Märchen und Erzählungen: Gebundene Ausgabe

by Oscar Wilde

Overview

„Man stelle sich einen wortgewaltigen Großschriftsteller vor, dem es eines Tages einfällt, eine Märchensammlung zusammen zu stellen. Wäre das nicht wunderbar? Oscar Wilde, der vielleicht scharfzüngigste Chronist seiner Zeit, tat genau das. Wenn es gemeinsame Metathemen dieser unterhaltsamen und geistreichen Geschichten gibt, dann sind das Leiden, Mitgefühl und die Niederungen der Selbstsucht." Redaktion Gröls-Verlag (Edition Werke der Weltliteratur)

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.
