Classic Tales of Oscar Wilde

Wilde Oscar, 2012

This is a beautifully bound gift edition of these haunting and beautiful stories. And the Giant's heart melted as he looked out. 'How selfish I have been!' he said; '...I will knock down the wall, and my garden shall be the children's playground for ever and ever'. The five stories in his collection for children show Wilde at his best; moving, witty and wise. In The Happy Prince , a grand but lonely statue recruits a swallow to help him give to people in need; In The Nightingale and the Rose, a small bird makes a great sacrifice for love; The Selfish Giant is a beautiful story of the triumph of kindness; The Devoted Friend is a morality tale told to a pompous water rat; and The Remarkable Rocket charts the rise and fall of a particularly arrogant firework at a royal wedding.

De Profundis

Wilde Oscar, 2011

Oscar Wilde wrote I don't defend my conduct, I explain it, when he was imprisoned in Reading Gaol in 1895 for his violation of England's stringent laws against homosexuality. Wilde's nototious liaison with the Marquess of Queensberry's son, Lord Alfred Douglas (Bosie), had so inflamed the Marquess that he made public attacks on Wilde's character and morals. In return, Wilde sued for slader, an action which, to Wilde's bitter astonishment, led to a series of scandalous trials and convictions. From his cell in prison, Oscar Wilde wrote De Profundis, the detailed and unsparing revelation of his love and tragedy. Подробнее

Il ritratto di Dorian Gray

Wilde Oscar, 2009

Il pittore Basil Hallward ha ritratto il giovane Dorian Gray, di eccezionale fascino. Questi, ossessionato dall'idea di invecchiare e perdere la sua avvenenza ottiene, grazie a un sortilegio, che ogni segno che il passare del tempo e i vizi potrebbero lasciare sul suo viso compaiano solo sul ritratto. Avido di piaceri e sregolatezze, si abbandona agli eccessi e ai delitti più sfrenati senza che nulla del suo splendore vada perduto. Il volto del ritratto si trasforma così nell'atto di accusa più spietato per Dorian che, al colmo della disperazione, lo squarcia con una pugnalata. Ma è lui a cadere morto. Le fattezze del ritratto tornano quelle del giovane puro di un tempo, mentre a terra giace un vecchio ripugnante. Подробнее

Il ritratto di Dorian Gray

Wilde Oscar, 2013

Dorian Gray, un giovane di straordinaria bellezza, si è fatto fare un ritratto da un pittore. Ossessionato dalla paura della vecchiaia, ottiene, con un sortilegio, che ogni segno che il tempo dovrebbe lasciare sul suo viso, compaia invece solo sul ritratto. Avido di piacere, si abbandona agli eccessi più sfrenati, mantenendo intatta la freschezza e la perfezione del suo viso. Poiché Hallward, il pittore, gli rimprovera tanta vergogna, lo uccide. A questo punto il ritratto diventa per Dorian un atto d'accusa e in un impeto di disperazione lo squarcia con una pugnalata. Ma è lui a cadere morto: il ritratto torna a raffigurare il giovane bello e puro di un tempo e a terra giace un vecchio segnato dal vizio. Prefazione di Aldo Busi. Подробнее

Il ritratto di Dorian Gray

Wilde Oscar, 2013

Certi libri vanno letti al momento giusto, cioè da giovani. «Il ritratto di Dorian Gray» è uno di questi, e lo è per due motivi: perché offre il primo assaggio della corruzione; e perché mette alla prova, inscena una tentazione che vale per un'età, e una soltanto. Dopo, sarebbe una sfida troppo facile, e anzi verrebbe da desiderare, cercare, rincorrere una proposta simile, e anche i suoi effetti collaterali. Può un libro rappresentare una tentazione e portare alla rovina? La risposta è in questo stesso romanzo. Il volume è corredato da esclusivi contenuti extra, spunti e approfondimenti nella cultura contemporanea: film e serie TV, musica, arte, libri, fumetti e graphic novel. Подробнее

