About this ebook
When a young fisherman falls in love with a beautiful mermaid, he is faced with an impossible choice: to be with her, he must cast away his very soul. Thus begins a haunting journey through strange lands and spiritual trials, as his discarded soul, unwilling to be forgotten, takes on a life of its own. In The Fisherman and his Soul, Oscar Wilde weaves a poetic and philosophical fable that explores the boundaries of love, the cost of desire, and the redemptive power of compassion. Rich in symbolism and moral depth, this enchanting story reminds us that the greatest truths often lie hidden in the depths of the heart. A timeless classic from one of literature's most luminous voices.
About the author
Oscar Wilde, the iconic 19th-century Irish playwright and writer, dazzled Victorian society with his sharp intelligence and biting wit. Born in 1854 in Dublin, Wilde rose to fame with works such as The Picture of Dorian Gray, a novel that explored moral decay, and his witty social comedies such as The Importance of Being Earnest and An Ideal Husband. However, his life was marked by controversies and scandals, which eventually led him to prison. Despite his tragic fate, his literary legacy endures as a testament to the brilliant wit and social satire that characterized his work.
