The Canterville Ghost

Autor Oscar Wilde
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 oct 2019
The Canterville Ghost' is a humorous tale of an English ghost, set in Canterville Chase, an ancient English house that has all the requisite signs of appearing haunted. An American family of six the Otis family moves into the house despite being warned that the house is haunted. None of the members of the Otis family believe in the presence of the ghost. However, they keep finding the increasing evidence of the ghost's presence. Despite that, the Otises refuse to believe that the house is haunted. From clanking chains to strange apparitions to bloodstains that keep reappearing, they take everything in their stride. They go about their life as usual, not frightened in the least. Only Virginia, the daughter of the Otis family, believes that the ghost exists. The narrator of the story is none other than Sir Simon, the ghost himself. He is characterised by a colorful personality and complex emotions. His regular talks with Virginia about matters of life and death reveal the complexity of his feelings. 'The Canterville Ghost' first appeared in 'The Court and Society Review Magazine' in February 1887. It has been adapted for film, theatre, and music.

In his lifetime he wrote nine plays, one novel, and numerous poems, short stories, and essays.

Notă biografică

Oscar Wilde wurde am 16. Oktober 1854 in Dublin geboren und starb am 30. November 1900 in Paris. Er war ein irischer Schriftsteller.

Wilde war das zweite von drei Kindern eines angesehenen Arztes und einer Übersetzerin. Durch die literarische Tätigkeit seiner Mutter bekam Wilde schon früh Kontakt zu kulturellen Kreisen und dem Schreiben.

Nach seinem Internatsbesuch studierte Wilde klassische Literatur in Dublin und reiste zu dieser Zeit schon nach Italien. Ab 1874 studierte er zusätzlich in Oxford, wo er ebenfalls mit Bravour abschloss. 1878 bekam sein Gedicht "Ravenna" erste öffentliche Aufmerksamkeit. Wilde zog nach London, wo er sich als extravaganter Dandy schnell einen Namen machte. Erste Werke wurden verlegt und er wurde 1881 in die USA eingeladen.

Als berühmter und gefeierter Dichter heiratete er eine Kinderbuchautorin, mit der er sich in London niederließ und zwei Söhne bekam.1886 lebte er erstmals seine Homosexualität aus und stand künftig der Ehe immer kritischer gegenüber. 1890 erschien mit dem Roman "The Picture of Dorian Gray" sein bekanntestes und zugleich als "anrüchigstes" angesehenes Werk.

Aufgrund seiner Kontakte zu männlichen Prostituierten wurde Wilde 1895 zu zwei Jahren Zuchthaus mit schwerer Zwangsarbeit verurteilt. Hier wurde seine Gesundheit dermaßen ruiniert, dass er sofort nach Entlassung nach Paris übersiedelte. Seine Letzten drei Lebensjahre verbrachte Wilde unter dem Namen "Sebastian Melmoth" verarmt und isoliert in einem Hotel.

Oscar Wilde starb mit 46 Jahren in Paris an den Folgen einer Mittelohrentzündung.
