Sinossi
Nelle sale di un antico castello, situato nei pressi della cittadina inglese di Ascot, da secoli si aggira un fantasma. È lo spettro sir Simon, un vecchio signore con gli occhi rossi come carboni ardenti, lunghi boccoli grigi e pesanti ceppi ai polsi e alle caviglie. Eppure sir Simon non fa paura. Al contrario, è preso di mira dai figli degli Otis – l’«orribile, volgare e disonesta famiglia» che abita il castello – e cade spesso vittima dei loro scherzi. Ad avere pietà di lui sarà solo Virginia, la sorella tanto «buona e gentile» dei giovani aguzzini, l’unica in grado di trovare nel singolare inquilino un confidente e un amico. Pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1887, Il fantasma di Canterville è il più celebre racconto di Oscar Wilde.

A Victorian ghost story by Oscar Wilde! 4.5 stars. Wilde deftly combines an occasionally grisly haunting, old-fashioned sentiment, a small droplet of romance, and a large helping of dry wit in this 1887 novella about a rather brash American family that buys a haunted mansion in Victorian England. T
JAJAJA ¿Cómo es que no lo había leído antes? Este libro es muy original y divertido. Si me sacó unas cuantas carcajadas y a la vez sentí pena por el fantasma. Inicialmente pensé que era una historia de terror, pero conforme fui avanzando me di cuenta que era pura sátira e ironía. Mi mero mole. Fue un Leggi tutto
Great satire about an English ghost being outwitted by some modern Americans (Mr Otis and his family) who bought Canterville Chase. Is there salvation for the ghost in the end? Funny ghost story with many satirical elements (the bloodstain) and fine allusions (e.g. on Fuseli's Nightmare). A real cla Leggi tutto
This book is really funny. In it the ghosts are haunted by the people. It is a good twist. I recommend this book to all.
5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐! A sophisticated parody of the traditional Ghost marvellously juxtaposed to the remarkable satirisation of American and British values; enhanced with an astounding and ingenious reversal of roles that imposes profound reflection on the themes of life and death, and imbues the narrative wit Leggi tutto

The Canterville Ghost by Oscar Wilde is a ghost story with a few surprises. Sure, it contains horror, as one would expect. Indeed, some moments are very chilling, but there’s also suspense, mystery, and romance. Oh, and as one would expect from Wilde – there is a good dash of comedy. Canterville Cha Leggi tutto
I finally got around to reading this. I heard about it as a child and never read it. Oscar is charming and his writing is funny and he tells a good story. There is a horrid ghost in a large Manor home in England. Everyone is terrified of this Canterville Ghost. One day, the Canterville’s sell the hom Leggi tutto
