The little prince

      Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s “The Little Prince” is the third most popular novel in the world, translated into over 250 languages over more than 600 translations. More than 80 million copies have been printed. Beginning this year, “The Little Prince” is in the public domain almost everywhere in Europe, but in France the novel will pass into public domain somewhere between 2033 and 2045, because works of authors who died for France during the First and Second World Wars benefit from additional copyright protection.      Interestingly, Canadians have been freely using “The Little Prince” for the last 20 years, as copyright expires there 50 years after the death of the creator.
