This is Oscar Wilde's tale of the American family moved into a British mansion, Canterville Chase, much to the annoyance of its tired ghost. The family -- which refuses to believe in him -- is in Wilde's way a commentary on the British nobility of the day -- and on the Americans, too. The tale, like many of Wilde's, is rich with allusion, but ends as sentimental romance.

Mannivu reviewed Il fantasma di Canterville by Oscar Wilde

Leggero e veloce

5 stars

Molto diverso da quanto mi aspettassi (mi aspettavo un racconto gotico), ma è molto carino e molto umano, nonostante si parli di un fantasma.
