El primer libro ilustrado del artista español que hay detrás de las portadas icónicas de la arrolladora saga Blackwater.
Venerado por generaciones de lectores —pequeños y grandes— en todo el mundo, El principito es un clásico inagotable que logra conmovernos en cada lectura.
La historia de Saint-Exupéry narra el encuentro, en la soledad del desierto del Sáhara, entre un aviador que ha sufrido una avería y un niño que se acerca a él para pedirle el dibujo de un cordero. Este hombrecito de cabellos dorados, que ha viajado por varios planetas antes de recalar en la Tierra, es muy sabio en su inocencia. Su capacidad para el asombro y su arrojo en las preguntas constituyen el origen de las poderosas reflexiones sobre la vida que atesoran estas páginas.
Puede que el piloto que nos cuenta la historia no consiguiera desarrollar su talento artístico, pero sin duda sí lo ha hecho Pedro Oyarbide, queha reinterpretado con inigualable maestría uno de los libros más entrañables de la literatura universal. Sus ilustraciones, vibrantes y detalladas, nos ofrecen la extraordinaria oportunidad de asomarnos a El principito como si fuera la primera vez.
