Exupery the little prince as a philosophical fairy tale parable. Research work on literature "The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupery as a philosophical tale"

No wonder they say that everything ingenious is simple. This phrase well characterizes the work of Antoine de Saint-Exupery, known to everyone since childhood. There is hardly a person today who has not heard anything about the "Little Prince". This simple, outwardly uncomplicated text, torn apart into quotations a long time ago, has firmly entered the mass culture of society. Why? Most likely because of its simplicity and accessibility to everyone. But for all its simplicity and well-deserved popularity, the language does not dare to call this book "pop" because of the vulgar and obscene meaning in which it is customary to use this word today. Behind every phrase of The Little Prince, behind the statement of simple truths, lies an incredible philosophical depth. Those who are well acquainted with the work of Exupery will not argue with the fact that this French pilot was a deep philosopher, sage and fighter for the highest values. This he demonstrates in The Citadel and in his other works. However, most of Exupery is known as the author of The Little Prince, and it is precisely in this fairy tale-parable that the quintessence of all his work is.

"All adults were once children"

This phrase of the author expresses a whole philosophy that permeates the work. The theme of the opposition of "Adulthood" and "Childhood" is one of the main themes. And this, of course, is not about biological age. Behind this opposition lies several antitheses with deep philosophical content, "Formality" and "Creativity", "Closedness" and "Openness", "Durable" and "Eternal". The Little Prince is the image of the eternal child that lives in every person and who less and less manifests itself when we grow up, not in biological, but rather in moral terms. The “adult” is not interested in eternal questions, he cares about how much money he has earned, how many stars are in the sky, and he needs to deal with the ill-fated nut in order to fix the plane, because otherwise, when the water runs out, death is inevitable. But then the little prince appears, who looks at everything with childish spontaneity and he does not understand the importance of the nut at all, something else is important for him. And if you think about it, miracles happen. "I must be getting old," thinks the narrator as he tries to fix the plane. Adults are very fond of numbers - numbers are concrete, superficial, symbolic, not allowing to penetrate inside, "adults" live this question "how much" and do not think about the question "Why" at all. “Why do we need power if there are no subjects”, “Why do we need to drink?”, “Why do we need to draw cards or”. Of all the “adults”, only the lamplighter, who liked the little prince more than others, asks the question why, and he understands that it is necessary to turn the lamp on and off only because it happened. In childhood, we comprehend eternal values - love, friendship, responsibility. For adults, these are just words, concepts; they do not have that deep meaning that a child puts in.

Historical context

Reading the fairy tale "The Little Prince", few people would think that it was written in 1943, in the midst of the catastrophe - World War II. In the homeland of the writer, as he himself will say in the dedication, "cold and hungry." No wonder he dedicates the book to his friend when he was a child, sending him a piece of baby warmth and spontaneity, because he so needs consolation. With his simple, kind fairy tale, the author seems to want to show what adulthood, misunderstanding, formalism and inattention to the most precious, to what is inside us, has brought to. People are killing each other.

It is important that the writer himself, at the moment when he creates this work, lives in America. Exupery did not like the United States and honestly admitted this many times. And he did not like this country just for its abnormal hypertrophied "adulthood", in the philosophical language of Exupery. America is a country of business, money, a country of numbers and maps, something that is so incomprehensible to the little prince, all this is superficial, not real. Even then, in the 1940s, this spirit of "businesslike" in the bad sense of the word was felt in America, because even before that, the English classic Dickens said that America's mission is to vulgarize the universe. Probably in the "adulthood" of Exupery there is a lot of "Americanness".

