Description

"Lord Arthur Savile's Crime; The Portrait of Mr. W.H., and Other Stories" by Oscar Wilde is a collection of short stories published in 1891. The volume blends mystery and dark comedy across tales of fateful predictions, stubborn spirits, and curious secrets. A palm-reader's prophecy sets a nobleman on a darkly comic quest, while an American family faces an exasperated ghost. Other stories explore enigmatic women and unexpected generosity. Wilde crafts witty narratives where supernatural encounters meet social satire, and destiny collides with human nature in surprising ways. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
