The Canterville Ghost

USD $ 6,99

A haunted mansion. A frustrated ghost. A family that refuses to be scared. When the Otis family moves into Canterville Chase, they discover that the mansion is home to a ghost who has terrified generations. But to his dismay, the Otises not only ignore his attempts to frighten them—they mock him. Desperate, Sir Simon, the mansion's resident ghost, faces his worst nightmare: a fearless family. Only Virginia, the eldest daughter, seems to understand his suffering and may hold the key to his eternal rest. With humor and a touch of melancholy, The Canterville Ghost is a literary gem that blends the supernatural with satire.

Oscar Wilde

Autor

Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde (Dublín, Irlanda, entonces perteneciente al Reino Unido, 16 de octubre de 1854-París, Francia, 30 de noviembre de 1900) fue un escritor, poeta y dramaturgo de origen irlandés. 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 obras de teatro y la tragedia de su encarcelamiento, seguida de su temprana muerte. En la década de 1890 refinó sus ideas sobre la supremacía del arte en una serie de diálogos y ensayos, e incorporó temas de decadencia, duplicidad y belleza en su única novela, El retrato de Dorian Gray. La oportunidad para desarrollar con precisión detalles estéticos y combinarlos con temas sociales le indujo a escribir teatro.
