Il principe felice - La casa dei melograni

by Oscar Wilde, Maria Teresa Molinari (Translator)

Overview

Fu in questa raccolta di fiabe e racconti che Wilde seppe estrinsecare appieno la sua filosofia di vita, l'anelito verso la bellezza, unica realtà che primeggia su tutte le cose. Le fiabe di Wilde non sempre contengono una morale, molto spesso non sono che semplice invenzione. Sembrano novelle in prosa, ma sono in realtà poemi ricchi di un lirismo in cui la magia creativa dell'artista trasmette visioni di una grazia e di una bellezza straordinarie.

About the Author

The ever-quotable Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) was an Irish playwright, novelist, essayist, and poet who delighted Victorian England with his legendary wit. He found critical and popular success with his scintillating plays, chiefly The Importance of Being Earnest, while his only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, scandalized readers. Imprisoned for two years for homosexual behavior, Wilde moved to France after his release, where he died destitute.