"He only gave sensible orders" The King's Planet is one of the book's most interesting moments. Here, in the image of the king, the duality of all the inhabitants of the planets is most clearly shown - adult characters in whom there is something in order to regain this childishness in themselves, in order to learn again to feel and understand enduring values. For some reason they don't notice it. On the one hand, the king from the book of Exupery is a philosophizing ruler, which history really lacked, he does not contradict the course of events, but only tries to legitimize it. After all, why command something that will not be fulfilled anyway? Among literary scholars discussing Exupery's book, there was even a comparison of the king with Kutuzov, who won the war with his wisdom and caution, observing the course of events and skillfully using them. But the king has another side - power for the sake of power itself. The king is a power lover and he doesn’t care if he has subjects, for him the most important thing is only that he can rule, and who and why to rule is not important. But this is the scourge of many rulers. In the ratio of the two sides - on the one hand, power for its own sake, and not for the sake of who you rule, and on the other hand, the awareness of the need for this power and concern for your subjects. In this topic, which can be conditionally called the "philosophy of power" of Exupery, the historical context again appears, the pain of totalitarian regimes is felt. After all, what is a totalitarian regime - this is power for the sake of power, this is a system in which people are cogs, and in which the rulers care little whether these people are able to fulfill his aspirations, subjects are a resource, not a tool, and even more so there can be no question about “an order useful for a subject” (and the king from a fairy tale appoints the little prince as an ambassador, realizing that it is important for him to continue the journey). The topic of authoritarian regimes also could not but excite Exupery, in 1936, the year when the Civil War, which brought Franco to power, he wrote the lines of his great fairy tale during the years of the world war unleashed by the German Nazi regime.

In the king's phrase "If I order my subject to fly like a swallow, and he does not do it, who will be to blame?" a whole deep political philosophy. And it is remarkable in this topic that it shows the duality of the phenomenon of power in the image of the king and makes the reader think about its essence, expediency and purpose.

Existentialism in reverse

There are a lot of existential moments in the fairy tale, the whole fairy tale is a philosophy of being, it is about eternal values, about why a person exists on this earth. After all, it is not by chance that the little prince appears precisely when “adulthood” begins to win over childishness. Unlike his countrymen, J.P. Sartre and A. Camus, who did not recognize either friendship or love, and thought about the aimlessness of existence, Exupery, on the contrary, is trying to revive these values, is trying to return the cult of sincerity, friendship and love, showing what exactly in they hide the true meaning of existence. This is a kind of existentialism on the contrary, this is a philosophy that gives consolation in the very world in which there is nothing to believe in, this is a story that returns the lost meaning of life.

Gospel of Exupery

If the work “One Hundred Years of Solitude” is called the bible from Garcia Marquez, then “The Little Prince” is definitely the Gospel of Exupery, in the fairy tale you can see many Christian motives, the theme of saving the soul is clearly visible in the appearance of the little prince and his conversation with the pilot. The little prince appears as a messiah, as a savior who came to earth to return what she had lost, to give her comfort, and if possible, to restore her faith. The little prince dies at the end of the book - he dies a human "adult" death from a snake bite. But is the little prince dead? Most likely, he just returned to his world, to his planet, where he will look after the rose and admire the sunset. The narrator believes that the little prince did not die, he just flew away, but he will definitely return, there must be a second coming. And perhaps he really returns, returns in each of us. Although, from the moment Exupery wrote this fairy tale and after he remained in the sky, once not returning from a flight, the world has become even more cruel, “adulthood” is increasingly taking over in us, and extraneous values are of great importance, replacing in something eternal in our hearts, we are no longer able to love just like that.

To love just like that

At the end of my reflections on the book of Exupery, I would like to recall a couple more quotes that have become simple truths for everyone since childhood. “We are responsible for those whom we have tamed” - the word to tame, Exupery does not have the scientific meaning of “domesticate” or “appropriate”, to tame means to understand, to know, to feel, to make part of oneself. This is just about love just like that, about friendship for the sake of friendship itself, about spiritual intimacy, which is so lacking. The phrase says the same thing: “Only the heart is vigilant, you can’t see the most important thing with your eyes,” it sounds from the lips of the Fox, a character that symbolizes friendship, real and sincere, friendship just like that. Exupery urges us to live with our hearts, to learn to feel and let this little prince into ourselves, this beautiful present that is definitely in everyone’s soul, you just need to see it, but not with your eyes, but with your heart.

