Ballade De La Geole

Le Déclin du mensonge

La plupart des romanciers russes regardent le roman historique comme un faux genre, comme une sorte de bal travesti littéraire, comme une simple représentation de marionnetes, et non comme une peinture vraie de la vie.

Pourtant, l'histoire de la Russie abonde en scènes et en situations si extraordinaires que nous voyons sans surprise, en dépit des dogmes de l'école naturaliste, M. Stephen Coleridge prendre pour cadre de son étrange récit la Russie du seizième siècle.

Fruit d'une sélection réalisée au sein des fonds de la Bibliothèque nationale de France, Collection XIX a pour ambition de faire découvrir des textes classiques et moins classiques dans les meilleures éditions du XIXe siècle.

Le Portrait de Dorian Gray et Salomé (1891) sont les deux œuvres magistrales d’Oscar Wilde. La première est un roman adapté plusieurs fois pour les petits et grands écrans. La seconde est une pièce de théâtre écrite en français puis traduite en anglais. Sarah Bernhardt devait en interpréter le premier rôle à Londres avant qu’elle ne fût interdite. Comme l’ensemble de l’œuvre de Wilde, ces deux œuvres ont fait scandale dans la très puritaine société victorienne.

Le Portrait de Dorian Gray & Salomé

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.

La Maison Des Grenades: Contes

This   carefully crafted ebook: "Teleny: a pornographic novel attributed to Oscar   Wilde" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of   contents.
Teleny is an authorless and explicitly homoerotic novel often attributed to   Oscar Wilde. It is an important antithesis to the prudish idealism of the   neo-classic and neo-romantic lyric love poetry of the end of the century. It   is a work of unmasking the cynical double moral standards of the Victorian   era: The love of Camille and Teleny is shattered by social reprisals. The   book was published in 1893 in 200 copies by Leonard Smithers who praised it   as being "the most powerful and cleverly written erotic romance which   has appeared in the English language" during that era".
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.
