Story
"Le premier soir, je me suis donc endormi sur le sable à mille milles de toute terre habitée. J'étais bien plus isolé qu'un naufragé sur un radeau au milieu de l'océan. Alors, vous imaginez ma surprise, au lever du jour, quand une drôle de petite voix m'a réveillé. Elle disait : "S'il vous plaît... dessine-moi un mouton !" J'ai bien regardé. Et j'ai vu ce petit bonhomme tout à fait extraordinaire qui me considérait gravement..."

With Paul Noble’s simple, relaxed approach you will learn in a way that suits you – without having to memorise long lists of words you won’t use; scribbling notes as you listen; or feeling frustrated. Instead, Paul will introduce you to the basics of the French language and guide you through over 12 hours of everyday scenarios – from simple situations like asking for directions and eating out to talking about yourself and how to master the different tenses – that are practical, fun, and applicable. Just listen, interact, and learn wherever you are.

Story
Tout le monde peut avoir des ennuis. Quand il s'agit du Petit Nicolas et de ses copains : Alceste, Eudes, Maixent, Agnan, Clotaire, Geoffroy et Rufus, les ennuis peuvent devenir des catastrophes ! Surtout quand le directeur de l'école ou le Bouillon s'en mêlent ! Mais avec le Petit Nicolas, les choses finissent toujours par s'arranger... même si rien ne se passe vraiment de façon très logique !

À la maison Gryffondor, il rencontre Ron et Hermione, s'initie au Quidditch, un sport pratiqué sur un balai. La vie est excitante, mais Voldemort, Celui-Dont-On-Ne-Doit-Pas-Prononcer-Le-Nom, refait surface.

Story
"18 juillet. Hier à midi, sur la plage de Tipaza, un employé de bureau dénommé Meursault, demeurant rue Bab-Azoun à Alger, a tué de cinq balles de revolver un Arabe non encore identifié. Les motifs du crime restent inconnus. Arrêté, Meursault a été transféré à la prison d'Alger." Jugé, reconnu coupable de meurtre avec préméditation, condamné à mort et exécuté, on ne saura jamais pourquoi Meursault a tué. Il assiste à son procès comme si c'était un autre qu'on jugeait. Une profonde réflexion sur l'être et la vie.

The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustache you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers, and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them. Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

Eve looks like an ordinary 12-year-old girl, but there’s nothing ordinary about her. She has no last name. No parents or guardian. She’s on the run from a dangerous and secretive organization that will stop at nothing to track her down. And most astonishing of all: she’s a robot, a product of Eden Laboratories. When Eve discovers the truth, she realizes everything she thought she knew about herself is a lie. Eve manages to escape, fleeing the lab, the only home she’s ever known.

Comparing Félix Radu & Bernard Giraudeau
The French publisher of Le petit prince, Gallimard, could have hired a high-profile actor for its new, 2022 recording, but instead engaged an actor who's up-and-coming. Félix Radu, 27, is a writer and actor working in his native Belgium and France. You can get a sense of his style from the many clips on YouTube of his work, and from his own YouTube channel.
Gallimard continues to offer the late Bernard Giraudeau’s recording. He passed away in 2010, and I believe that the recording was made in 2006. I like both performances, but they come across differently.
Giraudeau is somewhat more theatrical. He skips de Saint-Exupéry’s dedication to his friend Léon Werth, going straight to Chapter 1. Music is used to mark new chapters and to support events in the story. Giraudeau also adopts more markedly different voices for each character.
Radu’s reading puts de Saint-Exupéry’s words first. He starts with the dedication, which I think is important, framing the whole book. There’s no musical embellishment, just his voice. His delivery changes with the character, but more subtly.
Both recordings are of excellent quality. Radu and Giraudeau speak clearly. For people who are interested in the backgrounds of the actors, Wikipedia has an entry for each. Radu also has a personal website.
