The Pearl

A small, shimmering pearl changes everything for Kino, a humble pearl diver, and his family, offering hope and peril in equal measure. I was truly gripped by Steinbeck’s poignant storytelling and vivid imagery. This novella’s blend of lyricism and stark realism makes you reflect on the thin line between fortune and misfortune. Unexpectedly profound, “The Pearl” delicately unravels the human condition and the complexities of ambition and despair.

The Little Prince

“The Little Prince” by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry is a timeless tale that has touched hearts across generations. Through the eyes of a stranded aviator, we meet a young, golden-haired prince from a distant asteroid. His journey across planets, meeting whimsical characters, is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the essence of human connections. I remember reading it as a child, and its simple yet profound messages still resonate deeply with me today.
