Más información sobre el libro
In a town plagued by poverty and suffering, a swallow, left behind by his flock, encounters the statue of the Happy Prince. Though he once lived in luxury, the Prince has never known true sorrow. From his lofty perch, he witnesses the plight of the poor and implores the swallow to take the ruby from his hilt, the sapphires from his eyes, and the gold leaf that adorns him to aid those in need. As winter descends, the Prince is stripped of his beauty, and his lead heart shatters when the swallow succumbs to the cold after selflessly helping others. The statue is ultimately removed and melted down, leaving behind the broken heart and the lifeless swallow, which are discarded. However, an angel recognizes their worth and carries them to heaven, where God affirms their value. They are granted eternal life in a celestial realm, celebrated for their acts of love and sacrifice.
