Review # 1 was written on 2014-09-13 00:00:00 Lisa Merrifield The Happy Prince and Other Tales‬ = The Happy Prince and Other Stories‭, Oscar Wilde The Happy Prince and Other Tales is a collection of stories for children by Oscar Wilde first published in May 1888. It contains five stories: "The Happy Prince", "The Nightingale and the Rose", "The Selfish Giant", "The Devoted Friend", and "The Remarkable Rocket". The Happy Prince: In a town where a lot of poor people suffer and where there are a lot of miseries, a swallow who was left behind after his flock flew off to Egypt for the winter, meets the statue of the late "Happy Prince," who in reality has never experienced true sorrow, for he lived in a palace where sorrow was not allowed to enter. Viewing various scenes of people suffering in poverty from his tall monument, the Happy Prince asks the swallow to take the ruby from his hilt, the sapphires from his eyes, and the golden leaf covering his body to give to the poor. As the winter comes and the Happy Prince is stripped of all of his beauty, his lead heart breaks when the swallow dies as a result of his selfless deeds and severe cold. The statue is then brought down from the pillar and melted in a furnace leaving behind the broken heart and the dead swallow and they are thrown in a dust heap. These are taken up to heaven by an angel that has deemed them the two most precious things in the city. This is affirmed by God and they live forever in his city of gold and garden of paradise.... تاریخ نخستین خوانش: روز دهم ماه مارس سال 1971میلادی عنوان: شاهزاده خوشبخت؛ نویسنده: اسکار وایلد؛ مترجم: حمید حقیقت جو؛ مشخصات نشر تهران، سازمان کتابهای پرنده آبی، 1344، در 169ص، اندازه 16س.م در 11/5س.م، موضوع افسانه های پریان از نویسندگان بریتانیایی - سده 19م پنج داستان کوتاه است، و شش قطعه ی ادبی منثور، نوشته ی «اسکار وایلد»، شاعر و نویسنده ی «ایرلندی»، که برای گروه سنی نوجوانان، و جوانان ترجمه شده است، زندگی‌نامه ی «وایلد» نیز، در ابتدای کتاب آرمیده است؛ «شاهزاده خوشبخت»، شاهزاده‌ی خوشبخت که زندگی اشرافی دارد در جوانی می‌میرد و روحش در مجسمه‌ ای یاقوت‌ نشان که با طلا پوشانده شده ساکن می‌شود؛ شاهزاده‌ ی خوشبخت از جایگاهی که بر فراز شهر دارد فقر و بدبختی و نامیدی شهرش را می‌بیند؛ این داستان از خودگذشتگی و قربانی شدن او برای مردم شهر است. مجسمه ی طلایی زیبای شاهزاده‌ که بر فراز شهر ایستاده، و پرستوی عاشقی، که به خاطر علاقه به یک نی، از کوچ به سرزمین «مصر»، برای گذران زمستان، جا مانده، به سراغ مجسمه ی شاهزاده می‌آید؛ شاهزاده، که از بالا، فقر و فلاکت مردمان شهر را، می‌بیند، به یاری همین پرستو؛ نخست، سه یاقوت (شمشیر و دوچشم خویش)، و سپس ورقه‌ هایی از طلای مجسمه‌ ی خویش را، به دست نیازمندان شهر می‌رساند؛ با تمام شدن طلاهای مجسمه، نخستین برف می‌بارد، و پرستو، که دیگر رمقی، و فرصتی برای کوچ به «مصر» ندارد، در پای مجسمه ی شاهزاده، جان می‌سپازد، و با اینکار ...؛ الی آخر؛ داستان‌های دیگر: «ماهیگیر و روح او»، «دوست صمیمی»، «بلبل و گل سرخ»، و «غول خودخواه»، هستند؛ باقی شادمانیهای خوانش همین کتاب است؛ همراه با شادمانیهای دلگشای خوانش تاریخ بهنگام رسانی 28/09/1399هجری خورشیدی؛ ا. شربیانی

Review # 2 was written on 2016-11-01 00:00:00 Charlie Victor "I like to do all the talking myself. It saves time, and prevents arguments." These are a lot like Andersen's tales - fairy-tale kind of prose, talking objects, often with sad elements and sad endings. Add to it, Wilde's popular witticisms. The Rose and Nightingale is one of the most beautiful stories I have read. "I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying." "Life is one fool thing after another whereas love is two fool things after each other." "I hate people who talk about themselves, as you do, when one wants to talk about oneself, as I do. " "He must have a truly romantic nature, for he weeps when there is nothing at all to weep about." "I like hearing myself talk. It is one of my greatest pleasures. I often have long conversations all by myself," "What is a sensitive person?" said the Cracker to the Roman Candle. "A person who, because he has corns himself, always treads on other people's toes," answered the Roman Candle in a low whisper; and the Cracker nearly exploded with laughter."
