Abstract
Little prince is living in a very tiny planet. One day, he leaves his place and meets some ‘grown-ups’ in other planets whom he think are ‘odd’. He meets the tippler, the king, the conceited man, the businessman, the lamplighter and the geographer. He talks to the fox, the snake and the rose. He realizes that all these people have an unpleasant life. All of them are waiting for something monotonously. The tippler can see nothing but the drink. The king is looking after a slave to command, the conceited man is looking after someone who will admire him. The businessman is overwhelmed by the numbers while he counts the stars. The ‘grown-ups’ perceive little prince according to their own expectations and passion. For the tippler, little prince is someone who prohibits his drinking, he is a slave for the king, an admirer for the conceited man and an unimportant person for the businessman. Little prince can not understand the ‘grown-ups’, can not live with them and leaves. He meets Exupery in the desert. This is the meeting of the child and adult Exupery. Little prince is the story of this meeting, is the productiveness of the child and adult Exupery and the collective product of this couple. Psychoanalytically, the story is a creation of a writer, who became an united whole with the child inside him, who allowed this child to live inside him and who could form a synthesis between his childhood and adult self
