The first beautiful fairy tale written for adults in the history of literature! Wilde's masterpiece that truly entered the temple of literature, and has since become the embodiment of beauty in the history of literature!
"My fairy tales are not written for children, but for adults aged 18 to 80 who have a childlike heart." - Oscar Wilde
Reader comments
The life story of Wilde at the end of the book is quite sad. He attracted attention in college because of his extraordinary conversation and gorgeous clothes, but he couldn't even afford a tombstone after his mother died. And the lover who asked him to give up everything did not love him as much as he thought, and left him after he lost all his light. I think this is also the reason why he was able to write the story "The Nightingale and the Rose". His fate was gentle and cruel to him, just like him.
——Later, when I died, they stood me up high here, allowing me to see clearly all the sadness and ugliness in the world. Although my heart has long been turned into lead, I still can't help crying.
——No matter how smart philosophy is, love is smarter; no matter how powerful power is, love is more powerful.
——You once allowed me to play here, and today you come with me to my garden, in that paradise.
——What's the use of friendship if we can't be honest with each other? Everyone can say nice things and flatter others; but a true friend dares to give harsh advice, no matter how unbearable it is.
——Romance exists forever, just like the moon is immortal.
——It's just that love has long since fallen out of favor, and poets are the executioners. They misused their pen and ink over it, and no one believed it anymore.
——The burdens in this world are too heavy for one person to bear; the sorrows in this world are too painful for one person to bear.
——The king of Spain has been married to sorrow. Although she is sterile, she is more touching than beautiful.
——Love is better than wisdom, love is more precious than wealth, love is more beautiful than girls' feet, fire cannot burn it, and water cannot drown it.
——Some people enjoy too much, while others enjoy too little. Injustice divides the world, and only sorrow is treated equally.
This is a fairy tale written for adults. As an adult, I may not be able to see the profound hints, but I was still deeply moved by the story inside.
After reading it, I only like The Nightingale's Red Rose.
I have a different opinion about the selfish giant. The garden belongs to him alone. He can share it if he wants to. It's okay if he doesn't want to. I don't understand it very well. Maybe I'm still a kid at heart, so I can't understand the specific meaning the author wants to express. I'm just stupid.
The arrogant rocket, the cheap friendship that only allows one-sided giving and lip service, the face of the little princess mocking the "ugly" people, and the ungrateful and humble star child, are so much like the shadow of real life.
In fairy tales, there is love that is supreme, snakes as evil as scorpions, kind and lovely white rabbits, fair and just justice, and perverts who serve for money...
Go take a look, adults who love fairy tales, maybe you will get different revelations. [Praise]
I feel like fairy tales are never just for children.
The fairy tales we know are usually beautiful, romantic, full of innocence and kindness, but Wilde's "The Nightingale and the Rose" is unique. He tells the cruel and real life through fairy tales.
Love, greed, and desire are vividly described
This is a fairy tale for adults. It is very beautiful and very cruel. Wilde is always like this. Reading his stories feels like walking into one life after another.
What children see is a fairy tale, and what an adult sees is a "fairy tale".

After reading this book, I felt that the person who wrote the book must be a kind-hearted and delicate person. After reading his personal profile, I felt that this may be the case. It was precisely because his feelings were too delicate that he couldn't bear the suffering in the world, so his fragrance disappeared at such a young age. The content of the book reveals pure and beautiful kindness everywhere, but underneath the kindness there are hidden evil thoughts and sins. People always wander between goodness and sin, and they will never be at peace in their lives. This kind of struggle will accompany people throughout their lives. Goodness and evil are only separated by a layer of window paper. When evil thoughts come together, all goodness loses its meaning. Unless it is a great evil or a great good, there is no need to get angry and serious when judging others.
A very healing book
I would like to know who the translator of this version is. The translation is very good. The language is easy to understand, full of literary talent, and childlike innocence. I like this version very much.
It seems like an ordinary story, but it describes human nature
: "Love is better than wisdom, love is more precious than wealth, love is more beautiful than girls' feet, fire cannot burn, and water cannot drown. I called you at dawn, but you didn't answer; the moon heard your name, but you ignored me. I shouldn't have left you, but in the end it hurt you and me. But your love will always be with me. It is supreme and invincible - no matter whether it is evil or good. Now that you are dead, I will die with you!"
The author had a terrible experience
As expected, I love Wilde's stories whenever I read them! I remember that when I was in junior high school, I read "The Happy Prince" translated by Ba Jin and "The Nightingale and the Rose" translated by Lin Huiyin several times in the library.
Coming here because of its reputation, you can feel that the author has a rich imagination and sings about love and kindness. Some of the stories seem to have a bit of Qiong Yao's unhealthy outlook, but this may be due to his personal experience of a man cheating on his father-in-law after marriage, his own problems with his thinking, and the limitations of the times.
A very nice book. This book seems to be beautiful and beautiful, but in fact it is ugly.
A very good fairy tale, but it is not just a fairy tale.
Very good, Wilde, gentle and cruel
The author's various aspects of life are reflected in his works.
Talk about human nature in fairy tales and understand life in words.
It has the flavor of a dark fairy tale, using fictional characters to embody the master's writing skills.
The writing style of the book "The Nightingale and the Rose" is very beautiful and the writing style is also very delicate, which made me feel Wilde's talent. The stories in the book reminded me of myself, who worked hard for my dreams like the nightingale. Although the process is difficult, as long as you have faith in your heart, you will definitely gain something. This book makes me believe that everyone who works hard to pursue their dreams can find their own "rose".
The Young King is so beautiful
This book is very meaningful
If you don't read a book like this in your life, you will be really at a loss.
This is the best translated version I have ever seen. Because it was the best, I bought one later. However, the translation of that book was not even a little worse than this one. It almost made me think that I was reading two books. [Crying] [Crying] [Crying] After reviewing it, I still like it very much. The beautiful feeling is very healing. I want to memorize the sentences in it.
Oscar Wilde's writing is always fascinating
Other people's fairy tales, good things come to good people.
In Oscar Wilde's fairy tales, reality is always cruel.
A beautiful fairy tale that adults can read too
The writing is very good and the stories in the book have profound meanings. It is worth reading.
It's beautiful and beautiful. It's my favorite style. I've also seen his "The Picture of Dorian Gray"
The writing style is very good. I like his book and Wang Zengqi's book [Love]. They are worthy of being at the level of a boss.
