Después de esto confirmo a Oscar Wilde como mi autor favorito. Ni siquiera tengo palabras para describir lo mucho que me han gustado estos relatos.
Incluso la Balada de la Cárcel de Reading, y eso que es súper difícil que a mi me guste un poema.
Top 5:
1. El crimen de Lord Arthur Savile.
2. El gigante egoísta.
3. El retrato de Mister W.H.
4. El pescador y su alma.
5. El cumpleaños de la infanta.

aburrida en el trabajó encontré el audiolibro de este libro, asi mientras finjo que hago algo, por lo menos me lleno la cabeza con algo. No era consciente de lo que echaba en falta que me contaran una historia, como cuando de pequeña escuchaba los casetes con cuentos en mi casa, me encanta, porque aunque leo bastante, es una nueva forma de imaginar historias (por lo menos para mi)
el cuento también me ha gustado mucho la verdad es q me gusta bastante el humor de oscar wilde, y bueno q luego es un romanticón profundo, y eso también me gusta
En este libro Virginia andó para que Clara Clarividente pudiera volar años después en la casa de los espíritus

spectracommunist's review against another edition

“When a golden girl can win
Prayer from out the lips of sin,
When the barren almond bears,
And a little child gives away its tears,
Then shall all the house be still
And peace come to Canterville.”
It was so sweet and funny. And Gosh, the writing style of Oscar Wilde nails every single time. The story was good and is actually a parody of Americans by an English.
The American family is not at all afraid of the sinister Canterville Ghost and makes him so embarrassed and frightened every single time he attempts to scare them. The Ghost perceives the parents as too materialistic but they aren't as, in the end, they don't accept the priceless necklace and the twin boys are described so annoying but they care a lot for their sister.
The funny thing was that the Ghost considered himself as the artist to the people who get scared (the admirers of his great work) and so he's totally ridiculed by the American family as of lacking brains to understand his art ... Lol!

This is a funny short story about an American family that moves into a haunted house in England and decides that they are not going to put up with this sort of nonsense. The husband keeps trying to get the ghost to oil his chains so he makes less noise at night and the children spend most of their time trying to prank the ghost. At the end the daughter finds out how to send the ghost on its way into the afterlife and is rewarded with a bunch of beautiful jewels the ghost had hidden.
