小王子

People always want something visible to help retain their memories. That’s why the word souvenir comes from the French word meaning ‘to remember’. Of course, photos help a great deal, keyholders, small ornaments too; but as a linguist, I’m particularly interested in things related to languages. Therefore, collecting books in local languages as I travel has always been one of my favourite activities. Not long ago, I decided to buy a copy of the Little Prince in the local language whenever I travel to a new place. My collection is still very small, but this is only a start.

If you are interested in taking a look at a really huge collection of the Little Prince, follow this link.

    I have this habit, too. In addition to yours (except Farsi), I have Hungarian, Dutch, Czech, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish. I failed to find Tamil and Malay versions in Singapore. Hopefully, I will get Danish and Swedish later.
