Das Gespenst von Canterville Oscar Wilde - Das Gespenst von Canterville nimmt seine Pflichten sehr ernst: Schlossbewohnern und Gästen muss zuweilen der Schlaf geraubt werden. Wozu trägt man sonst die schweren Ketten? Die Opfer müssen ja nicht gleich, wie einst Lady Stutfield, den Verstand verlieren. Als der amerikanische Gesandte Mr Otis das englische Anwesen kauft und mit Frau und Töchtern einzieht, ist der Schlossgeist not amused. Und es kommt noch schlimmer: Der unerschütterliche Materialismus und die Respektlosigkeit der Yankees stürzen ihn in eine veritable Sinnkrise. Was tun, wenn man mit ganzer Kraft und in bewährter Qualität spukt, aber nur Gelächter erntet? Oder, noch schlimmer, von zwei vorlauten Mädchen mit Kissen beworfen wird? Noch nie, kein einziges Mal in seiner dreihundert Jahre langen Karriere, hat man das Gespenst derart beleidigt
Acerca do autor
Author Oscar Wilde was known for his acclaimed works including 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' and 'The Importance of Being Earnest,' as well as his brilliant wit, flamboyant style and infamous imprisonment for homosexuality. Who Was Oscar Wilde? Author, playwright and poet Oscar Wilde was a popular literary figure in late Victorian England. After graduating from Oxford University, he lectured as a poet, art critic and a leading proponent of the principles of aestheticism. In 1891, he published The Picture of Dorian Gray, his only novel which was panned as immoral by Victorian critics, but is now considered one of his most notable works. As a dramatist, many of Wilde's plays were well received including his satirical comedies Lady Windermere's Fan (1892), A Woman of No Importance (1893), An Ideal Husband (1895) and The Importance of Being Earnest (1895), his most famous play. Unconventional in his writing and life, Wilde's affair with a young man led to his arrest on charges of "gross indecency" in 1895. He was imprisoned for two years and died in poverty three years after his release at the age of 46.
