Everyone who knows something about foreign literature will be familiar with the name Oscar Wilde. Born in Dublin, he was an Irish writer, poet, playwright, advocate of the British aestheticism art movement, the main force of the aesthetic movement in the 1880s and the pioneer of the decadent movement in the 1990s. This set of books is a collection of Oscar Wilde's fairy tales. It is the original English version and should not be missed by English lovers. "Pomegranate House" is also called "Pomegranate House", including "The Young King", "The Birthday of the Spanish Princess", "The Fisherman and His Soul" and "Star Child". Wilde adopts the genre of fairy tales and uses fairy tales as "masks" to expose and criticize the ugliness and cruelty of real society. This is the most important feature of its fairy tales and also the important value of its fairy tales. Most of the themes of Oscar Wilde's fairy tales reveal the cruelty and ugliness of the world, ending with a cruel tragedy in which good deeds are not rewarded. The work has a distinct anti-traditional fairy tale theme. He strives to make people understand the cruel and desolate reality of the world through the tragic ending of good deeds not being rewarded. He replaces the moral education theme of traditional fairy tales of "good will be rewarded with good and evil will be punished with evil" with satire and criticism of the ugliness in cold reality.

In this book, in order to achieve a realistic effect, Defoe took the trouble to describe specific communities, streets, and even which houses were affected by the epidemic in detail. In addition, the work also provides a table of casualty figures and discusses the credibility of various records and anecdotes. Defoe's account, although fictional, is more detailed and systematic. The work was first published in 1722, and its influence is second only to "Robinson Crusoe". Defoe wrote about the occurrence and spread of the plague, the terror and panic it caused, as well as the number of deaths and the situation of escaping the epidemic, as if he was actually there. At that time, the plague was prevalent in Marseille, France, which attracted special attention. It can be said that Defoe's works satisfied the citizens' curiosity about the plague. Defoe had a deep understanding of the characters he described, and he was good at writing about individuals overcoming difficulties in adverse circumstances. His protagonist is intelligent, full of energy, does not believe in destiny, and believes in "common sense." The plot structure leaves no trace of chiseling. Defoe is particularly good at describing the environment with realistic details and fictional situations that make people feel like they are actually there.
