«Le fantôme de Canterville» is Oscar Wilde's fantastic tale, published by Hachette Education in paperback (128 pages, in French).
An American family moves into an English mansion that the former owners claim is haunted. Far from being intimidated, the Otises stand up to the spectre, and the twins of the house turn cohabitation into a repertoire of pranks against the poor ghost. It blends humour, caricature and a moving tone.
Volume 36 of the Bibliocollège collection, with the complete annotated text, translation by Jules Castier and edition by Isabelle de Lisle. The original work, The Canterville Ghost, was published in 1887.
Aimed at secondary school students in France, it is a school edition for working on reading in the classroom.
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.