Il ritratto di Dorian Gray

Wilde Oscar, 2005

»Sempre più Dorian Gray si innamorava della sua stessa bellezza, con sempre maggiore interesse seguiva il corrompersi della sua anima...» fino a uccidere la sua immagine e se stesso. Sinistra vicenda di magie, delitti e sdoppiamenti di personalità, «Il ritratto di Dorian Gray» non è solamente un romanzo dell'orrore e una profonda riflessione sul tema filosofico del doppio, ma il vero e proprio breviario del decadentismo e dell'estetismo fin-de-siècle.

El nino Estrella

Wilde Oscar, 2013

El nino estrella cuenta la misteriosa aparicion en un bosque nevado de un nino caido del cielo, que revolucionara la aldea de lenadores que lo acogen.

Das Bildnis des Dorian Gray

Wilde Oscar, 2012

Oscar Wildes Dorian Gray ist eine der berühmtesten Figuren der Weltliteratur: So stauneswert schön er ist, so unverdorben und naiv ist sein Blick auf die Welt. Verführt durch den geistreichen Zyniker Lord Wotton, stürzt Dorian sich haltlos ins lüsterne Londoner Nachtleben. Ausschweifung und Genuss wecken in ihm den innigen Wunsch nach unvergänglicher Jugend — und auf wundersame Weise altert fortan nicht mehr er selbst, sondern ein Porträt von ihm. Doch Dorians unbedachter Pakt mit dunklen Mächten hat grausame Folgen... Подробнее

Best Plays

Wilde Oscar, 2014

The social comedies, Lady Windermere's Fan, A Woman of No Importance, and An Ideal Husband offer a moving as well as witty dissection of society and its morals, with a sharp focus on sexual politics. By contrast, the experimental symbolist Salome, written originally in French and illustrated by Aubrey Beardsley, was banned for public performance by the English censor. His final dramatic triumph was his trivial comedy for serious people, The Importance of Being Earnest — probably the greatest farcical comedy in English. Подробнее

Oscar Wilde The Dover Reader

Wilde Oscar

Poet and playwright Oscar Wilde (1854–1900) wrote sparkling comedies that were the toast of London's West End in the 1890s. The master of the witty epigram who could resist anything except temptation, Wilde was imprisoned by an unjust society and died in obscurity, but his enduring works continue to enchant readers and audiences. The Irish author's only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, appears in this splendid showcase of his philosophy and wit. Additional selections include Wilde's ever-popular comedies The Importance of Being Earnest and An Ideal Husband; his essay on aestheticism, «The Decay of Lying: An Observation»; his deeply moving prison letter, «De Profundis»; and fairy tales from A House of Pomegranates and The Happy Prince.

The Complete Short Fiction

Wilde Oscar

‘He saw a most wonderful sight. Through a little hole in the wall the children had crept in … the trees were so glad to have the children back again that they had covered themselves with blossoms’ Fairy tales, ghost stories, detective fiction and comedies of manners – the stories collected in this volume made Oscar Wilde’s name as a writer of fiction, showing breathtaking dexterity in a wide range of literary styles. Victorian moral justice is comically inverted in ‘Lord Arthur Savile’s Crime’ and ‘The Canterville Ghost’, and society’s materialism comes under sharp, humorous criticism in ‘The Model Millionaire’, while ‘The Happy Prince’ and ‘The Nightingale and the Rose’ are hauntingly melancholic in their magical evocations of selfless love. These small masterpieces convey the brilliance of Wilde’s vision, exploring complex moral issues through an elegant juxtaposition of wit and sentiment. This edition includes the complete texts of Wilde’s three volumes of short fiction, together with ‘The Portrait of Mr W. H.’. Ian Small’s introduction discusses Wilde’s life, the cultural and literary background to his fiction, and the complex ways in which it can be read. Подробнее
