Relation Concering Books Citadelle

J'ai pitié de celui-là seul qui se réveille dans la grande nuit patriarcale se croyant abrité sous les étoiles de Dieu, et qui sent tout à coup le voyage.
De l'homme, je ne demande pas quelle est la valeur de ses lois, mais bien quel est son pouvoir créateur
Si tu veux comprendre le mot de bonheur, il faut l'entendre comme récompense et non comme but.
L'amour est avant tout audience dans le silence.
Je n'ai pas d'espoir de sortir par moi de ma solitude. La pierre n'a point d'espoir d'être autre chose qu'une pierre. Mais de collaborer, elle s'assemble et devient temple.
Citadelle, je te bâtirai dans le cœur de l'homme.

Critique About Books Citadelle

Very rarely do I not finish a book, but after 106 of its 350 pages I'm putting this one down. I just can't deal with it.The beginning charmed me, because it was eloquent and because I disagreed with what it was saying. It was like Nietzsche, Plato, and Machiavelli decided to collaborate on a book: bizarre, but fascinating.Then it grew offensive. Really I have seldom seen such unapologetic fetishization of rape, such blatant disdain (disguised of course as compassion) for the Common Man (whatever

I couldn't help it and I re-read it! What a great book ! If you think, Exupery simply describes the human soul by analogy with the raising of a new city. A human being's soul has to be built/re-built (after a ''natural'' disaster) , it needs time to clean/clear the rests of the calamity and it needs discipline to put effectively every new piece in the right and appropriate place . There may be a lot of 'boring' nature's descriptions in that book, but as I like to imagine how it looked, it didn't

I admire Saint-Exupery, but this book gave me mixed feelings. It contains some nice wisdom, but on the other hand it has many downsides. The ideas could've been presented much shorter. The book is long and at points repeating, contradicting or confusing. I also found the language unnecessarily poetical many times. And many of the nuggets of wisdom, if I investigate them, are more like interesting observations than some sound advice about life, which seems to be the theme. There is value in it,

It is the perfect book for the modern man that doesnt have time to read but still wants to. You can read if you want 15 minutes every day. You can also open it at any page and read. It doesnt require a plot to remember, because it has no plot. It is not a novel. The original version is structured in 219 chapters that are from just a paragraph to a couple of pages long. The chapters are philosophical notes of the author about life and humanity. He envisions a city that he rules over and he speaks

MAGIC. Totally magic. Something really special for every reader. Absolutely recommended.

Too bad the author died before he could finish editing it. It was long and overly redundant (lol) even contradictory in places. He had some interesting ideas though

I have read a first ed. English translation of this. Published posthumously, it was meant by St. Ex. to be an overall capture of his philosophies. (Service, self-relance, gift of oneself to something larger). He may not have been able polish this as much as he regularly would one of his manuscripts. It is a tough, but worthwhile read that rewards perseverance with beautiful sparse images, suitable to the desert it takes place in.
