Sinopsis

In 'The Great Fairy Tales - Oscar Wilde Edition (Illustrated),' readers are invited into a world of whimsical enchantment where Wilde's signature wit and lyrical prose shine. These tales transcend conventional fables, weaving rich layers of social commentary, moral lessons, and the complexities of human nature. The illustrations complement Wilde's vivid narratives, capturing the ethereal quality of his storytelling while enhancing the reader's visual experience. This collection is not only a testament to Wilde's literary prowess but also reflects the broader context of the late 19th century, where folklore and fairy tales began to be reimagined in more nuanced, often subversive ways. Oscar Wilde, renowned for his flamboyant style and sharp intellect, was a key figure in the Aesthetic Movement, advocating 'art for art's sake.' His own tumultuous life experiences and the societal constraints he faced likely influenced his portrayal of characters each wrestling with their destinies. Wilde's background in classic literature and his keen understanding of the human condition allow him to craft tales that resonate on multiple levels — a fusion of beauty, tragedy, and humor. This edition is a must-read for both literature enthusiasts and those seeking profound truths wrapped in delightful narratives. Wilde's fairy tales offer timeless reflections on love, sacrifice, and the search for identity. Dive into this illustrated collection, and discover how Wilde transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary through his enchanting prose.

The Man in the Moon - The Man in...

L. Frank Baum

The Man in the Moon came tumbling down, 
And enquired the way to Norwich; 
He went by the south and burned his mouth 
With eating cold pease porridge! 
WHAT! have you never heard the story of the Man in the Moon? Then I must surely tell it, for it is very amusing, and there is not a word of truth in it. 
The Man in the Moon was rather lonesome, and often he peeked over the edge of the moon and looked down upon the earth and envied all the people who lived together, for he thought it must be vastly more pleasant to have companions to talk to than to be shut up in a big planet all by himself, where he had to whistle to keep himself company. 
One day he looked down and saw an alderman sailing up through the air towards him. This alderman was being translated (instead of being transported, owing to a misprint in the law) and as he came near the Man in the Moon called to him and said, 
"How is everything down on the earth?" 
"Everything is lovely," replied the alderman, "and I wouldn't leave it if I was not obliged to." 
"What's a good place to visit down there? enquired the Man in the Moon. 
"Oh, Norwich is a mighty fine place," returned the alderman, "and it's famous for its pease porridge;" and then he sailed out of sight and left the Man in the Moon to reflect upon what he had said.