Of course, in this short article, I have not touched on everything, but only some, the most important for me, points in the philosophy of A. Exupery. Finally, I will make one more remark. Everything that was written above is just my understanding of Exupery's book. Perhaps you will see something different when you read it. And this is the most beautiful thing in literature, I think that the formula "By this the author wanted to say this and that ..." is the most main mistake literary criticism. What is important is not what the author wanted to say, but what. And it’s great if everyone opens their own meanings in the book, and does not retell the reader, because you won’t see the most important thing with your eyes. I think Exupery would have liked such an understanding of literature, because the little prince lives in each of us and he is his own for everyone.

In the Sahara desert, and at the same time in the desert modern world, among "serious business people", the Little Prince is infinitely lonely. People are divided and lonely even when they are together due to the inability to understand, love another and create bonds of friendship. Let us recall the words of the Serpent: “Among people, it is also lonely.” The conflict between the protagonist and the inhabitants of the planets - "strange adults" is unresolvable. Adults will never understand a child prince. They are alien to each other. The townsfolk are blind and deaf to the call of the heart, the impulse of the soul. Their tragedy is that they do not strive to become a Personality. "Serious people" live in their own, artificially created little world, fenced off from the rest. Everyone has their own planet. They consider the created worlds to be the true meaning of being! These faceless masks will never know what true love, friendship and beauty are.

From this topic follows the basic principle of romanticism - the principle of duality. These two worlds will never come into contact: the world of the layman, who does not have access to the spiritual principle, and the world of the artist, who has moral qualities. It is for this reason that we have a romantic fairy tale.

The need for deep generalizations prompted Saint-Exupery to turn to the parable genre. The absence of concrete historical content, the conventionality characteristic of this genre, its didactic conditionality allowed the writer to express his views on the moral problems of the time that worried him. The parable genre made it possible to embody Saint-Exupery's reflections on the essence of human existence.

To implement the ideas of the parable, a very peculiar composition is used. The parabola is the main component of the structure of the traditional parable. The Little Prince is no exception. It looks like this: the action takes place in a specific time and a specific situation. The plot develops as follows: there is a movement along the curve, which, having reached the highest point of incandescence, again returns to the starting point. The peculiarity of such plot construction is that, having returned to the starting point, the plot acquires a new philosophical and ethical meaning. A new point of view on the problem, finds a solution. So, the beginning and end of the story are connected with the arrival of the hero on Earth and his parting with the Earth, the pilot, the Fox.

The little prince returns to his planet again, to his Rose. Then already, that the adult and the child were together, they discovered a lot of new things both in life and in each other, and they part already different - renewed and wiser.

Despite the fact that the Little Prince is a child, a true vision of the world opens up to him, which is inaccessible even to an adult. Yes, and people with dead souls, whom he meets on his way main character much scarier than fairy-tale monsters.

But the main tragedy of the “adult” heroes of Saint-Exupery is not so much that they are subordinate to the material world, but that they “lost” all their spiritual qualities and began to exist senselessly, and not live in the full sense of the word.

"…When I was 6 years old. I discovered at one time an amazing picture ... ”or:“ ... It has been 6 years since my friend left me with a lamb ”This is the language of legend, legend, parable. Stylistic manner - the transition from an image to a generalization, from a parable to morality - characteristic writing talent of Saint-Exupery.

The figurative system of the work

The fairy tale "The Little Prince" is a gallery of images that arise in the brain of a mature person, reflecting on the life he has lived. It begins with a return to the world of childhood.

The contradictions, the struggle of man and the surrounding society are resolved here by other means than in previous works. Hence the feeling of something new, unusual for the writer's work, although, strictly speaking, almost all the main images of The Little Prince are already contained in the third chapter of the Southern Post Office, where Bernie's childhood is mentioned.

Written in the tradition of a romantic philosophical fairy tale, the images are deeply symbolic. The images are precisely symbolic, since one can only guess what the author wanted to say, and interpret each image depending on personal perception. The main symbols are the Little Prince, the Fox, the Rose and the desert. Exupery has key, favorite images-symbols.

