Il fantasma di Canterville e Il Delitto di Lord Savile |
---|
![]() I recently read a collection of two short stories by Oscar Wilde - Il fantasma di Canterville e Il Delitto di Lord Savile. Both stories are engaging and filled with Wilde's signature wit and humor. In "Il fantasma di Canterville," Wilde takes a humorous approach to the haunted house trope, exploring themes of forgiveness, redemption, and the power of love. The characters are well-developed and the dialogue is sharp and entertaining. The story's resolution is satisfying and unexpected, leaving a lasting impression on the reader. "Il Delitto di Lord Savile" takes a darker turn, delving into the consequences of a fateful palm reading that predicts a murder. Wilde skillfully weaves a tale of mystery and suspense, with twists and turns that keep the reader guessing until the end. The story's exploration of fate, morality, and the lengths people will go to avoid their destiny is thought-provoking and haunting. Overall, Il fantasma di Canterville e Il Delitto di Lord Savile is a captivating collection of stories that showcases Wilde's talent for storytelling and his keen insight into human nature. I highly recommend this book to fans of classic literature and those who enjoy clever and thought-provoking tales. Book Description: |
