«¡Frente a él había un horrible espectro, inmóvil como una estatua!» Cuentos de hadas, historias de fantasmas, ficción detectivesca, comedias de costumbres: los relatos reunidos en este volumen dieron a conocer a Oscar Wilde como narrador y mostraron su destreza en una amplia gama de estilos, plasmados en textos inolvidables como «El fantasma de Canterville», «El Príncipe Feliz», «El ruiseñor y la rosa» o «El gigante egoísta». Estas pequeñas obras maestras transmiten la brillante visión artística del autor, al tiempo que exploran diversas cuestiones morales de su época mediante una grata combinación de ingenio y sentimiento. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The complete short stories of the masterful Irish writer."In front of him there was a hideous specter, as motionless as a statue!!" Fairy tales, ghost stories, detective fiction and comedies of manners--the stories collected in this volume made Oscar Wilde's name as a writer of fiction, showing breathtaking dexterity in a wide range of literary styles. Victorian moral justice is comically inverted in "Lord Arthur Savile's Crime" and "The Canterville Ghost," and society's materialism comes under sharp, humorous criticism in "The Model Millionaire," while "The Happy Prince" and "The Nightingale and the Rose" are hauntingly melancholic in their magical evocations of selfless love. These small masterpieces convey the brilliance of Wilde's vision, exploring complex moral issues through an elegant juxtaposition of wit and sentiment.
