Produktbeschreibung

Every afternoon, after school, the children used to go and play in the Giant's yard. One day the Giant came back. He had been to visit his friend the Cornish ogre, and had stayed with him for seven years. After the seven years he had said all that he had to say, and he decided to return to his own castle. When he arrived he saw the children playing in the yard. So he built a high wall all round it, and put up a sign. Nach der Schule schleichen die Kinder gern in den Garten des Riesen. Als der Riese jedoch entdeckt, dass sie in seinem Garten spielen, verbietet er den Kindern den Zugang und baut eine Mauer. Von nun an kehren auch Frühling und Sommer nicht mehr in den Garten zurück - es scheint für immer Winter zu bleiben. Doch eines Tages ereignet sich etwas Wundervolles. Schauspielerin Anah Ruddin spricht einfühlsam und warm die Geschichten des glücklichen Prinzen und der aufopfernden Nachtigall, Gordon Griffin lässt den Hörer die innere Wandlung des bösen Riesen mitfühlen. Die GoyaLiT-Reihe "The Sound of the Language" präsentiert die beliebtesten Themen der englischsprachigen Literatur im Original. Englische Schauspieler interpretieren die ungekürzten Texte.

Oscar Wilde was born in Dublin on 16 October 1854. He studied at Trinity College, Dublin and Magdalen College, Oxford. He later lived in London and married Constance Lloyd there in 1884. Wilde was a leader of the Aesthetic Movement. His only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, was first published in Lippincott's Monthly Magazine in 1890. He published a revised and expanded edition in 1891 in response to negative reviews which criticised the book's immorality. Wilde became famous through of the immense success of his plays such as Lady Windemere's Fan (1892), An Ideal Husband (1895) and The Importance of Being Earnest (1895). In 1985, after a public scandal involving Wilde's relationship with Lord Alfred Douglas, he was sentenced to two years' hard labour in Reading Gaol for 'gross indecency'. His poem The Ballad of Reading Gaol was based on his experiences in prison and was published in 1898. After his release, Wilde never lived in England again and died in Paris on 30 November 1900. He is buried in Père Lachaise cemetery.
