Book Reviews of Evaluation of new nuclear density gauges on asphalt concrete
Book Review: Katherine Woods - The name to remember
Summary: 5 Stars
Katherine Woods' translation is the only English-language version of The Little Prince which captures the beauty, simplicity, clarity, and profundity of the Antoine de St. Exupery's classic, penned in French.
(The newer translation is appallingly horrid and bland, mistaken, and frankly perplexing.)
This is really not a children's book, although older children will appreciate it.
Don't measure the value by the thickness of the book. De St. Exupery, himself a WWI pilot, writes with a great economy yet produces here the most beautiful poetry with a delightful playfulness and childlike innocence -- a fresh vision which thus sees clearly and does not obscure the profound.
Mr. Fred Rogers used to quote from de St. Exupery, whose image and illustrations once graced the 20-franc note (in the days before the euro).
There simply is no other work like this one. It is an exceptionally rare treasure, a masterpiece.
Be sure to read Katherine Woods' translation. Read it privately, when you have time to savor each word. And keep a box of tissues nearby.
