Happy Prince and Other Tales (version 4 dramatic reading) |
---|
![]()
I recently read a collection of short stories by Oscar Wilde, which included "The Happy Prince" and several other tales. I was struck by the beautiful language and vivid imagery that Wilde used to tell these poignant and thought-provoking stories.
Each tale in the collection had its own unique message and moral lesson, but they all shared a common theme of sacrifice, compassion, and the true nature of happiness. "The Happy Prince" in particular touched my heart with its story of a selfless prince who gives all he has to help the less fortunate in his city.
Wilde's writing is both poetic and meaningful, and it is clear that he had a deep understanding of human nature and the complexities of the human experience. I found myself reflecting on the stories long after I had finished reading them, and I believe that they will continue to resonate with me for a long time to come.
Overall, I highly recommend this collection of tales to anyone who enjoys literature that is both beautiful and thought-provoking. Wilde's timeless stories are a true testament to the power of storytelling and the enduring impact that it can have on readers. Book Description: |

Reviewer: sam - December 28, 2020 Subject: The Selfish Giant I'm not a native speaker, but I listen to them to learn English. I gave it a high rating because each character's voice was easy to understand. I have read Oscar Wilde in my native language as well, and all the stories are wonderful. |

Reviewer: The happy prince and other tales - January 21, 2014 Subject: Children books This book is really brilliant. I love Wilde so much, I reading his book when I was 4. Now, 13 years past,,,I can speak and read a little English now. But ,,,我还是说中文吧, 王尔德本身就没写多少文章, 所以他的每一篇文章我都读过,真的很棒 透着一种英国式的悲伤。有声书的那个志愿者的声音很soft,我想他一定很温柔。他的声音很配得上这篇文章。 |