The little prince is a man who was from a very small planet. Some researchers compare the Little Prince with Zadig, the hero of a philosophical tale by the great French writer Voltaire, who went in search of happiness. However, they say, Saint-Exupery is not interested in the secrets of various philosophical systems, but in the types of people who embody various vices.

The kid is active and hardworking. Every morning he watered the Rose, talked to her, cleared the three volcanoes on his planet so that they gave more heat, pulled out the weeds ... And yet he felt very lonely. In search of friends, in the hope of finding true love, he sets off on his journey through other worlds. He is looking for people in the endless desert surrounding him, because in communication with them he hopes to understand himself and the world around him, to gain experience, which he lacked so much.

The little prince is a symbol of a person - a wanderer in the universe, looking for the hidden meaning of things and his own life.

However, it is still difficult to give up the idea that the little prince is Saint-Ex himself. Whether the author wanted it or not, but best of all, he, as it were, embodied and characterized himself.

The image of the desert develops in all the books of the writer. Exupery himself is irresistibly attracted by the desert - "I love the desert." In the desert, the pilot meets the Little Prince. The desert seemed to the writer a special world, like the sky. He goes to the desert like a pilot on his flight. There are no "bookkeepers and shopkeepers", there are no laws governing their existence. A man in the desert is absolutely free, he is left to himself, immersed in himself. “Lines of force” dominate in the desert, forcing a person, as in flight, to live at the limit of his capabilities. The desert, like the sky, is a testing ground for the human spirit.

In the desert man learns the value of life. The desert reminds of "simple" truths, of the truth of water as a source of life - it reminds us that humanity lives near wells. In the desert, human brotherhood is known, the price of a man who gave water to drink to a man dying of thirst.

The desert is a symbol of spiritual thirst. It is beautiful, because springs are hidden in it, which only the heart helps a person to find.

The little prince asked the pilot: “... Do you know why the desert is good?” And he himself gave the answer: “Springs are hidden somewhere in it ...” The well in the desert, as another hypostasis of the image-symbol of water, is very significant for Saint-Exupery.

The symbol of life - water, quenches the thirst of people lost in the sands, the source of everything that exists on earth, the food and flesh of everyone, the substance that makes it possible to resurrect. In The Little Prince, Exupery will fill this symbol with a deep philosophical content. The fundamental principle of life is water, one of the eternal truths, an unshakable thing that has great wisdom. The dehydrated desert is a symbol of a world devastated by war, chaos, destruction, human callousness, envy and selfishness. This is a world in which a person dies of spiritual thirst.

In ancient chronicles, beliefs and legends, dragons guarded the water, but the desert of Saint-Exupery can guard it no worse than dragons, it can hide it so that no one will ever find it. Each person is the master of his own springs, the sources of his soul, but sometimes we ourselves cannot find them.

The author's sincere belief in the existence of hidden springs gives the finale of the fairy tale-parable a life-affirming sound. The story contains a powerful creative moment, a belief in improvement and change in the unfair order of things. The life aspirations of the heroes are in harmony with the moral universal principle. In their fusion, the meaning and general direction of the work.

The prototype of Rosa is also well known, it is, of course, the wife of Exupery Consuelo - an impulsive Latin American, whom her friends called the "little Salvadoran volcano."

The rose is a symbol of love, beauty, femininity. The little prince did not immediately see the true inner essence of beauty. But after talking with the Fox, the truth was revealed to him - beauty only becomes beautiful when it is filled with meaning, content. “You are beautiful, but empty,” the Little Prince said to earthly roses. “You don’t want to die for your sake. Of course, a random passerby, looking at my rose, will say that it is exactly the same as you. But for me she is dearer than all of you ... "

Outwardly beautiful, but empty inside, roses do not evoke any feelings in a contemplative child. They are dead to him. Rosa was capricious and touchy, and the baby was completely exhausted with her. But “on the other hand, she was so beautiful that it was breathtaking!”, And he forgave the flower for its whims.

