Sinopsis

In "The Most Beloved Fairytales of Oscar Wilde Edition," Wilde seamlessly fuses his poetic sensibilities with the enchanting elements of classic fairy tales, crafting narratives that explore profound themes of love, beauty, and the complexities of human experience. This collection includes timeless stories such as "The Happy Prince" and "The Selfish Giant," showcasing Wilde's unique ability to weave moral lessons within whimsical and poignant storytelling. The literary style is marked by lush imagery, sardonic wit, and a touch of the macabre, all reflecting the aesthetic movement of the late 19th century that championed beauty and art for art's sake. Oscar Wilde, renowned for his flamboyant style and sharp intellect, was born in Dublin in 1854. Growing up in a culturally rich environment, Wilde was deeply influenced by his education at Oxford and his exposure to the literary traditions of Romanticism and Decadence. His experiences as a playwright and a social critic shaped his fairy tales, allowing him to critique societal norms while embracing the fantastical elements that ignite the imagination. This exquisite edition is a must-read for fans of fairy tales and those interested in the intersections of morality and creativity in literature. Wilde's masterpieces transcend age, inviting readers to consider the deeper meanings behind their delightful narratives. Experience the magic and profundity of Wilde's storytelling and uncover the universal truths that resonate within each tale.

Styx and Stones

Gary D. Schmidt, Ron Koertge

Percy Jackson meets The Labors of Hercules Beal in this hilarious, page-turning fantasy adventure with a heart of gold from two award-winning authors. 
Simon expected more from life than being orphaned in ancient Greece and stuck in the Underworld for eternity. Determined not to forget who he is, he commits himself to escaping Hades. Along the way, he faces the monster Cerberus, befriends the tormented Sisyphus, and becomes Persephone’s favorite servant. Then, after centuries of failed attempts, he is finally thrust into modern times—and into the stall of a middle school bathroom. Naked. 
With the help of Zeke, a nerdy rich kid on the social fringes, Simon learns to navigate this amazing and bewildering world. And with Simon’s help, Zeke begins to question his comfortable life and understand the true meaning of friendship. Everything seems to be going great . . . until the god of the Underworld sends a demon girl to bring Simon back. And suddenly, it’s not just the secret of Simon’s past that’s threatened, but their very lives—and everyone’s around them, too. Is their friendship strong enough to withstand the Will of Hades and save St. Nikolaos Academy Middle School? 
From two-time Newbery honoree Gary D. Schmidt and two-time PEN Award winner Ron Koertge, Styx and Stones is an unforgettable coming-of-age adventure about friendship, courage, and identity, brimming with Greek mythology and high-stakes action.
