Story
A pilot stranded in the desert awakes one morning to see, standing before him, the most extraordinary little fellow. "Please," asks the stranger, "draw me a sheep." And the pilot realizes that when life's events are too difficult to understand, there is no choice but to succumb to their mysteries. He pulls out pencil and paper... And thus begins this wise and enchanting fable that, in teaching the secret of what is really important in life, has changed forever the world for its readers.

C'est souvent la question que se posent le Bouillon, le surveillant, M. Mouchabière, le directeur de l'école, et la maîtresse... Toujours est-il qu'avec cette bande de terribles copains, personne n'a vraiment le temps de s'ennuyer ! Benoît Poelvoorde anime les aventures du Petit Nicolas et ses amis pour nous faire revivre l'humour irrésistible et le génie de Sempé et Goscinny.

Les bouleversements de la première moitié du vingtième siècle - révolutions et guerres meurtrières, génocides, cracks économiques sans précédents - ont profondément transformé les bases même de la pensée européenne. Jusque là conquérante, positive, défrichant sans relâche ni lassitude les territoires de la pensée ou les derniers mystères du monde, elle se met à douter d'elle même et plus encore du sens même de l'existence.

Cette "Brève histoire de l'humanité" déroule notre histoire globale, des premiers hominidés à aujourd'hui et interroge l'avenir qui nous attend. Comment l'"Homo Sapiens" a-t-il réussi à dominer la Terre ? Quelle singularité nous a permis de s'unir pour créer villes et empires, l'idée de religion, les concepts politiques de nation ou plus récemment des droits de l'homme ? Pourquoi cette dépendance et cette croyance que notre bonheur dépend de l'argent et de la possibilité de consommer ?

Ses lecteurs vont pouvoir ensuite descendre ce grand fleuve aux lenteurs asiatiques et suivre la romancière dans tous les méandres du delta, dans la moiteur des rizières, dans les secrets ombreux où elle a développé l'incantation répétitive et obsédante de ses livres, de ses films, de son théâtre."

Un enregistrement exceptionnel : les cinq volumes des "Misérables", un des plus grands romans de la littérature française, enfin disponibles en livre audio. Jean Valjean, Cosette, les Thénardier, Gavroche, ou encore Javert sont autant de noms qui résonnent au-delà de l'histoire qui les a fait naître. Ces misérables sont décrits à la fois comme des archétypes du genre humain, mais aussi comme les produits d'une société génératrice de pauvreté, d'ignorance et de désespoir.

Editorial reviews
Le Petit Prince un grand classique français écrit par Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, qui en émerveille plus d’un. L’histoire est intemporelle, ce jeune garçon qui habite sur un astéroïde va décider de prendre son envol et partir à l’aventure sur d’autres planètes. Pendant son voyage il va rencontrer des personnages incroyables notamment un aviateur… le narrateur. Ce conte peut être vu comme philosophique c’est pour ceci que les petits comme les grands l’apprécient. Racontée par Bernard Giraudeau, l’histoire prend vie et nous fait voyager en même temps que le petit prince. Pour vous aider à vous envoler un peu plus loin, entre chaque chapitre de douces musiques d'ambiance accompagnent votre voyage.

The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world.

Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

"18 juillet. Hier à midi, sur la plage de Tipaza, un employé de bureau dénommé Meursault, demeurant rue Bab-Azoun à Alger, a tué de cinq balles de revolver un Arabe non encore identifié. Les motifs du crime restent inconnus. Arrêté, Meursault a été transféré à la prison d'Alger." Jugé, reconnu coupable de meurtre avec préméditation, condamné à mort et exécuté, on ne saura jamais pourquoi Meursault a tué. Il assiste à son procès comme si c'était un autre qu'on jugeait. Une profonde réflexion sur l'être et la vie.

The poignant life-and-death odyssey begins when the Little Prince mysteriously appears in the Sahara Desert and says to a downed Aviator, "If you please, draw me a sheep". The startled Aviator complies, but his drawing is rejected, and a conversation ensues with the Little Prince asking numerous questions and telling stories about the very strange grown-ups encountered on his interplanetary journey to Earth. It is later revealed that the Little Prince must return home to asteroid B612 to care for his rose, the one (and only) flower on his small and desolate planet.

Un enregistrement exceptionnel : les cinq volumes des "Misérables", un des plus grands romans de la littérature française, enfin disponibles en livre audio. Jean Valjean, Cosette, les Thénardier, Gavroche, ou encore Javert sont autant de noms qui résonnent au-delà de l'histoire qui les a fait naître. Ces misérables sont décrits à la fois comme des archétypes du genre humain, mais aussi comme les produits d'une société génératrice de pauvreté, d'ignorance et de désespoir.

If you are a French language learner looking to advance your reading skills and enhance your vocabulary, then this book will guide you through dialogue and story listening in your second language. We often are instructed with conventional activities in the form of worksheets, overlooking that words are 20 times more likely to be remembered if they are a part of a story (Bruner, 2017). Language learners retain more in the context of a story and become accustomed to the natural syntax of that language.

Magique / Magic
My very favorite thing to listen to when I was little: my 33 of Le Petit Prince read by the prominent theater actors such as Jean Dessailly, Suzanne Flon of yesteryears. This gift from my grandparents kept on giving so beautiful the spell this album casted. I became so attached to the story and the feeling emanating from it, that I always had a copy regardless of the various geographic moves.
As soon as I became a mother 16 year ago, finding an audible book to pass on the Magic I so celebrated to my son became a quest. Each time major disappointment.
FINALLY : here it is: I already fell into the spell of the beautiful diction and tone of Bernard Giraudeau a prolific actor both on stage and screens at my first listen of the previewing sample.
Do yourself a favor, stop everything, find your cozy spot and let yourself be transported.
Beautiful Fable Beautifully 'Acted'
-----
Ayant été élevée en écoutant régulièrement le 33T du Petit Prince lu par Jean Dessailly et Suzanne Flon, monstres de théâtre et du cinéma des années passées, une fois mère et vivant aux US je suis partie en mission: trouver une version numérique qui soit aussi ensorcelante.
ENFIN j'ai trouvé et suis tombée sous la diction, la voix posée et animée à la fois de Bernard Giraudeau, acteur fort apprécié par le monde cinéma et théatre français..
Vite choisissez votre petit coin le plus comfortable et laissez vous être envouter par la cadence de ce texte magnifique.

Comparing Bernard Giraudeau and Félix Radu
The French publisher of Le petit prince, Gallimard, offers two recordings. Bernard Giraudeau, in France a well-known film actor who also recorded the French translations of the Harry Potter books, passed away in 2010. I believe that his performance was recorded in 2006.
In 2022, Gallimard released a new recording by Félix Radu, 27, an up-and-coming writer and actor working in his native Belgium and France. I like both performances, but they come across differently.
Giraudeau is somewhat more theatrical. He skips de Saint-Exupéry’s dedication to his friend Léon Werth, going straight to Chapter 1. Music is used to mark new chapters and to support events in the story. Giraudeau also adopts more markedly different voices for each character.
Radu’s reading puts de Saint-Exupéry’s words first. He starts with the dedication, which I think is important, framing the whole book. There’s no musical embellishment, just his voice. His delivery changes with the character, but more subtly. You can get a sense of his style from the many clips on YouTube of his work, and from his own YouTube channel.
Both recordings are of excellent quality. Radu and Giraudeau both speak clearly. For people who are interested in the backgrounds of the actors, Wikipedia has an entry for each. Radu also has a personal website.
