CHILDHOOD

Abstract

The parting point is childhood understood not as an evolutionary state, but as a state of imagination. To this end, The little prince, one of the most famous texts that "teaches the imagination" (defining it as a source, and even as a refuge, of the imaginary) is analyzed. The little prince would, from this perspective, constitute a landmark text on the relationship that could be established between reading, imagination and childhood.

Keywords:
childhood; Saint-Exupéry; imagination.
