"'Every day, the Sheriff robs the ordinary people with high taxes, ' Robin said to the other outlaws. 'We should rob the Sheriff in return. But we will not rob him because we want to be rich. We will use the money to help the poor. We will not harm women, children or honest men. We will right wrongs when we can and we will bring hope to the people when we can. We will live outside the law because the law is only for rich men. We will fight these rich men's unfair laws.' "--Back cover
Teneri e inquietanti, elegantissimi nel loro stile raffinato e studiatissimo e, nel contempo, inaspettatamente pervasi di un'ingenua sincerità, i racconti brevi di Oscar Wilde raccolti in questo volume con testo originale a fronte sono quattro piccoli capolavori della letteratura di tutti i tempi. Nel Fantasma di Canterville Wilde riesce a mescolare magistralmente l'ironia e l'orrore, il patetico e il sublime, in una storia originalissima che testimonia lo sconcertante impatto tra il razionalismo del Nuovo Mondo e il pathos romantico dei castelli inglesi. La sfinge senza enigmi e Il milionario modello sono due straordinari esempi di quello stile brillante e mondano che lo scrittore fece sfavillare sul palcoscenico nelle sue commedie, idolatrate dalla buona società vittoriana. Il delitto di Lord Arthur Savile è invece un'esaltante prova d'autore, la stupefacente dimostrazione di come si possano coniugare il verosimile e l'irrazionale in una storia giallo-rosa di estrema piacevolezza.
