"The Remarkable Rocket" by Oscar Wilde

January 29
28 mins

Episode Description

The Remarkable Rocket is one of Oscar Wilde’s most biting and humorous fairy tales—a sharp satire disguised as a children’s story. Through the absurd self-importance of a single firework, Wilde exposes vanity, entitlement, and the danger of confusing self-admiration with true greatness.


In this episode of Chamber of Classics, enjoy a complete reading of Wilde’s clever and ironic tale, presented without commentary so the language, wit, and moral resonance can shine on their own.


Perfect for lovers of classic literature, short stories, and timeless satire.