Telling the story of the rose, the little hero admits that he did not understand anything then. “It was necessary to judge not by words, but by deeds. She gave me her fragrance, lit up my life. I shouldn't have run. Behind these miserable tricks and tricks one should have guessed tenderness. The flowers are so inconsistent! But I was too young and still did not know how to love!” This once again confirms the Fox's idea that words only interfere with understanding each other. The true essence can only be "seen" by the heart.

By the way, in the original, the author always writes "la fleur" - the Flower. But in French it is a feminine word. Therefore, in the Russian translation, Nora Gal replaced the Flower with a Rose (especially since in the picture it is really a rose). But, let's say, in the Ukrainian version, nothing would have to be replaced - "La Fleur" would easily become "Kvitka".

One of the most famous and most beloved works of the 20th century - "The Little Prince" - was written shortly before the death of the author. Exupery put his childhood memories, deeply personal experiences and love for the human into this not childishly adult fairy tale.

Everyone should be asked what he can give. Power must first of all be reasonable.

Lamps must be protected: a gust of wind can extinguish them.

In trying to embrace the world of today, we draw from the vocabulary of yesterday's world. And it seems to us that in the past life was more consonant with human nature - but this is only because it is more consonant with our language.

Longing is when you crave to see something, you don’t know what it is ... It exists, it is unknown and desirable, but it cannot be expressed in words.

When you let yourself be tamed, then it happens to cry.

Each person has their own stars.

There is a hard and fast rule. You got up in the morning, washed your face, put yourself in order - and immediately put your planet in order.

Only children know what they are looking for. They give their whole soul to a rag doll, and it becomes very, very dear to them, and if it is taken from them, the children cry.

The earth helps us to understand ourselves, as no books can help us. For the earth resists us.

Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.

When planting an oak, it is ridiculous to dream that you will soon find shelter in its shade.

Working only for the sake of material goods, we are building a prison for ourselves.

All our wealth is dust and ashes, they are powerless to deliver to us what is worth living for.

A person recognizes himself in the struggle with obstacles.

Salvation lies in taking the first step. One more step. With him, everything starts anew.

To be human means to feel that you are responsible for everything.

You can't make old friends overnight.

What is the use of political teachings that promise the flowering of man, if we do not know in advance what kind of person they will raise?

The kingdom of man is within us

A vocation helps to free a person within himself, but it is also necessary for a person to be able to give free rein to his vocation.

The truth of a man is what makes him a man.

It is possible to stupefy the Germans with arrogance from the fact that they are Germans and Beethoven's compatriots. So you can turn your head and the last chimney sweep. And it's much easier than awakening Beethoven in a chimney sweep.

With the death of each person, the unknown world dies.

To love is not to look at each other, to love is to look together in the same direction.

All of us - some vaguely, some more clearly - feel: we need to awaken to life. But how many false paths open up.

Those who lived for a long time with all-consuming love, and then lost it, sometimes get tired of their noble loneliness. And, humbly returning to life, finds happiness in the most ordinary affection.

The truth is not on the surface.

From the hour when the plane and mustard gas became weapons, the war became just a massacre.

Victory goes to the one who rots last. And both opponents are rotting alive.

In our world, all living things gravitate towards their own kind, even flowers, bowing in the wind, mix with other flowers, all swans are familiar to the swan - and only people become isolated in solitude.

What gives meaning to life gives meaning to death.

When we comprehend our role on earth, even the most modest and inconspicuous, then only we will be happy.

It may be beautiful to die in order to conquer new lands, but modern warfare destroys everything for which it is allegedly waged.

There are too many people in the world who have not been helped to wake up.

It is good when something new, more perfect is born in a dispute between different civilizations, but it is monstrous when they devour each other.

At the appointed hour, life disintegrates like a pod, yielding seeds.

The animal retains grace even in old age. Why is the noble clay from which man is fashioned so mutilated?

Painfully not the ugliness of this formless human clay. But in each of these people, perhaps, Mozart is killed.

Real woman and real man. Everything is simple.

