La ballade de la geôle de Reading

Classics from some of world literature's most renowned authors are meticulously translated for young adult readers in this series of quality hardcovers. Each book includes vibrant illustrations and a full-color section about the author, the work, and the time period. "Clasicos de algunos de los autores mas destacados de la literatura mundial son cuidadosamente traducidos para adolescentes en esta serie de ediciones de calidad de tapa dura. Cada libro incluye ilustraciones vividas y una seccion a todo color sobre el autor, la obra y la epoca." The four stories in this collection provide a perfect showcase for Oscar Wilde's wit and keen sense of humor. From the tale of Lord Arthur Savile and his increasingly desperate and elaborate attempts to commit murder after being told by a clairvoyant that he must kill someone before he can marry to the story of the wealthy Otis family who refuses to believe in the indignant ghost haunting their castle in "The Canterville Ghost," these narratives weave humor and social satire into a complex tapestry of human nature. Also included are "The Sphinx without a Secret" and "A Model Millionaire." "Los cuatro cuentos en esta coleccion proveen un escaparate perfecto para el ingenio y el humor perspicaz de Oscar Wilde. Desde la historia del Lord Arthur Savile y sus intentos cada vez mas desesperados y elaborados de cometer un asesinato despues de que un quiromantico le dice que matara a alguien antes de casarse hasta el relato de la rica familia Otis que rehuse creer en el indignado fantasma que aparece en su castillo en "El fantasma de Canterville," estas narrativas entretejen el humor y el satiro y crean un tapiz complejo de la naturaleza humana. Tambien se incluyen "La esfinge sin secreto" y "El modelo millonario.""

Le crime de Lord Arthur Savile et autres contes

Oscar Wilde narra, en este afamado relato, la historia de una sofisticada familia norteamericana que compra el antiguo castillo inglés de los Canterville. El anterior propietario les advierte de que la casa está habitada por un fantasma, Lord Simon Canterville, quien mató a su esposa y cuyo cuerpo desapareció después misteriosamente. El fantasma, anacrónico, no logrará asustar a sus inquilinos, y acabará siendo juego y víctima de los más pequeños de la familia.

El fantasma de Canterville

When Lady Windermere begins to suspect her husband of infidelity, she confronts him, accusing him of having an affair with a woman known as Mrs. Erlynne. Lord Windermere denies her accusations, but the true identity of Mrs. Erlynne is even more shocking than Lady Windermere expects. Lady Windermere's Fan has become one of Oscar Wilde's most well-known plays, and is the origin of the famous literary quote, "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." It has been adapted several times for film, most recently for the 2009 film A Good Woman, starring Helen Hunt and Scarlett Johansson. HarperPerennial Classics brings great works of literature to life in digital format, upholding the highest standards in ebook production and celebrating reading in all its forms.
