A man lives in total solitude in an abandoned mountain village. But each
night, at the same hour, a mysterious distant light appears on the far
side of the valley and disturbs his isolation. What is it? Someone in
another deserted village? A forgotten street lamp? An alien being?
Finally the man is driven to discover its source. He finds a young boy
who also lives alone, in a house in the middle of the forest. But who
really is this child? The answer at the secret heart of this novel is
both uncanny and profoundly touching. Antonio Moresco's Little Prince is
a moving meditation on life and the universe we inhabit. Moresco
reflects on the solitude and pain of existence, but also on what we
share with all around us, living and dead.
