The book includes two collections of fairy tales of the famous English writer, the master of European aesthetics Oscar Wilde – “Happy Prince” (1888) and “Pomegranate House” (1891). Named by the author himself “sketches in prose, for which the form of fantasy was chosen,” performed by elegant external simplicity and deep ironic paradoxes, these bewitching and sad stories reveal the reader of another Wilde – the creator of refined philosophical allegories about beauty and love, about good and evil, about life and death.