We were NOT taught to be happy

Why should we hate each other? We are all one, carried away by the same planet, we are the crew of one ship.

From the molten lava, from the dough from which the stars are molded, from the miraculously born living cell, we - people - came out and rose higher and higher, step by step, and now we are writing cantatas and measuring the constellations. published

Reading the works of A. de Saint-Exupery, you more sharply feel the beauty of the world and the power of human attraction to brotherhood. The writer and pilot died three weeks before the liberation of his native France (1944) - he did not return to base from a combat mission, but his books continue to help us better understand ourselves and the world around us.

The philosophical tale "The Little Prince" was written by Exupery shortly before his death. The wisdom of her hints cannot always be conveyed by formulas and words. Halftones and shades of allegorical images are as delicate as they are refined

The little prince, the main character of the fairy tale, is shown to us on a journey, on the move, in search, although he understands that from time to time you need to stop and look back and around: if you walk straight ahead, where your eyes look, you will not go far. On different planets, he meets with their adult inhabitants, who, behind the figures of income, ambition, greed, have forgotten about their human calling.

On Earth, the Little Prince comes across a garden full of roses. In this difficult moment for the baby, when he feels the shock of the thought that the rose was deceiving him, talking about its uniqueness, the Fox appears. He speaks about the bottomlessness of the human heart, teaches the true understanding of love, which perishes in the hustle and bustle of life. Never talk sincerely, look inside yourself, think about the meaning of life. To have friends, you need to give them your whole soul, give the most precious thing - your time: "Your Rose is so dear to you because you gave her so much time." And the Prince understands: his Rose is the only one in the world, since he "tamed" her. Every feeling, including love, must be earned by continuous mental work. “Only the heart sees well. The main thing is not visible to the eyes. One must be able to be given in friendship and love, one cannot be passive towards evil, since everyone is responsible not only for their own destiny.

Absorbing the moral lessons of a small but so capacious work in its meaning, one can agree with the opinion of O. Prasolov, a Russian poet: “Saint-Exupery wrote about the Little Prince shortly before his end ... probably, human souls always give out their last swan-clean, farewell wail…”. This tale is a kind of testament wise man us that are left on this imperfect planet. And is it even a fairy tale? Recall the desert in which the pilot, who crashed, meets the Little Prince. In any extreme situation in front of a person, it happens that his whole life passes. I remember good things, but more often - where and when you showed cowardice and dishonesty. A person “suddenly” begins to see clearly and realizes something that he underestimated or did not pay attention to throughout his life, and therefore a prayer escapes from his lips in these moments of truth and insight: “Lord! Avert disaster, and I will become better, more noble and generous!”

So the little hero helped the pilot to take a sharper and more careful look at life, at his place in it, and evaluate it all in a new way. The narrator returns to his friends as a completely different person: he understood how to be friends, what to value and what to fear, i.e. he became wiser and less frivolous. The little prince taught him how to live. It was in the desert, far from the bustle that completely absorbs us and our souls, where the prophets and hermits learned great truths in solitude, the pilot, also in solitude, approached understanding the meaning of life. But the desert is also a symbol of human loneliness: "It's lonely with people too ...".

A magical, sad parable, “disguised as a fairy tale” (O. Panfilov)! Moral and philosophical problems are revealed in it with the help of refined aphorisms, which then accompany us in our lives, ruling for moral guidelines: “it is much harder to judge oneself than others. If you can judge yourself correctly, you are really wise”, “Puffed-up people are deaf to everything except praise”, “But the eyes do not see. You have to search with your heart."

This work forces us to look differently at the world around us and people. Each of the newborns imagines the same mysterious and mysterious baby as the one who came to planet Earth from his own tiny planet. These Little Princes came to know our world, to become smarter, more experienced, to learn to search and see with the heart. Each of them will have their own worries, each will be responsible for someone, for something and realizes his duty deeply - just as the Little Prince Antoine de Saint-Exupery felt his duty to a single and unique rose. And may they always be accompanied by victory over the terrible baobabs!
