Le petit prince – The book that made me what I am

The Little Prince is known to be a book for children written for grown-ups. It is the book of my life.
I can never get tired of the story. Despite the number of times I have read it, it is always a fascinating story, with multiple layers that morph as you grow up.
If you do not know the story, stop immediately, run to your nearest library and get the book.
STOP READING, I SAID!
You are missing a wonderful, unpretentious tale that never gets old. Besides, it has the most beautiful watercolour illustrations made by the writer\narrator, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
In a nutshell, this is a story of an aviator that crashes his aeroplane in the Sahara Desert and meets a little boy who asks him to

  • All Quiet On The Western Front By Eric Maria Remarque

    The book itself never became too boring to keep reading. The amount of detailing Remarque used was extremely effective. It was long enough to keep a vivid picture in the reader’s mind of what was happening, and wasn’t too long as to become tedious. There is only one criticism that some may have of this particular novel. Remarque usually named the characters just by their last name, but that was not always the case.

    It is a great love story only enhanced by the outlandish characters and constant mockery. The pacing of the novel is slow at first until half way through the first volume. The plot then accelerates and by the third volume it is hard to put down. Characters such as Mr. Collins, Mrs. Bennet, and Lady De Bourgh were all hysterical caricatures meant that livened up the novel during times when the plot was thin. The novel would not have been as cohesive or interesting without characters to add comic relief.

  • Beauty And The Frog Prince By Matthew Gregory Lewis

    As Matthew Gregory Lewis indicates, however, the ballad also differs from fairy tales in some respects, in spite of sharing a set of motifs with them. The fact that Sir Gawain has to transform a woman back contradicts the composition of the classical fairytale; even though the motif of enchantment is technically given here, it works in a slightly different manner than usual: in the well-known fairy tales the audience typically comes across transformed princes rather than princesses (cf. Haase 2: 770), such as in the originally French tale Beauty and the Beast or the Brothers Grimm's The Frog Prince; consequently, it is usually the heroine breaking these spells, as the princes can only be disenchanted by a woman, usually by means of an act of
