Doch hat Dorian Grey nicht mit den Folgen der Erfüllung seines Wunsches nach ewiger Schönheit gerechnet.

Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde (1854 - 1900) was an Irish writer and poet. After writing in different forms throughout the 1880s, he became one of London's most popular playwrights in the early 1890s. Today he is remembered for his epigrams and plays, and the circumstances of his imprisonment which was followed by his early death. At the turn of the 1890s, he refined his ideas about the supremacy of art in a series of dialogues and essays, and incorporated themes of decadence, duplicity, and beauty into his only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890). The opportunity to construct aesthetic details precisely, and combine them with larger social themes, drew Wilde to write drama. He wrote Salome (1891) in French in Paris but it was refused a licence. Unperturbed, Wilde produced four society comedies in the early 1890s, which made him one of the most successful playwrights of late Victorian London. At the height of his fame and success, while his masterpiece, The Importance of Being Earnest (1895), was still on stage in London, Wilde had the Marquess of Queensberry, the father of his lover, Lord Alfred Douglas, prosecuted for libel, a charge carrying a penalty of up to two years in prison. The trial unearthed evidence that caused Wilde to drop his charges and led to his own arrest and trial for gross indecency with other men. After two more trials he was convicted and imprisoned for two years' hard labour. In 1897, in prison, he wrote De Profundis which was published in 1905, a long letter which discusses his spiritual journey through his trials, forming a dark counterpoint to his earlier philosophy of pleasure. Upon his release he left immediately for France, never to return to Ireland or Britain. There he wrote his last work, The Ballad of Reading Gaol (1898), a long poem commemorating the harsh rhythms of prison life. He died destitute in Paris at the age of forty-six.

Synopsis en quatrième de couvertureOscar Wilde fut le maître de l'insulte raffinée si parfaite que la victime était souvent fière d'en être la cible. Ses traits cinglants n'ont rien perdu de leur causticité d'origine.Les coups qu'il porte a l'hypocrisie, a la prétention, aux convenances ennuyeuses font encore éclater les baudruches verbeuses.

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.

BnF collection ebooks - "Un après-midi, j'étais assis à la terrasse du café de la Paix, contemplant la splendeur et les dessous de la vie parisienne. Tout en prenant mon vermouth, j'étudiais avec curiosité l'étrange panorama où l'orgueil et la pauvreté défilaient devant moi, quand je m'entendis appeler par mon nom."

Le Sphinx qui n'a pas de secret

The Importance of Being Earnest, A Trivial Comedy for Serious People is a play by Oscar Wilde. First performed on 14 February 1895 at the St James's Theatre in London, it is a farcical comedy in which the protagonists maintain fictitious personæ to escape burdensome social obligations. Working within the social conventions of late Victorian London, the play's major themes are the triviality with which it treats institutions as serious as marriage, and the resulting satire of Victorian ways. Contemporary reviews all praised the play's humour, though some were cautious about its explicit lack of social messages, while others foresaw the modern consensus that it was the culmination of Wilde's artistic career so far. Its high farce and witty dialogue have helped make The Importance of Being Earnest Wilde's most enduringly popular play.
