Oscar Wilde: A House of Pomegranates

Fairy tales by Oscar Wilde (1854–1900) are not the most famous, but they are a special part of his legacy. Deeply believing in the power of art, which can not only give comfort but also change us, the writer created a number of works in which the flight of artistic fantasy is combined with a deep understanding of the human soul. Wilde first tried on the role of a storyteller in the book “The Happy Prince and Other Tales” (1888). The collection “The Pomegranate House” (1891) continues and completes this line of his work. Four magical stories immerse you in the atmosphere of fairy-tale wonders and, at the same time, filled with light sadness, remind you of the fragility of this world, which always needs compassion and love.
