The Happy Prince, and Other Stories Audiobook

" Jadi inget dulu pas SD, pernah baca Pangeran Bahagia di majalah anak-anak. Waktu itu ceritanya gak sepanjang yang di buku ini, en gw inget kalau gw baca cerita itu berulang-ulang secara gw suka banget. Cerpen yang paling gw suka di buku ini Pangeran Bahagia dan Raksasa yang Egois. "

" I never knew that beneath Oscar Wilde's glib persona was a hopeless and wounded romantic. Half of these stories are utterly heart breaking, but they're also beautifully written and remark upon a few of the more unfortunate aspects of society that are still pertinent issues today. Brace yourself for terrible things happening to good people who are then rewarded in the afterlife after they die tragically, but other than that enjoy a "good read". "

" I love Oscar Wilde, and this book was fun, but I wanted to shake Little Hans until he passed out. His story made me hate stories with morals, too. I think that was the point. "

" A fun collection of Wilde's stories are geared, in many ways, towards a younger audience. They are highly moralistic, with very clear messages about living generous, kind, and loving life. Not for those who are looking for something like his famous plays, but well worth a read if you want a better feel for his canon. "

" Aku sudah baca beberapa cerpennya dalam versi Bahasa Inggris, memang 'dongeng' yang indah dan memiliki pesan moral dengan penyampaian yang unik. Cerita awal: Pangeran nan bahagia, ngeplek dengan cerita yang ada di Kera Sakti (yang terjadi di China). Wow, entahlah. "

" I love Oscar Wilde. His humor is so biting and witty and cleverly hidden in stories intended for kids. I'm just sorry I had to return the book before getting to read all the stories. "

" Who doesn't love a little Wilde? "

" I definitely recommend reading Wilde's fairy tales, if you're looking for something after reading the obligatory "Dorian Gray" and "Importance of Being Earnest". A less sarcastic, dramatic reading that shows off the tenderness in Wilde's writings. "

" Oscar Wilde cracks me up. Some stories were depressing, some dark, some funny, some sweet. I especially liked The Remarkable Rocket. "

" Oscar Wilde might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you hear 'fairy tales' but these are genius. They manage to be full of all the innocence and magic of children's stories but with a twist that is unmistakably Wilde. "

" These short stories are great to read - funny, sad or even confusing; but still brilliant to read! Some of them might be great as goodnight stories for children also. What I don't like is Wilde's writing style in sense of his explanations of the setting. Too long and detailed for short stories! "

" These few fairy tales are not your normal happy-ending-stories - they have a sting - some quite sad, some funny, most of them evolving around the theme of loss, suffering and self-sacrifice and friendship. "

" These are great, orginal tales by Wilde. I was surprised by how much Christianity was mixed into the stories, and yet none of them seemed to have a clear moral. "

" this book changed my life and made Wilde my favourite author. Disguised as a Fairy-Tale book, but truly a masterpiece of the human mind - alas, should it be so true. "

" After reading this I believe that Oscar Wilde was a hopeful cynic. He wrote these tales, fables really with morals and Christian symbols. I still enjoy The Happy Prince, and I also liked The Selfish Giant. I found the rest depressing. "

" I'm glad I finally read it. I don't enjoy stories where the protagonist is a villain, especially when the author obviously has so much sympathy for the character. "

" very witty book, definitely one to be read over and over. All Wilde says is the truth, no matter how paradoxical "

" I am yet to read a bad Oscar Wilde book. He is simply amazing. "

" The dated style of prose makes it a slow read, but the story is a classic. Knowing that Oscar Wilde was struggling with his sexuality adds an element that gives depth to the conflict. "

" I love Oscar Wilde's style of writing. Believe it or not, this is the first time I've read anything by him, and now I am itching to read everything he wrote. "

" Exquisite... the word that came to my mind after the last page of this wonderful piece of art. I can't really say much, but its interesting how everything goes around the arts, the beauty and the greed. <br/><br/>Go and read this, period. "

" I read this book/story a long time ago, I think I was about 7 or 8. It touched me deeply, and was actually the first story that made me cry. (before that I only had read &quot;happy&quot; stories) "

" great stories, they carry a much deeper values plus the fun of the fairy tail "

" Short but very good. Don't miss it! "

" So many years have passed, but I still cry every time I read the end. Oscar, you leave me speechless (which is quite an achievement, trust me!) "

" I read this when I was in elementary school and loved it. I remember I cried and cried because it was such a touching story about love that was willing to give the ultimate sacrifice. "

" My favourite fairy tale of all time. Sad and beautiful. "

" It was short and sweet. I don't think I'll ever go, 'Ooh! I should read Happy Prince again!' but reading it that one time was very pleasant and the morals were nice. I was surprised by dear Mr. Wilde, after having read the Picture of Dorian Gray!<br/>No, I kid. But it was very nice. "

" The writing style is so beautiful. The story is absolutely scrumtulescent. I envy Wilde :P "
