A proposito di questo titolo
On the night of a royal wedding, the sky is set to blaze with celebration—but one firework has far grander expectations than the rest.
In The Remarkable Rocket, Oscar Wilde delivers a brilliantly witty and satirical tale of vanity, self-importance, and misplaced ambition. As the fireworks gather in the King’s garden, each prepares for their moment of glory. Yet none is more convinced of his own greatness than the Rocket—an absurdly proud and overly emotional figure who believes the entire celebration exists in his honor.
Through sharp dialogue and playful irony, Wilde crafts a timeless story that gently mocks ego and highlights the gap between perception and reality. What unfolds is both humorous and quietly revealing, as the Rocket’s long-awaited moment arrives… with unexpected results.
Narrated with charm and nuance by Mike Polischuk, this classic short story is a delightful blend of elegance, humor, and insight—perfect for listeners who appreciate Wilde’s signature wit and enduring social commentary.
