SOPHIE'S WORLD


I am going to introduce you to a warm and cozy world. This will be the place where you will want to stay for good because here you will find lots and lots of answers to your questions about who you are or what other people thought about the world before us. You will be able to understand about your past, about the hidden meaning of religion or you will understand why the culture you are living in is a product of a long process called history. And who are the creators of history? No, no. You are wrong. It is not the politics who make history but indeed we are the ones who make the world go round. Sophie will lead you through her world. She is a teenager like you are. She is a naive and smart girl who feels curious about everything she is surrounded by. She takes delight in finding out the reasons and explanations of her past and existence. So, take her hand and let her guide you through a new horizon in front of you. Let's have a blast together!!

THE LITTLE PRINCE


Have you ever had the necessity of growing up quickly? I bet you have. But what does growing up mean? Does it mean having more things accessible to you? Does it really mean owning your house and your car? Or does it mean living on your own without parents telling you off? Anyway, now matter what you think about growing up. This little boy I want you to meet is a fragile and delicate creature who is going to show you how to face life with commitment and naivety. He loves the world as it is and he is unable to feel contempt. By the end of the book, you will have learnt that the essential facts in life are invisible to your eyes because it is in your heart where you will find the real answers to the fundamental questions. This is growing up. Now let’s have a look at these lines. They will serve as an example of what you might find in the book: “The stars will be the horizon you will look at while you are smiling. I will be looking at the stars as well and the sun will feed me. You will have five hundred million kisses and I will have five hundred million hugs and I will not cry anymore when I look at the horizon. And we will belong together and things will never fall apart again because we will be looking at the horizon. Thanks for having tamed me.”
