Tietoa tästä e-kirjasta
In "The Happy Prince and Other Tales," Oscar Wilde presents a collection of poignant fairy tales rich in symbolism and moral insight. Written in a lush, lyrical style, these stories blend elements of fantasy with stark social commentary, exploring themes of love, sacrifice, and the often-hidden cruelty of society. Wilde's exquisite prose is imbued with a trademark wit and irony, capturing the reader's imagination while prompting deep reflection on the nature of happiness and selflessness. The collection, published in 1888, can be understood within the context of the Aesthetic Movement, which encouraged art for art's sake, yet reveals Wilde's critical engagement with social injustices of his time. Oscar Wilde, a prominent figure of the late 19th-century literary scene, was renowned for his flamboyant personality and sharp epigrams. His own experiences with societal ideals and personal repression likely inspired these tales, which often illuminate the struggles of marginalized individuals seeking authenticity and connection within a materialistic world. Wilde's background in Irish literature and his later social critiques further enrich the narratives, combining beauty with a compelling social message. This collection is a must-read for those who appreciate stories that transcend mere fantasy, offering both beauty and a critical lens on society. Wilde's nuanced exploration of human emotions and ethical dilemmas invites readers of all ages to reflect on the true meaning of happiness and the sacrifices often required to attain it.
