«El crim de Lord Arthur Savile / El fantasma dels Canterville» is a volume of short stories by Oscar Wilde, published by Edicions Bromera in paperback.
The volume brings together two narratives by Oscar Wilde: in the first, Lord Arthur Savile receives a prediction from a palm reader that he will commit murder and is drawn into absurd plans; in the second, an American family moves into an English mansion and the ghost, unable to scare them, ends up in a comic and moving relationship.
It is number 1 of the A la lluna de València collection, in Catalan, with a translation from English by Víctor Oroval.
Recommended for readers aged 14 and over and for those who want to discover Oscar Wilde through two short stories with humour and irony.
Oscar Fingal O'Fflahertie Wills Wilde was an Irish author, poet and playwright. After writing in different literary styles throughout the 1880s, he became one of the most popular and influential dramatists in London in the early 1890s. He was a key figure in the emerging Aestheticism movement of the late 19th century and is widely regarded as the greatest playwright of the Victorian era. Wilde is best known for his Gothic novel The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890), his epigrams, plays and bedtime stories for children, as well as his criminal conviction in 1895 for gross indecency and for practicing homosexual acts.
