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.

Publisher's summary

"Le premier soir, je me suis donc endormi sur le sable à mille milles de toute terre habitée. J'étais bien plus isolé qu'un naufragé sur un radeau au milieu de l'océan. Alors, vous imaginez ma surprise, au lever du jour, quand une drôle de petite voix m'a réveillé. Elle disait : "S'il vous plaît... dessine-moi un mouton !" J'ai bien regardé. Et j'ai vu ce petit bonhomme tout à fait extraordinaire qui me considérait gravement..."

Perfect pace and mood

Learning French? Brushing up your French? Bernard giraudeau is a wonderful reader, both pronunciation and mellow voice quality, a sort of settle down and enjoy voice.

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.

My favorite book

Le petit prince est mon livre préféré, ecrit comme un livre pour enfants mais destiné aux adultes en réalité. La narration de cet audiobook est absolument magnifique. Merci pour ce moment.

superb book, great performance

The reading of Exupéry's masterpiece was marvellous. The music between sections was, at times, distracting.

A magical journey

I used to fall asleep to a cassette of Le Petit Prince, night after night, in my childhood. it's a magical tale that grows wonderfully. I only wish the voices were a tiny bit more different, as I still can remember the vivid expression of each of them, but that is, afterall, a very personal experience.
