El fantasma de Canterville (Golden Deer Classics)

by Oscar Wilde

Overview

Es una parodia de los relatos de terror en la que un embajador americano Hiram B. Otis se traslada con su familia a un castillo encantado en Inglaterra. Lord Canterville, dueño anterior del castillo, le avisa de que el fantasma de Sir Simon de Canterville pulula por el castillo desde que este asesinó a su esposa Lady Eleonore de Canterville. Pero el Sr. Otis desoye sus advertencias. Así, la familia americana de mister Hiriam B. habitan en la mansión, burlándose constantemente del fantasma debido a la indiferencia de estos ante los sucesos paranormales.

About the Author

The ever-quotable Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) was an Irish playwright, novelist, essayist, and poet who delighted Victorian England with his legendary wit. He found critical and popular success with his scintillating plays, chiefly The Importance of Being Earnest, while his only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, scandalized readers. Imprisoned for two years for homosexual behavior, Wilde moved to France after his release, where he died destitute.
