Beschreibung
A new complete edition of the famous Wilde's fairy tales from his two collections The Happy Prince and Other Tales and The House of Pomegranates, featuring congenial illustrations by the acclaimed painter Xénia Lavrová. Since its inception (1888–1891) nearly one hundred and fifty years ago, it has captivated readers with its refined poetic language, immensely impressive imagery, and moral message. Their enchanting power lies not only in their aesthetic quality, in their pure beauty, which Oscar Wilde, this 'decadent aesthete,' so highly praised, but also in the symbolic and allegorical significance of the parables that he embedded in his often satirically resonant fairy tales.
