About this book
In an era marked by a fascination with the supernatural and the absurd, "Il fantasma di Canterville e il delitto di Lord Savile" by Oscar Wilde delivers a witty exploration of cultural clashes. When the American Otis family moves into the haunted Canterville Chase, they confront not just a ghost but the remnants of British aristocracy, leading to comical misunderstandings. Wilde cleverly contrasts the pragmatic American spirit with the spectral traditions of English nobility, underscoring themes of identity and societal expectations. Ideal for students, literary enthusiasts, and historians, this novella invites readers to reflect on the absurdities of life and the nature of fear. Discover the humor in haunting as Wilde masterfully blends the eerie with the entertaining.
