More about the book
Lord Arthur Savile's Crime, almost a short novel, is a small masterpiece of gentle cynicism where poison, explosive watches, and ultimately the crime are essential preludes to the marriage between the protagonist and a sweet girl. In The Canterville Ghost, a brilliant tale filled with humorous epiphanies, one of the key themes of Wilde's thought appears suddenly: the possibility of redemption. The prophet of neopaganism weighs the exact weight of sin and discovers the mysterious paths of redemption and forgiveness. The Sphinx Without a Secret is a brief narrative with a Maupassant flavor, where all of Wilde's masculinity explodes, while The Model Millionaire is a sort of salon anecdote, pleasing to the Victorian bourgeoisie, told with inimitable grace.
