Beskrivning

Oscar Wilde’s selected works present a captivating exploration of beauty, morality, and the complexities of the human spirit. In "The Picture of Dorian Gray," Wilde intricately weaves a tale of a young man whose newfound vanity transcends the boundaries of ethics and consequence. Dorian Gray’s obsession with his own image leads him to a life of indulgence and excess, ultimately revealing the dark interplay between desire and degradation.

Alongside this iconic novel, the collection features enchanting stories like "The Canterville Ghost," which combines humor and supernatural elements, showcasing Wilde’s talent for satire and social commentary. In this quaint tale, an American family encounters a ghost that has been haunting their English estate, highlighting cultural clashes and the absurdities of life in a charming, whimsical manner.

Additionally, "The Happy Prince" offers poignant insights into compassion and sacrifice. Through the story of a gilded statue that sees the suffering of the poor, Wilde reminds readers of the importance of empathy and the beauty found in selflessness. Together, these works encapsulate Wilde's unique literary voice, rich characters, and thought-provoking themes.
