In this enchanting collection of tales, Oscar Wilde blends beauty and wisdom, telling stories full of emotion and deep meaning. In the collection's title story, the statue of the Happy Prince stands tall above the city, surrounded by luxurious gold and precious stones, but from above he sees the suffering of the poor. With the help of a young swallow, the prince sacrifices everything he has to ease their pain, in a moving tale of love and sacrifice.
As for the rest of the stories, we find captivating characters, such as the nightingale who gives his blood to a red flower, the selfish giant who discovers the joy of giving, and the arrogant rocket who thinks himself the greatest of all. Each story brims with wisdom, challenges selfishness and greed, and illuminates humanity at its deepest.
In his exquisite style, Wilde combines imagination and morality, presenting timeless stories that transcend time, where gentle irony and deep sadness appear in tales that touch hearts and remain in the memory. This collection is not just stories for children, but rather human lessons for all ages, simulating feelings, awakening awareness, and redefining the meaning of true happiness.
