The Vibe

A pilot crashes in the Sahara and meets a small boy who fell to Earth from a tiny asteroid. The Little Prince tells him about his rose, his travels to strange planets, and the fox who taught him that what is essential is invisible to the eye. The most translated non-religious book in history.
