Am 9. Juni 1970 von Branden Books veröffentlicht.
This is Oscar Wilde's tale of the American family moved into a British mansion, Canterville Chase, much to the annoyance of its tired ghost. The family -- which refuses to believe in him -- is in Wilde's way a commentary on the British nobility of the day -- and on the Americans, too. The tale, like many of Wilde's, is rich with allusion, but ends as sentimental romance.
Molto diverso da quanto mi aspettassi (mi aspettavo un racconto gotico), ma è molto carino e molto umano, nonostante si parli di un fantasma.
