￥8.82

The Canterville Ghost
￥8.82
The Canterville Ghost is a popular 1887 novella by Oscar Wilde, widely adapted for the screen and stage. “The Canterville Ghost” is a parody featuring a dramatic spirit named Sir Simon and the United States minister (ambassador) to the Court of St. James's, Hiram B. Otis. Mr. Otis travels to England with his family and moves into a haunted country house. Lord Canterville, the previous owner of the house, warns Mr. Otis that the ghost of Sir Simon de Canterville has haunted it ever since he killed his wife, Eleonore, three centuries before. But Mr. Otis dismisses the ghost story as bunk and disregards Lord Canterville’s warnings. When the Otises learn that the house is indeed haunted, they succeed in victimizing the ghost and in disregarding age-old British traditions. What emerges is a satire of American materialism, a lampoon of traditional British values, and an amusing twist on the traditional gothic horror tale.
The Picture of Dorian Gray
￥8.82
Oscar Wilde's story of a fashionable young man who sells his soul for eternal youth and beauty is one of his most popular works. Written in Wilde's characteristically dazzling manner, full of stinging epigrams and shrewd observations, the tale of Dorian Gray's moral disintegration caused something of a scandal when it first appeared in 1890. Wilde was attacked for his decadence and corrupting influence, and a few years later the book and the aesthetic/moral dilemma it presented became issues in the trials occasioned by Wilde's homosexual liaisons, trials that resulted in his imprisonment. Of the book's value as autobiography, Wilde noted in a letter, "Basil Hallward is what I think I am: Lord Henry what the world thinks me: Dorian what I would like to be--in other ages, perhaps."

Bartleby
￥8.82
Ein ?lterer Rechtsanwalt berichtet als Icherz?hler von einem seiner Schreiber namens Bartleby, den er eines Tages in sein von Hochh?usern umstelltes lichtloses Büro in der Wall Street aufnimmt. Bartleby beginnt seine T?tigkeit mit stillem Flei? und einsiedlerischer Ausdauer. Er kopiert unermüdlich Vertr?ge, lehnt aber zur ?berraschung seines Dienstherrn schon bald jede andere T?tigkeit mit den Worten ab: ?Ich m?chte lieber nicht“, ?I would prefer not to“. Bald weigert er sich sogar, Vertr?ge zu kopieren, wohnt aber inzwischen in dem Büro - h?flich, freudlos, ohne Freunde und fast ohne zu essen. Der Rechtsanwalt kann oder will ihn nicht gewaltsam aus dem Büro entfernen lassen und auch eine gro?zügige Abfindung interessiert Bartleby nicht. Wegen eines unerkl?rlichen Einverst?ndnisses mit Bartleby sieht sich der Rechtsanwalt am Ende gezwungen, selbst aus dem Büro auszuziehen, statt Bartleby vor die Tür zu setzen. Seine Nachmieter - weniger verst?ndnisvoll - lassen Bartleby bald durch die Polizei abführen und in das Gef?ngnis The Tombs (die Gr?ber) bringen. Dort verweigert Bartleby sowohl alle Kommunikation und auch alle Nahrung. Der Rechtsanwalt versucht, sich um seinen ?Freund“ zu kümmern, aber nach wenigen Tagen stirbt Bartleby an seiner Lebensverweigerung.
