Reseña del libro "The Happy Prince: And Other Tales"
The Happy Prince and Other Tales by Oscar Wilde. A Collection of Stories for Children. The Happy Prince and Other Tales (sometimes called The Happy Prince and Other Stories) is a collection of stories for children by Oscar Wilde first published in May 1888. It contains five stories: "The Happy Prince", "The Nightingale and the Rose", "The Selfish Giant", "The Devoted Friend", and "The Remarkable Rocket". The Happy Prince: In a town where a lot of poor people suffer and where there are a lot of miseries, a swallow who was left behind after his flock flew off to Egypt for the winter, meets the statue of the late "Happy Prince," who in reality has never experienced true sorrow, for he lived in a palace where sorrow was not allowed to enter. Viewing various scenes of people suffering in poverty from his tall monument, the Happy Prince asks the swallow to take the ruby from his hilt, the sapphires from his eyes, and the golden leaf covering his body to give to the poor.
Oscar Wilde es considerado uno de los dramaturgos más destacados del Londres victoriano tardío. Además, fue una celebridad de la época debido a su gran y aguzado ingenio. Hoy en día, es recordado por sus epigramas, sus cuentos, sus obras de teatro, su única novela, El retrato de Dorian Gray, y la tragedia de su encarcelamiento, seguida de su muerte prematura.
