The House of Pomegranates

Book Review

«The House of Pomegranates» by Oscar Wilde is a collection of fairy tales that continues the traditions of his previous work, «The Happy Prince and Other Tales». Critics note that in this collection, Wilde uses the fairy tale genre to explore complex themes such as sacrifice, love, and moral dilemmas. Each story is filled with symbolism and allegory, inviting the reader to reflect on profound questions of human existence. Wilde's style is, as always, refined and rich, making the reading of these tales a true aesthetic pleasure. However, some critics point out the darkness and tragedy of the plots, which may not appeal to all readers. Nevertheless, «The House of Pomegranates» remains an important part of Wilde's literary legacy, showcasing his mastery in creating multilayered and emotionally charged stories.
