Sinossi

đź‘» What happens when an American family moves into a haunted English mansion? The ghost isn't ready for them.

Oscar Wilde's The Canterville Ghost is a witty and whimsical short story that blends gothic horror with sparkling satire. When the modern, no-nonsense Otis family buys the old Canterville Chase estate, they're not the least bit scared by its resident ghost—Sir Simon, who has been haunting the halls for centuries. But Sir Simon soon finds that haunting Americans is harder than it looks…

💫 A ghost story turned upside down—with plenty of charm, laughs, and a surprising twist of heart.
Wilde takes aim at British aristocracy, American pragmatism, and the clichés of horror fiction in this delightful tale that's equal parts comedy, mystery, and melancholy. What begins as a battle of wits between ghost and guests turns into a surprisingly touching story about forgiveness, redemption, and the need to be remembered.

🕯️ Perfect for fans of ghost stories, clever humor, and timeless storytelling.

    A powerful history of Jewish art collectors in France, and how an embrace of art and beauty was met with hatred and destruction 
     
     
     
    In the dramatic years between 1870 and the end of World War II, a number of prominent French Jews—pillars of an embattled community—invested their fortunes in France's cultural artifacts, sacrificed their sons to the country's army, and were ultimately rewarded by seeing their collections plundered and their families deported to Nazi concentration camps. 
     
     
     
    In this rich, evocative account, James McAuley explores the central role that art and material culture played in the assimilation and identity of French Jews in the fin-de-siècle. Weaving together narratives of various figures, some familiar from the works of Marcel Proust and the diaries of Jules and Edmond Goncourt—the Camondos, the Rothschilds, the Ephrussis, the Cahens d'Anvers—McAuley shows how Jewish art collectors contended with a powerful strain of anti-Semitism: they were often accused of "invading" France's cultural patrimony. The collections these families left behind—many ultimately donated to the French state—were their response, tragic attempts to celebrate a nation that later betrayed them.
