Oscar Wilde : Four Stories: Lord Arthur Savile's Crime; The Canterville Ghost; The Sphinx Without a Secret; The Model Millionaire

The four tales gathered here reveal Oscar Wilde’s gift for blending wit, irony, and moral reflection within the form of the short story.

• Lord Arthur Savile’s Crime is a darkly comic exploration of fate and free will, where polite society collides with the absurd.

• The Canterville Ghost playfully turns the traditional ghost story on its head, offering satire as sharp as it is humorous.

• In The Sphinx Without a Secret, Wilde meditates on mystery and illusion, showing how beauty and enigma may dissolve under the scrutiny of truth.

• Finally, The Model Millionaire provides a tender moral fable, reminding us that generosity and kindness carry more value than wealth or charm.
