Der Roman gilt als Oscar Wildes Prosahauptwerk. Themen sind die Moralitat von Sinnlichkeit und Hedonismus im Viktorianismus und die Dekadenz der englischen Oberschicht. -The Picture of Dorian Gray is the only novel written by the playwright Oscar Wilde. When Dorian Gray meets Lord Wotton, he soon is enthralled by the aristocrats hedonistic worldview; that beauty and sensual fulfilment are the only things worth pursuing in life. Understanding that his beauty will fade, Dorian expresses the desire to sell his soul, to ensure that the picture, rather than he, will age and fade.

Staged in 1893, when Wilde had already achieved fame, wealth and notoriety, A Woman of No Importance was another attempt to fuse comedy of manners with high melodrama. Gerald Arbuthnot is a young man on the make, with an American heiress and the post of secretary to the brilliant but dissolute Lord Illingworth within his reach. When he asks his mother to celebrate with them, it turns out that Illingworth is Gerald's father, who seduced and abandoned his mother twenty years earlier. Loyalty weighs heavier than ambition, and Gerald declines the association with Illingworth. This edition, which also analyses Wilde's various drafts and revisions of the play, argues that the playwright here continued to explore the rivalry between an older man and woman for the affection of a beautiful young man.

The Picture of Dorian Gray is a Gothic and philosophical novel by Oscar Wilde, first published complete in the July 1890 issue of Lippincotts Monthly Magazine. Fearing the story was indecent, the magazines editor deleted roughly five hundred words before publication without Wildes knowledge. Despite that censorship, The Picture of Dorian Gray offended the moral sensibilities of British book reviewers, some of whom said that Oscar Wilde merited prosecution for violating the laws guarding public morality. In response, Wilde aggressively defended his novel and art in correspondence with the British press, although he personally made excisions of some of the most controversial material when revising and lengthening the story for book publication the following year.

Una familia estadounidense se va a vivir al castillo de Canterville en Inglaterra. Lord Canterville, el dueño anterior, les advierte que el fantasma de sir Simon de Canterville deambula en el edificio desde hace 300 años cuando asesino a su esposa lady Eleonore de Canterville. Pero el Sr. Otis, estadounidense moderno y practico, ignora las advertencias. Asi, con su esposa Lucrecia, su hija Virginia, los gemelos Estrellas y Rayas y su hijo Washington, se mudan a la mansion en donde el fantasma se les presenta en varias ocasiones, pero no logra asustarlos, sino que, de una manera hilarante se convierte en la victima de las bromas de la familia. Virginia, consciente de lo que sucede, se apena y al final ayuda al fantasma a conseguir paz en la muerte.

Dorian Gray, un giovane di straordinaria bellezza, si e 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 piu sfrenati, mantenendo intatta la freschezza e la perfezione del suo viso. Poiche 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 e 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. Introduzione di Franco Marenco.

This carefully crafted ebook: "The Picture of Dorian Gray: The Uncensored 13 Chapter Version + The Revised 20 Chapter Version" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. The Picture of Dorian Gray, the only novel by Oscar Wilde, was first published in 1890. A substantially revised and expanded edition was published in April 1891. For the new edition, Wilde revised the content of the novels existing chapters, divided the final chapter into two chapters, and created six entirely new additional chapters. Whereas the original edition of the novel contains 13 chapters, the revised edition of the novel contains 20 chapters. The 1891 version was expanded from 13 to 20 chapters, but also toned down, particularly in some of its overt homoerotic aspects. Also, chapters 3, 5, and 15 to 18 are entirely new in the 1891 version, and chapter 13 from the first edition is split in two (becoming chapters 19 and 20). The novel tells of a young man named Dorian Gray, the subject of a painting by artist Basil Hallward. Dorian is selected for his remarkable physical beauty, and Basil becomes strongly infatuated with Dorian, believing that his beauty is responsible for a new mode of art. The Picture of Dorian Gray is considered one of the last works of classic gothic horror fiction with a strong Faustian theme. It deals with the artistic movement of the decadents, and homosexuality, both of which caused some controversy when the book was first published. However, in modern times, the book has been referred to as "one of the modern classics of Western literature. Oscar Wills Wilde (1854 1900) was an Irish writer and poet. After writing in different forms throughout the 1880s, he became one of Londons most popular playwrights in the early 1890s. Today he is remembered for his epigrams, his only novel (The Picture of Dorian Gray), his plays and poetry, and the circumstances of his imprisonment and early death.

This carefully crafted ebook: "The Journalism of Oscar Wilde" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents.

Uniquely witty, intellectually acute, and socially aware Wildes journalism not only displays the extensive reading and stylistic experimentation that prepared the way for his major works of the 1890s, it provides an essential record of the vibrant and rapidly changing journalistic culture in which he played a major part.

Wildes life ended at odds with Victorian morals that surrounded him. He died in exile.

Commedia teatrale in tre atti, fu portata in scena per la prima volta a Londra nellinverno del 1895. Il titolo italiano non rende lidea dellarguzia e della capacita di Wilde di giocare con i significati delle parole: nelloriginale The importance of being Ernest ce un doppio significato nella parola Ernest (che e nome proprio ma, anche, earnest, onesto, che si pronuncia allo stesso modo). È il modo che un autore geniale trova per mettere in risalto la cura che lalta societa vittoriana riservava al proprio modo di apparire. Allepoca questopera non fu compresa per intero, ma con il tempo e il successo in tutti i teatri del mondo ha ottenuto il riconoscimento di pietra miliare nel teatro dellassurdo, del quale precorre in maniera sorprendente i tempi. È in effetti un geniale e spassoso nonsense, ricco di spensieratezza e felicita, con un Wilde al massimo della propria vena produttiva subito prima di andare incontro alla propria rovina. Un capolavoro arricchito dallo stile suadente di una maestro della letteratura britannica.
