«El gigante egoísta» is the classic tale by Oscar Wilde, published by Orbis in paperback (26 pages, in Spanish).
A giant who lives in a castle with a beautiful garden drives out the children who play there and, as punishment, a perpetual winter takes over everything. Only when a small child shows him the value of generosity does the giant understand his mistake and spring returns to his life.
The edition was published in 1996 as part of Orbis's collection of universal tales. The text is in Spanish.
A short tale intended for readers of all ages, with a moral about generosity and the value of sharing.
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.
