    Il fantasma di Canterville e altri racconti

    Quando la famiglia Otis si trasferisce a Canterville Chase, il precedente occupante Lord Canterville li avverte che il fantasma del suo antenato infesta ancora la casa. La loro incredulità viene presto infranta dal suono notturno di catene tintinnanti nei corridoi e dalla comparsa di misteriose macchie di sangue nel soggiorno. Tuttavia, il fantasma fatica a intimidire le sue nuove vittime, che rispondono al suo comportamento macabro con un pragmatismo tipicamente americano, offrendo lubrificante per le catene e pulendo le macchie con il detersivo. Mentre lo spirito viene abbandonato per la sua capacità di spaventare, Virginia, la figlia degli Otis, fa la sua conoscenza e scopre la tragica storia che si cela dietro il suo triste destino. Questo racconto classico, con l'arguzia che lo contraddistingue, è una delle storie più belle di Oscar Wilde ed è presentato qui insieme ad altri tre racconti: Il delitto di Lord Arthur Savile, Ritratto del giovane W.H. e La ballata del carcere di Reading.

  12. Oscar Wilde: Gesammelte Erzählungen
    1. Oscar , Wilde

    Oscar Wilde: Gesammelte Erzählungen

    Diese Sammlung vereint Oscar Wildes Erzählkunst in ihrer ganzen Spannweite: kunstvolle Märchen, elegante Gesellschaftssatiren und ironisch gebrochene Schauergeschichten. Texte wie "Das Gespenst von Canterville", "Der glückliche Prinz" oder "Lord Arthur Saviles Verbrechen" verbinden funkelnden Witz mit moralischer Ernsthaftigkeit. Wildes Prosa steht im Kontext des Ästhetizismus des späten 19. Jahrhunderts, überschreitet jedoch dessen bloßes Schönheitsideal durch scharfe Kritik an Standesdünkel, Besitzdenken und sentimentaler Heuchelei. Oscar Wilde, 1854 in Dublin geboren, war Dramatiker, Essayist, Erzähler und eine der brillantesten Figuren der viktorianischen Literatur. Seine klassische Bildung, seine Erfahrungen in der Londoner Gesellschaft und sein öffentlich vertretenes Ideal der Kunstautonomie prägten diese Geschichten deutlich. Zugleich spiegeln sie seine Sensibilität für Außenseiter, Masken, soziale Rollen und die oft grausame Spannung zwischen gesellschaftlicher Konvention und individueller Wahrheit. "Oscar Wilde: Gesammelte Erzählungen" empfiehlt sich Lesern, die literarische Eleganz mit intellektueller Schärfe verbinden möchten. Die Sammlung ist zugleich zugänglich und vielschichtig: Sie unterhält, rührt und provoziert. Wer Wilde nur als Verfasser geistreicher Bonmots kennt, entdeckt hier einen Erzähler von erstaunlicher ethischer Tiefe.
