Reseña del libro "The Happy Prince And Other Tales"
'The Happy Prince', one of Wilde's best-loved stories, tells of the attempts of a kind-hearted statue and an amorous swallow to rid their city of poverty, and of their heavenly reward. The book includes the tale of the unjust but repentant giant who discovers joy in loving others, the nightingale who is willing to die for love, and a pompous although very remarkable rocket, ready to display his talents and his ignorance. Full of splendid, joyous imagery the stories are infused with an underlying wisdom and morality. Beguilingly haunting and original, these are timeless tales that remain as popular today as when they were written over a hundred years ago.
Oscar Wilde es considerado uno de los dramaturgos más destacados del Londres victoriano tardío. Además, fue una celebridad de la época debido a su gran y aguzado ingenio. Hoy en día, es recordado por sus epigramas, sus cuentos, sus obras de teatro, su única novela, El retrato de Dorian Gray, y la tragedia de su encarcelamiento, seguida de su muerte prematura.
