Classics from some of world literature's most renowned authors are meticulously translated for young adult readers in this series of quality hardcovers. Each book includes vibrant illustrations and a full-color section about the author, the work, and the time period. "Clasicos de algunos de los autores mas destacados de la literatura mundial son cuidadosamente traducidos para adolescentes en esta serie de ediciones de calidad de tapa dura. Cada libro incluye ilustraciones vividas y una seccion a todo color sobre el autor, la obra y la epoca." The four stories in this collection provide a perfect showcase for Oscar Wilde's wit and keen sense of humor. From the tale of Lord Arthur Savile and his increasingly desperate and elaborate attempts to commit murder after being told by a clairvoyant that he must kill someone before he can marry to the story of the wealthy Otis family who refuses to believe in the indignant ghost haunting their castle in "The Canterville Ghost," these narratives weave humor and social satire into a complex tapestry of human nature. Also included are "The Sphinx without a Secret" and "A Model Millionaire." "Los cuatro cuentos en esta coleccion proveen un escaparate perfecto para el ingenio y el humor perspicaz de Oscar Wilde. Desde la historia del Lord Arthur Savile y sus intentos cada vez mas desesperados y elaborados de cometer un asesinato despues de que un quiromantico le dice que matara a alguien antes de casarse hasta el relato de la rica familia Otis que rehuse creer en el indignado fantasma que aparece en su castillo en "El fantasma de Canterville," estas narrativas entretejen el humor y el satiro y crean un tapiz complejo de la naturaleza humana. Tambien se incluyen "La esfinge sin secreto" y "El modelo millonario."" Less
