Regulus (Latin)

How unique and fun to see The Little Prince in Latin. My son is taking AP Latin and could hardly believe we found a modern book in Latin! He's already read part of it. Apparently, Regulus technically means Little King.

A most handsome volume -- clear print worthy of the elegant Latin; bright, colored pictures enhanced by the glossy pages. It sits well in the hand and delights the eye, while nourishing both mind and heart with its message and its style.

The story has long been one of my favourites and when I found it in Latin I was delighted. Reading this was a pleasant trip down memory lane and having it in Latin not only gave it a new feel but also enabled me to discover some new aspects of the story. The language is straight forward and easy to understand. A great way to practice your language skills if you are past the second year of Latin.If you are looking for something else with a similar level of difficulty you may like Historia Apollonii Regis Tyri (Latin Edition), if you are ready for something harder and more adventurous I can recommend Insula Thesauraria (Latin Edition) and Pericla Navarchi Magonis (Latin Edition).See my 'Latin Reading List' and 'Best Latin Books for Kids and Teens'.

Purchased as a gift. Arrived nicely packaged. The print is clean and crisp and I always find that an important advantage in any book.

Amazing. So cool and even arrived before they said! Perfect condition and an awesome read!

I am learning Latin. As I have read the La Petite Prince (in French) I thought I would be able to read Regulus. At present it is harder than I expected so I must keep on trying.I find iit interesting to know the Latin version of the foxes' secret: animo tantrum bene cernimus. Quad plurimi sunt, oculis cerni non possunt.My knowledge of Latin is very limited and I am not competent to review this book. All I can say is that the so far as I have read the translation is close to the original and the pictures are as good as I any I have seen elsewhere.I am already familiar with the story so what is interesting to me is the Latin structure. The chapters are short so the book lends itself well to my kind of study.I have a similar interest reading well known Biblical passages in the Vulgate.

I chose the maximum rating because it really met my expectations. I recommend the book for everyone who wants to learn Latin. It is an amazing book which story is well known by everybody,so it turns the learning easier.(I'm sorry for my bad english. Greetings from Brazil!)

This is a classic. The princes' pure heart appeals to reads in any language. With the background knowledge of the story (familiar to many people) the barrier many people face when trying to read something extensive in Latin can be overcome. Give it a try.

The media could not be loaded. NUMERO TOTALE DI PAGINE = 85Ho deciso di prendere questo libro per iniziare a leggere qualcosa di diverso dalle solite versioni. Ho scelto perciò “Il piccolo principe” (= “Regulus”) perché è un libro che adoro e piuttosto sottile.Quest’edizione in particolare consta di 85 pagine ed è arricchita dalle illustrazioni dell’autore che si trovano anche nelle altre edizioni.Il latino traspone le parole del testo originario, perciò lo consiglio a chi ha un livello di latino avanzato. Escluderei perciò gli alunni del biennio.

I have collection of the little prince book in other foreign languages and I’m so happy to find more.. thanks

Très beau livre. Bonne traduction. Dessins de l'auteur. Belle qualité du papier.Je recommande à ceux qui ont malgré tout un bon niveau de latin car le texte n'est pas simplifié et il n'y a pas de lexique.N'hésitez pas si vous avez des questions.Cet avis vous est-il utile ?

Lindo e apaixonante! Coleciono livros do Petit e esse já é um dos meus favoritos. Sempre compro na Amazon e adoro o site.

Magnifico libro, muy bien traducido, sirvió para mi aprendizaje de latín así como recordar el mensaje de optimismo que trasciende al tiempo
