"L'anniversaire de l'infante" (The Birthday of the Infanta) is a poignant short story by the renowned Irish author Oscar Wilde. First published in 1891 as part of his collection "A House of Pomegranates," the tale is a striking example of Wilde's flair for blending fairy-tale elements with deep social and moral commentary. The story revolves around the twelfth birthday celebration of an infanta, a young Spanish princess, and the tragic events that unfold during the festivities.

The narrative begins with a lavish description of the royal court's preparations for the infanta's birthday. The young princess is the center of attention, surrounded by opulence and adoration. Among the various entertainments arranged for her is a performance by a grotesque dwarf, who is brought to the palace to amuse the infanta and her guests. The dwarf, unaware of his own physical deformities, performs with genuine joy and innocence, believing that his audience is genuinely appreciative of his talents.

However, the story takes a dark turn when the dwarf, emboldened by what he perceives as the infanta's affection, discovers his own reflection in a mirror for the first time. The realization of his appearance and the cruel laughter of the court shatter his spirit, leading to a heart-wrenching conclusion. The infanta, oblivious to the depth of the dwarf's suffering, dismisses his death as a minor inconvenience, highlighting the stark contrast between her sheltered existence and the harsh realities faced by those outside her privileged world.

"L'anniversaire de l'infante" is often interpreted as a critique of the superficiality and callousness of the aristocracy, as well as a meditation on beauty, innocence, and the human condition. Wilde's masterful use of language and his ability to evoke deep emotional responses make this story a compelling and enduring piece of literature.
