Le Fantôme de Canterville Suivi de le Prince Heureux, le Geant Egoïste et Autres Contes

When Lady Windermere begins to suspect her husband of infidelity, she confronts him, accusing him of having an affair with a woman known as Mrs. Erlynne. Lord Windermere denies her accusations, but the true identity of Mrs. Erlynne is even more shocking than Lady Windermere expects. Lady Windermere's Fan has become one of Oscar Wilde's most well-known plays, and is the origin of the famous literary quote, "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." It has been adapted several times for film, most recently for the 2009 film A Good Woman, starring Helen Hunt and Scarlett Johansson.

A Woman Of No Importance

Chaque après-midi, en rentrant de l'école, les enfants avaient pris l'habitude d'aller jouer dans le jardin du Géant. C'était un grand et ravissant jardin avec une douce herbe verte. 

Çà et là, sur l'herbe, miroitaient de belles fleurs qui ressemblaient à des étoiles, et il y avait douze pêchers qui, au printemps, s'épanouissaient en délicates floraisons couleur de rose et de perle, et, en automne, portaient des fruits magnifiques. Les oiseaux, assis sur les arbres, chantaient si joliment que les enfants s'arrêtaient de jouer pour les écouter. "Comme nous sommes heureux ici !" s'écriaient-ils.

Le géant égoïste

This   carefully crafted ebook: "Teleny, or The Reverse of the Medal (A Gay Erotica   Classic attributed to Oscar Wilde)" is formatted for your eReader with a   functional and detailed table of contents.
Teleny  is a pornographic novel,   first published in London in 1893. The authorship of the work is unknown.   There is a general consensus that it was an ensemble effort, but it has often   been attributed to Oscar Wilde. Set in fin-de-siècle Paris, its concerns are   the magnetic attraction and passionate though ultimately tragic affair   between a young Frenchman named Camille de Grieux and the Hungarian pianist   René Teleny. The novel is significant as one of the earliest pieces of   English-language pornography to explicitly and near-exclusively concern   homosexuality; as well as for a lush and literate, though variable prose   style - and a relative complexity and depth of character and plot development   - that give it as much in common with the Aesthetic fiction of the period as   with its typical pornography.
Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900) is a central figure in aesthetic writing. Wilde   was a poet, fiction writer, essayist and editor. Oscar Wilde is often seen as   a homosexual icon although as many men of his day he was also a husband and   father. Wilde's life ended at odds with Victorian morals that surrounded him.   He died in exile.

Teleny, or The Reverse of the Medal (A Gay Erotica Classic attributed to Oscar Wilde)

High above the city, on a tall column, stood the statue of the Happy Prince. He was gilded all over with thin leaves of fine gold, for eyes he had two bright sapphires, and a large red ruby glowed on his sword-hilt.

He was very much admired indeed. "He is as beautiful as a weathercock, " remarked one of the Town Councillors who wished to gain a reputation for having artistic tastes; "only not quite so useful, " he added, fearing lest people should think him unpractical, which he really was not.

"Why can't you be like the Happy Prince?" asked a sensible mother of her little boy who was crying for the moon. "The Happy Prince never dreams of crying for anything."

"I am glad there is some one in the world who is quite happy, " muttered a disappointed man as he gazed at the wonderful statue.

The Happy Prince

Written in his distinctively dazzling manner, Oscar Wilde’s story of a fashionable young man who sells his soul for eternal youth and beauty is the author’s most popular work. The tale of Dorian Gray’s moral disintegration caused a scandal when it ﬁrst appeared in 1890, but though Wilde was attacked for the novel’s corrupting inﬂuence, he responded that there is, in fact, “a terrible moral in Dorian Gray.” Just a few years later, the book and the aesthetic/moral dilemma it presented became issues in the trials occasioned by Wilde’s homosexual liaisons, which resulted in his imprisonment. Of Dorian Gray’s relationship to autobiography, Wilde noted in a letter, “Basil Hallward is what I think I am: Lord Henry what the world thinks me: Dorian what I would like to be—in other ages, perhaps.
