Los Otis, una acomodada familia estadounidense, compra el añejo castillo inglés de los Canterville. Todos, hasta el mismo dueño, les avisan que la vivienda está habitada por un horrible fantasma, pero los Otis no creen en esas cosas. Lejos de amedrentarse, compran el castillo con fantasma incluído y acaban atormentando al pobre espectro anacrónico, que termina siendo juguete y víctima de los dos niños terribles de la familia.

La novela relata la historia de Dorian Gray, mezclando realidad y fantasía. Un joven atractivo y exitoso desarrolla la obsesión por mantenerse siempre joven, después de que el pintor Basil Hallward, su amigo, lo relata soberbiamente en un lienzo. Todas las huellas de sus depravados actos y los estragos del paso de tiempo se traspasan a la pintura, permaneciendo él inmutable, lanzándose así en una espiral de odio y vicio.

Oscar Wilde's enduring masterpiece, this fable of innocence and corruption, purity and decay has become a true classic. The beautiful, narcissistic Dorian Gray, torn between the influence of cynical hedonist Lord Henry Wotton and tortured artist Basil Hallward, sells the beauty of his soul in exchange for external perfection. Ultimately, he cannot escape the disfigurement of sin. Wilde's remarkable wit and memorable, epigrammatic lines dazzle in audiobook form!

A terrifying ghost is haunting the ancient mansion of Canterville Chase, complete with creaking floorboards, clanking chains and gruesome disguises - but the new occupants seem strangely undisturbed by his presence. Deftly contrasting the conventional gothic ghost story with the pragmatism of the modern world, Wilde creates a gently comic fable of the conflict between old and new. Rupert Degas's hilarious reading brings the absurdity and theatricality of the story to life.

"The Canterville Ghost" is a popular short story by Oscar Wilde, widely adapted for the screen and stage. It was the first of Wilde's stories to be published, appearing in the magazine "The Court and Society Review" in February 1887. It was later included in a collection of short stories entitled "Lord Arthur Savile's Crime and Other Stories" in 1891. The American Minister and his family have bought the English stately home Canterville Chase, complete with the ghost of Sir Simon de Canterville - blood stains, clanking chains and all.

"A House of Pomegranates" (1891) is a collection of fairy tales, written by Oscar Wilde, that was published as a second collection for "The Happy Prince and Other Tales" (1888). Wilde once said that this collection was "intended neither for the British child nor the British public."

This short work of Wilde's was written during his two year incarceration for "gross indecency". This work is a letter which sorts out his life, and his love toward Lord Alfred Douglas. Wilde wrote this as a farewell letter to Douglas.

Il principe felice e altre fiabe' è un audiolibro, proposto da Alfaudiobook, che raccoglie quattro fiabe di Oscar Wilde...

Pubblicati nel 1888, il Principe felice, Il gigante egoista e L'usignolo e la rosa sembrano favole per bambini, ma contengono invece un messaggio per tutti gli uomini, per il loro ottuso atteggiamento di fronte agli intramontabili valori dell'arte e della vita. Sono novelle ricche di un delicato lirismo, nelle quali lo straordinario talento creativo di Wilde profonde visioni di grazia e di bellezza incomparabili.

Dorian Gray, giovane e bellissimo dandy della società londinese del diciannovesimo secolo, plagiato e iniziato dall'amico esteta Lord Henry, esprime, contemplando un proprio ritratto, il desiderio di poter rimanere sempre giovane e bello. Per un terribile sortilegio è il dipinto a portare i segni dell'età che avanza e della decadenza umana e morale ...

Dorian Gray è un ragazzo bello, virtuoso e amabile come nessun altro giovane. Il pittore Basil Hallward, che nutre verso Dorian forti sentimenti, sta dipingendo con maestria il ritratto del giovane. Nello studio dell’artista si trova anche Lord Henry Wotton, sofisticato e cinico. Il nobile persuade a poco a poco Dorian dell’importanza della bellezza, un valore prezioso e assoluto che il tempo corrompe. Un’insana ossessione si impadronisce del ragazzo, che vorrebbe restare per sempre bello come nel ritratto.
