In deutscher und englischer Sprache: Die berühmte Geschichte von Oscar Wilde eignet sich ausgezeichnet, um unterhaltsam vorhandene Englischkenntnisse aufzufrischen und zu erweitern. Eine reiche amerikanische Familie erwirbt trotz Warnung der Vorbesitzer vor dem Hausgespenst das englische Schloss Canterville. Der aristokratische Geist wird von den neuen Besitzern des Anwesens zur Verzweiflung gebracht. Mit blutigen Flecken am Boden vor dem Kamin und einer Abfolge von unheimlichen Geräuschen hat das Gespenst von Canterville sich über Hunderte von Jahren Respekt verschaffen können und die Bewohner des Schlosses in Angst und Schrecken versetzt. Doch die Amerikaner lassen sich nicht davon beeindrucken ... Oscar Wilde begründete mit seinem ersten Werk "Das Gespenst von Canterville" / "The Canterville Ghost" seinen bis heute andauernden literarischen Ruhm.

The Canterville Ghost is a short story by Oscar Wilde. It was the first of Wilde's stories to be published, appearing in two parts 23 February and 2 March 1887. The story is about an American family who move to a castle haunted by the ghost of a dead nobleman, who killed his wife and was starved to death by his wife's brothers. The story begins when the American Minister Mr Otis and his family move into Canterville Chase, despite warnings from Lord Canterville that the house is haunted. Mr Otis says that he will take the furniture as well as the ghost at valuation. The Otis family includes Mr and Mrs Otis, their eldest son Washington, their daughter Virginia, and the Otis twins. The other characters include the Canterville Ghost, the Duke of Cheshire Mrs Umney and Rev Augustus Dampier. At first, none of the Otis family believe in ghosts, but shortly after they move in, none of them can deny the presence of Sir Simon de Canterville. The family hears clanking chains, they witness reappearing bloodstains on the floor just by the fireplace, which are removed every time they appear in various forms. But, humorously, none of these scare the Otis family in the least. In fact, upon hearing the clanking noises in the hallway, Mr Otis promptly gets out of bed and pragmatically offers the ghost Tammany Rising Sun Lubricator to oil his chains.

"The Canterville Ghost" begins with the sale of an old British mansion called Canterville Chase to Horace B. Otis, an American minister. Though the former owner, Lord Canterville, warns Mr. Otis that the mansion is haunted, Mr. Otis is not worried and replies that ghosts do not exist. Soon after, Mr. Otis moves into the Chase with the rest of his family: his wife, Lucretia; his eldest son, Washington; his fifteen-year-old daughter, Virginia; and his two young twin boys. Upon moving in, Mrs. Otis notices a dull red stain on the floor and requests that it be cleaned. Their housekeeper reveals that it is a bloodstain from the murder of Lady Eleanore de Canterville, who was killed in 1575 by her husband, Sir Simon de Canterville, and that it cannot be removed. She warns Mrs. Otis that Sir Simon's guilty ghost still haunts Canterville Chase. Dismissing the housekeeper's story as nonsense, Washington quickly pulls out a container of Pinkerton's Champion Stain Remover, scrubbing it onto the spot until the stain is gone. As soon as the stain is removed, lightning flashes, and a peal of thunder rocks the house. The housekeeper faints in terror. The next morning, the Otises find that the stain has mysteriously returned. For the next few days, they routinely clean the stain only to see it reappear the next morning. Intrigued, the Otis family decides that the house is, in fact, haunted. A few nights later, Mr. Otis is awakened in the middle of the night by a clanking noise. Venturing into the hallway, he encounters the ghost of Sir Simon. Rather than being frightened by Sir Simon's glowing red eyes, matted hair, and rusty manacles, Mr. Otis politely insists that the ghost oil his chains and gives him a bottle of Tammany Rising Sun Lubricator for this purpose. Utterly humiliated, Sir Simon retreats down the hallway until he encounters the twins, who throw pillows at his head. Returning to his chamber, Sir Simon remembers his long and successful career as a ghost, fuming that never in three hundred years of haunting maids and guests has he been so insulted. Determined to scare these "wretched modern Americans," Sir Simon stays up all night plotting his revenge. Though the bloodstain remains, the Otises humorously note that it is changing in color on a daily basis. Virginia Otis, however, does not find the changing stain amusing and appears inexplicably distressed by it. One day, the family discovers Sir Simon in an embarrassing position: he has fallen over while trying to put on a suit of armor. The twins shoot at him with pea shooters and when Sir Simon tries to scare the family with his most evil laugh, Mrs. Otis adds insult to injury by suggesting that he may be suffering from indigestion. For several days afterward, Sir Simon is ill and keeps mostly to his room. Soon, however, he resolves to make a third attempt at scaring the Otises and picks out a suitably terrifying outfit. As he makes his way to Washington's room, however, he is stopped by the twins, who are disguised as a ghost. Believing them to be a real ghost, Sir Simon flees in utter terror. Depressed, Sir Simon retreats from his ghostly duties, deciding not to replace the bloodstain and...

He tells her that he has not slept in three hundred years and wants desperately to do so. The ghost reveals to Virginia the tragic tale of his wife, Lady Eleanor de Canterville. Sir Simon de Canterville says that she must weep for him, for he has no tears; she must pray for him, for he has no faith; and then she must accompany him to the angel of death and beg for Death's mercy upon Sir Simon. She does weep for him and pray for him, and she disappears with Sir Simon through the wainscoting and goes with him to the Garden of Death and bids the ghost farewell.Bilinguale Ausgabe Englisch und Deutsch. Der amerikanische Botschafter Hiram B. Otis zieht mit seiner Familie in das Schloss Canterville ein, das er trotz der Warnungen vor dem Gespenst Sir Simon de Canterville gekauft hat. Kurz nach dem Einzug geschehen merkw�rdige Dinge, aber die pragmatische amerikanische Familie l�sst sich nicht einsch�chtern und ist vollkommen unbeeindruckt. Auch ein sich immer wieder erneuernder Blutfleck auf dem Fu�boden und Donnerschl�ge zu den ung�nstigsten Zeitpunkten k�nnen die Familie nicht erschrecken. Stattdessen k�mpft sie gegen jegliche Spukversuche des spukenden Sir Simon" mit modernen Hilfsmitteln an. Eines Tages betritt die Tochter Virginia einen Raum im Schloss und trifft dort das Gespenst. Im Laufe der Unterhaltung erf�hrt Virginia, dass das Gespenst erl�st werden will und seine letzte Ruhe finden will. Das mutige M�dchen hilft dem Gespenst dabei und erh�lt von diesem vorher als Belohnung ein K�stchen mit wertvollem Schmuck.
