Few stories are as widely read and as universally cherished by children and adults alike as The Little Prince. Richard Howard's new translation of the beloved classic-published to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Antoine de Saint-Exup‚ry's birth-beautifully reflects Saint-Exup‚ry's unique and gifted style. Howard, an acclaimed poet and one of the preeminent translators of our time, has excelled in bringing the English text as close as possible to the French, in language, style, and most important, spirit. The artwork in this new edition has been restored to match in detail and in color Saint-Exup‚ry's original artwork. By combining the new translation with restored original art, Harcourt is proud to introduce the definitive English-language edition of Ingram "In the exquisite imagery of this fairy tale, the poet-writer shares with children something of the mystic's vision and wisdom of life."--New York Public Library. --This text refers to the School & Library Binding edition. About the Author Antoine de Saint-Exupery (1900-1944) was born in Lyons, France. A year after the publication of The Little Prince, Saint-Exupery disappeared over the Mediterranean while flying a reconnaissance mission for his French air squadron. Best known throughout the world as the author and illustrator of The Little Prince, Saint-Exupery wrote several other books that also have become classics of world literature. The translator, Richard Howard, is the author of eleven books of poetry, including Untitled Subjects, which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1970, and most recently, Trappings. He is the translator of more than 150 works from the French, including The Charterhouse of Parma. In 1984 he received the American Book Award for his translation of Charles Baudelaire's Les Fleurs du Mal. Mr. Howard lives in New York City.

曾經，他是老師眼中的希望。大學畢業之後，他進入社會的浮沉，在幻滅的理想人生中掙扎。直到十六年後，才在一個最偶然的機會和老師重逢。而他的老師，只剩下生命中最後幾個月時間。於是，他又上了14堂他老師的星期二的課。這次，課上的學生只有他一人…… 本書作者在昔日恩師生命的最後幾個月，每星期二到老師家看他、這位誨人不倦的老師墨瑞．史瓦茲，面對著死亡一步一步逼近，不僅自己勇敢面對，窮究其多面的意義，更藉著與學生米奇的談話，一點一點柔軟了米奇因世故而僵硬的心，讓他重新看待生活。 這位墨瑞，誠實地看見自己在死亡面前的恐懼、脆弱與哀傷，承認自己對人世的眷戀不捨，但他掙脫這些情緒的束縛，展現出洞澈人生之後的清明與安靜，並且帶著幽默感。 也許你和作者一樣，年輕時曾遇到過這麼一個人，他比你年長，有耐心又有智慧，懂得你年輕徬徨的心，教導你為人處世之道。但是，你後來與他斷了連絡，獨自在人生路上奮鬥，你的視野變窄，你的夢想褪色。再沒有人在你身邊為你指引方向，告訴你生命的路怎麼走。 作者在這樣的時刻和老師重聚，上了最後的一門課，一門學著如何活在世上、如何對待死亡的課。如今我們也有幸旁聽這堂課，汲取其中的溫暖與智慧。這是個會發光發熱的真實故事，讀後讓你一輩子感到溫馨。

在线阅读本书 Book Description The classic tale of a group of English school boys who are left stranded on an unpopulated island, and who must confront not only the defects of their society but the defects of their own natures. Amazon.com William Golding's classic tale about a group of English schoolboys who are plane-wrecked on a deserted island is just as chilling and relevant today as when it was first published in 1954. At first, the stranded boys cooperate, attempting to gather food, make shelters, and maintain signal fires. Overseeing their efforts are Ralph, "the boy with fair hair," and Piggy, Ralph's chubby, wisdom-dispensing sidekick whose thick spectacles come in handy for lighting fires. Although Ralph tries to impose order and delegate responsibility, there are many in their number who would rather swim, play, or hunt the island's wild pig population. Soon Ralph's rules are being ignored or challenged outright. His fiercest antagonist is Jack, the redheaded leader of the pig hunters, who manages to lure away many of the boys to join his band of painted savages. The situation deteriorates as the trappings of civilization continue to fall away, until Ralph discovers that instead of being hunters, he and Piggy have become the hunted: "He forgot his words, his hunger and thirst, and became fear; hopeless fear on flying feet." Golding's gripping novel explores the boundary between human reason and animal instinct, all on the brutal playing field of adolescent competition. --Jennifer Hubert From School Library Journal Grade 10 Up?A solid tool for the study of William Golding's classic novel. Sixteen critical selections from both journals and books are arranged in chronological order by date of publication from 1961 to 1993. The examined topics, length and completeness of entries, and depth of analysis present a wide range of material. Articles selected by Bloom have not previously appeared in works easily accessible to most readers. There is little duplication with "Contemporary Literary Criticism" (Gale) or with "British Writers" (Scribners); both cover less ground. Clarice Swisher's Readings on Lord of the Flies (Greenhaven, 1997) includes two of the same critics, but Bloom's book has complete articles rather than excerpts. While some readers may struggle with these selections, the book is an excellent resource. Gail Richmond, San Diego Unified Schools, CA From Booklist A plane crashes on an uninhabited tropical island during wartime. A group of schoolboys--the sole survivors--form their own society, an experiment that quickly descends into chaos and death in Golding's classic allegory. Listening Library recently rereleased this historic 1976 recording, and the timing could not be more apt. As CNN keeps viewers on edge with the latest military overtures in the real world and the reality TV show "Survivor" offers escape in the form of backstabbing, bug-eating "tribal" rituals, LORD OF THE FLIES gives the reader a lucid and chillingly objective mirror to our modern society. William Golding's narration is as impartial as his work, yet his grumbly, grandfatherly voice, complete with mid-sentence sniffs and swallows, is intimate. Included on the tapes is background on how he came to conceive the book and a brief rebuttal to critics about its meaning. M.M.O.
