[Spanish] - El Principito

"Fábula mítica y relato filosófico que interroga acerca de la relación del ser humano con su prójimo y con el mundo, El Principito concentra, con maravillosa simplicidad, la constante reflexión de Saint-Exupéry sobre la amistad, el amor, la responsabilidad y el sentido de la vida. Viví así, solo, sin nadie con quien hablar verdaderamente, hasta que tuve una avería en el desierto del Sahara, hace seis años. Algo se había roto en mi motor. Y como no tenía conmigo ni mecánico ni pasajeros, me dispuse a realizar, solo, una reparación difícil. Era, para mí, cuestión de vida o muerte. Tenía agua apenas para ocho días. La primera noche dormí sobre la arena a mil millas de todatierra habitada. Estaba más aislado que un náufrago sobre una balsa en medio del océano. Imaginaos, pues, mi sorpresa cuando, al romper el día, me despertó una extraña vocecita que decía: -Por favor..., ¡dibújame un cordero! -¿Eh!? -Dibújame un cordero... Todo lo que convierte nuestra edición de salamandra en la auténtica y oficial: ' Edición oficial aprobada por la fundación Antoine de Saint-Exupéry ' Con las acuarelas originales del autor ' Nota interior sobre la fundación, la historia de salamandra y El Principito"

[Catalan] - El Petit Príncep (audiollibre oficial)

"Faula mítica i una narració filosófica que es pregunta sobre la relació entre l'ésser humà i el seu proïsme i el món que l'envolta, El petit príncep concentra, amb una senzillesa que meravella, la reflexió llarga i constant de Saint-Exupéry sobre l'amistat, l'amor, la responsabilitat i el sentit de la vida. O sigui que he viscut sol, sense ningú amb qui de veritat poder parlar, fins que vaig tenir una avaria al desert del Sahara, fa sis anys. S'havia trencat alguna cosa del motor. I com que no anava amb cap mecànic ni amb cap passatger, em vaig preparar per mirar de fer, tot sol, una reparació difícil. Per mi era una qüestió de vida o mort. Amb prou feines tenia aigua per beure per a vuit dies. La primera nit, doncs, em vaig adormir a la sorra a mil milles de cap terra habitada. Estava molt més aïllat que un nàufrag en un rai al mig de l'oceà. O sigui que imagineu-vos la sorpresa que vaig tenir, a trenc d'alba, quan una veueta molt especial em va despertar. Deia: -Si us plau... dibuixa'm un be! -¿Eh!? -Dibuixa'm un be..."

An Edward Lear Collection

"An Edward Lear Collection Narrated by Denis Daly, Sarah Bacaller and Lucy Bacaller Have you been lately to Lake Pipple Popple? Perhaps you have spotted the Pobble who has no toes? Or maybe you have roosted in the Quangle Wangle's hat? Certainly Mr. Edward Lear has (he's written all about it). And now, you can listen to his tales read aloud, full of rhyme, rhythm and words that you won't find in the dictionary! Edward Lear (1812 - 1888) was a creative and skilled Englishman who composed music, wrote poetry, and was a talented illustrator. He was earning an income from drawing by the age of 16 years. Lear is remembered today primarily for his nonsense poems, stories and songs, and for popularising the poetic form of the limerick. He spent the last decade of his life in San Remo, Italy. The opening poem, How Pleasant To Know Mr Lear, was later used by T. S. Eliot as the basis of a mocking self portrait, 'How unpleasant to meet Mr. Eliot!' 1 - How Pleasant To Know Mr Lear 2 - The History of the Seven Families of the Lake Pipple-Popple 3 - The Two Old Bachelors 4 - The Pelican Chorus 5 - The Pobble who has no Toes 6 - Mr and Mrs Discobbolus 7 - The Quangle Wangle's Hat 8 - The Akond of Swat Production copyright 2021 Voices of Today"
