Produced by Juha Kiuru "Onnellinen prinssi: Ynnä muita kertomuksia" by Oscar Wilde is a collection of fairy tales written in the late 19th century. The stories explore themes of love, sacrifice, and social injustice through various characters, including a statue called the Happy Prince and a devoted little swallow. Wilde's enchanting narratives often impart moral lessons and critique societal values, making them a profound reflection on human nature. At the start of the collection, the story introduces the Happy Prince, a magnificent statue adorned with gold, sapphires, and a ruby. Although he appears beautiful to the citizens of the city, he is deeply unhappy as he sees the suffering of the people below. One evening, a little swallow that has remained behind finds solace at the statue's feet and learns of the Prince's desire to help the impoverished. The Prince asks the swallow to take his precious jewels to assist those in need, thus setting the stage for themes of selflessness, compassion and the consequences of true happiness. The opening portion skillfully sets a somber yet tender tone, encapsulating Wilde's signature blend of whimsy and seriousness. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
