{"product_id":"the-canterville-ghost","title":"The Canterville Ghost","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"607\" data-end=\"1236\"\u003eOscar Wilde’s \u003cem data-start=\"663\" data-end=\"691\"\u003eEl fantasma de Canterville\u003c\/em\u003e is a classic ghost story that flips the genre on its head. When the practical, modern Otis family from the United States buys an old English mansion, they’re warned that a ghost still walks its corridors. The family moves in anyway—fully confident that a “haunted house” is just another quaint European superstition. What follows is a series of eerie (and often hilarious) encounters with Sir Simon, the long-suffering resident spirit of Canterville, who discovers that frightening this particular household may be his hardest job in centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1238\" data-end=\"1613\"\u003eWilde blends Gothic atmosphere with sharp social satire: tradition clashes with modern common sense, and horror tropes are gently mocked without losing their charm. Beneath the comedy, the story carries a surprisingly tender emotional core—especially as one family member begins to see the ghost not as a nuisance, but as a figure trapped by regret and the weight of history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1615\" data-end=\"2047\"\u003eThis edition (paperback, 130 pages) is an easy pick for readers who want a short, satisfying classic with personality: ideal for anyone who enjoys clever dialogue, Victorian wit, haunted-manor vibes, and stories that balance humor with a touch of melancholy. It also works well as a gateway classic for readers returning to literature or looking to explore Wilde beyond his plays and aphorisms.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BOOKLYA ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52737551991121,"sku":"9788483597262","price":12.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0875\/0861\/5505\/files\/the-canterville-ghost-oscar-wilde-bilingual-edition-el-544.webp?v=1771254467","url":"https:\/\/booklya.shop\/products\/the-canterville-ghost","provider":"BOOKLYA ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
