Summary: "Il fantasma di Canterville e il delitto di Lord Savile" by Oscar Wilde is a humorous novella written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the Otis family, who purchase the haunted Canterville Chase, unaware of the ghostly presence that lives there. Wilde weaves elements of comedy and the supernatural together, exploring themes of American optimism versus British tradition. The opening of the novella introduces the Otis family as they arrive at their newly acquired property, with the previous owner, Lord Canterville, cautioning them about the ghost that haunts the castle. Unfazed by the warnings, the American family, particularly the minister, Mr. Otis, expresses skepticism about the existence of ghosts. The narrative sets a whimsical tone as the family encounters the ghost, asserting a contrast between their modern sensibilities and the ghost's historical background, while hints of humor and irony emerge as they deal with supernatural occurrences in a refreshingly nonchalant manner.
