À propos de cet audio

 The Canterville Ghost is a novella by Oscar Wilde, first published in 1887. A delightful blend of humor, satire, and the supernatural, the story follows the Otis family, a modern and pragmatic American household, who move into Canterville Chase, an old English mansion rumored to be haunted by the ghost of Sir Simon de Canterville. Unlike the typical terrified residents of haunted houses, the Otis family is unfazed by the ghost’s attempts to frighten them. Instead, they treat his antics with practical solutions—offering oil to fix his rattling chains and ignoring his eerie moans. The ghost, who has successfully terrified past occupants for centuries, becomes increasingly frustrated and disheartened by their indifference. However, the family’s kind-hearted daughter, Virginia, takes a different approach. She listens to Sir Simon’s tragic tale, learning of his past sins and the curse that binds him to the house. Through her compassion and bravery, she ultimately helps him find peace and redemption. A witty critique of both British and American cultural differences, The Canterville Ghost is a charming and poignant story that blends gothic elements with Wilde’s sharp humor and moral reflection.2025 Quiet.
