Kuhusu kitabu pepe hiki
Not your typical modern-day fairy tale... A House of Pomegranates is a collection of four fairy tales by Oscar Wilde, first published in 1891. Wilde himself once said, “These tales are not intended for very young children,” warning parents to not ruin the imaginative minds of their children by reading these stories to them. Although you won’t find any happy endings in these brilliantly written short stories, they are filled with beautiful language, whimsical imagination, and varying messages on love. “The Young King” touches on the love of God and humility. “The Birthday of the Infanta” touches on sorrows experienced when love is not returned. “The Fisherman and His Soul” explores forbidden love and the lengths one goes to achieve it. “The Star-Child” completes the book by touching on forgiveness and redemption in the name of love. This freshly rendered edition of A House of Pomegranates captures Oscar Wilde's extraordinary language, timeless themes, and captivating storytelling that is sure to leave readers enthralled. Includes a new foreword by award-winning author Russell Davis.
Kuhusu mwandishi
Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) was a brilliant author, playwright, and wit. He was born in the middle of the Victorian age—the period of English history during which Queen Victoria reigned, from 1837-1901. After graduating from Oxford University, he lectured as a poet, art critic and a leading proponent of the principles of aestheticism. Known for his biting wit, and a plentitude of aphorisms, he became one of the most successful playwrights of the late Victorian era in London, and one of the greatest celebrities of his day. Several of his plays continue to be widely performed, especially The Importance of Being Earnest. Throughout the course of his literary career, Wilde excelled in a variety of literary genres, his work often reflecting a close connection between his art and his own life. Early in his career he wrote fairy tales in which, as in all good fairy tales, the good and pure always triumphed in the end. They differed, however, in one important aspect: rather than depicting evil as an external force, Wilde chose to reveal the evil within human beings. Wilde is most commonly known for his works titled The Picture of Dorian Gray, The Canterville Ghost and his plays.
