Two Masterpieces of Poetic Fantasy
"What men call the shadow of the body is not the shadow of the body, but is the body of the soul."
Oscar Wilde reveals his darker, lyrical side in these two haunting tales of love and sacrifice.
The Fisherman and His Soul
To marry a mermaid, a young fisherman must do the unthinkable: stand on the shore and cut away his own shadow, the body of his soul. But the cast-away soul does not die; it wanders the world, returning to tempt him in a tragic fable of division and desire.
The Young King
On the eve of his coronation, a shepherd-turned-king dreams of the suffering endured by the poor to create his golden robe. Horrified, he rejects his royal finery for a humbler path, transforming his kingdom through the power of empathy.
