Gespenst Von Canterville

Gespenst von Canterville

by Oscar Wilde

Das Gespenst von Canterville ist eine humorvolle und satirische Geschichte von Oscar Wilde, die die Begegnung einer amerikanischen Familie mit einem englischen Gespenst erzählt. Die Otis Familie, die das Schloss Canterville erwirbt, wird vor dem Gespenst Sir Simon de Canterville gewarnt, aber die Familie ist wenig beeindruckt. Stattdessen verhöhnen und ärgern sie den Geist mit amerikanischen Methoden und Neuheiten. Insbesondere die Tochter Virginia empfindet jedoch Mitgefühl für den einsamen Geist und versucht, ihm zu helfen, seinen inneren Frieden zu finden. Die Geschichte verbindet humorvolle Szenen mit tiefsinnigen Beobachtungen über die menschliche Natur und die kulturellen Unterschiede zwischen Amerika und England.
