Editions of Le Petit Prince
in English, Chinese, Japanese, and Vietnamese used in this site

The following are publishing details of the versions of Le petit prince that I have used in this site. I do not have the original copies of the French version or Woods' English version. For these, I have primarily relied on versions included with the Chinese or Vietnamese translations. One Chinese version is from a website and I do not have bibliographical details other than the website link. I have taken one quotation from Dr Ralf Hammecke's site about Le Petit Prince in translation.

The table almost acts as a cross-section of the publishing industry in these countries.

The Mainland Chinese industry is in many ways new, brash, and aggressive. Publishers are found all around the country, in Beijing, Shanghai, and regional cities large and small. In the scramble to publish and make a killing, standards are not always very high. All that's needed is someone who can churn out a new translation, slightly modify an earlier translation and put it under another person's name, or 'retell' the original story, and presto, the publisher has its own version of a bestseller to hoist onto the market. Many recent translations have new illustrations that are completely different from the original, generally positioning the book as a children's story. As with foreign names in Chinese in general, Saint-Exupéry's name has not been fully standardised.

* Chinese versions were bought in bookshops in China (north and south). A good number were ordered through Dang Dang.

Taiwan is a little more staid. The industry is based in Taipei and Saint-Exupéry's drawings are encountered more often.

* Taiwanese versions were bought in bookshops in Macau and Hong Kong as well as from http://www.book4u.com.tw. One Hong Kong version was kindly supplied by KC Tang.

By contrast, the Japanese publishing industry is completely centred on Tokyo and many of the publishers are very old and well established. All translations are based on the French (following Naitō's example) and all but one use Saint-Exupéry's drawings.

A spate of new translations appeared in Japan in 2005-2006 after the copyright expired. One problem that presented itself was the title -- whether to follow Naitō's famous 1953 title, 星の王子さま Hoshi no Ōji-sama, literally The Prince from a Star, or to come up with something new. Eventually, seven followed the Naitō title; two used the Naitō title but called it 'newly translated' (新訳 shin'yaku); three used titles that literally meant The Little Prince in Japanese (one with a subtitle noting that it was a 'new translation' of The Prince from a Star); one tried to get the best of both worlds with a title literally meaning The Little Prince from a Star, and one used the French title transliterated into Japanese as プチ・プランス Puchi Puransu, also with a subtitle saying it was a new translation of The Prince from a Star.

* All Japanese versions were ordered from Kinokuniya BookWeb.

There are fewer translations of Le Petit Prince into Vietnamese. Publishers are mainly found in the two main cities of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh (Saigon), although several translations have appeared not in Vietnam but overseas (including the Bui Giang translation, which seems to have been published in France). The book's title has not been fully standardised, either.

* Vietnamese versions were bought in Vietnam or ordered from Xunhasaba (thanks to Dao Thanh Thuy!).

Originally there were only two translations of Le Petit Prince into Mongolian: one an (Outer) Mongolian translation by Ts. Sukhbaatar, which has appeared in several revisions, one using the traditional Mongolian alphabet. The earliest version appears to date back to 1972. My editions are from 2006 and 2012. The other is an Inner Mongolian translation by Ya. Temurjin, which appeared in 2006. The two different editions illustrate the fissure in the Mongolian-speaking world between the independent Mongolian state and Inner Mongolia under Chinese rule.

More versions have since appeared both in Mongolia and Inner Mongolia.

* Mongolian versions were picked up in bookshops in Ulaanbaatar and Hohhot respectively.

The Buryat version was published in 1979. While Buryat is a dialect of Mongolian, in Russia it was made into a separate standard language. A scan of the Mongolian Buryat version was kindly provided by Jean-Marc Probst of The Petit Prince Collection.
