The Starry Boy. Tales

The fairy tale world of Oscar Wilde is populated by the most unusual heroes: a golden boy who fell from the sky, a selfish giant living in a beautiful garden, a statue of a prince towering over the city, and... many other wondrous characters. The main value of the tales by the English writer lies in their sincerity, rich philosophical undertones, and the diversity of themes raised by the author. Through metaphors, he converses with the reader about compassion, love, and the importance of trials for inner development. This is a gift edition in magnificent printing quality. Hardcover with embossed elements and partial varnishing. Color endpapers. Thick tinted paper. Clear, large, easily readable font.
