Het Granaatappelhuis by Oscar Wilde
"Het Granaatappelhuis" by Oscar Wilde is a collection of fairy tales published in 1891. This second fairy tale collection features four stories that blend decadent aesthetics with moral themes. A young king confronts the suffering behind his luxury. A dwarf discovers cruel truth at a princess's birthday celebration. A fisherman abandons his soul for love of a mermaid. A beautiful but cruel boy faces transformation after rejecting his mother. Each tale explores
sensuality, sacrifice, and the costs of desire through Wilde's characteristic paradoxes and poetic style. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
