{"product_id":"complete-short-fiction-penguin-classics","title":"Complete Short Fiction (Penguin Classics)","description":"The complete short stories of the masterful Irish writer\n\nFairy tales, ghost stories, detective fiction and comedies of manners—the stories collected in this volume made Oscar Wilde's name as a writer of fiction, showing breathtaking dexterity in a wide range of literary styles. Victorian moral justice is comically inverted in \"Lord Arthur Savile's Crime\" and \"The Canterville Ghost,\" and society's materialism comes under sharp, humorous criticism in \"The Model Millionaire,\" while \"The Happy Prince\" and \"The Nightingale and the Rose\" are hauntingly melancholic in their magical evocations of selfless love. These small masterpieces convey the brilliance of Wilde's vision, exploring complex moral issues through an elegant juxtaposition of wit and sentiment.\n\nFor more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.
