’s one of those rare books that makes you feel like you’re eight years old again, staring up at the stars and wondering if there’s a tiny prince out there somewhere.
the simplicity: the story is simple, but in a way that’s so deeply profound it sneaks up on you. it’s like an adult trying to explain life to a kid but accidentally teaching themselves a lesson in the process.
the vibes: the art, the writing, the little metaphors—it’s all so soft and dreamy. even if you don’t fully get what’s going on, it’s impossible not to feel something.
final thoughts
this book is like a little time capsule of childhood wonder, and i love it for that. sure, it’s confusing at times, but that’s part of the charm. it doesn’t need to make perfect sense—it just needs to make you feel. and for me, it did.
four stars for nostalgia, vibes, and fox wisdom. would recommend if you want to feel like a kid again or just need a gentle reminder that “what is essential is invisible to the eye.”
