Dorian Gray offers wit, sexual encounters and is clearly a classic to last the ages. What would you do if you could stay young forever? If you were given virtually infinite amounts of wealth? If you became completely self-indulged never thinking about the world and people around you? If living to seek out your desires and pleasures was your sole aim? Oscar Wilde explores these thoughts in this classic book, where a man never ages and a painting reflects all of his sins. ( ) sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
A pivotal figure in nineteenth-century literature, Oscar Wilde was a multitalented and multifaceted writer. His large and diverse body of work includes immensely popular stage plays, the highly regarded novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, several collections of exquisitively crafted short fiction, critical essays that influenced how the world looks at art, and elegant verse. This 2012 leatherbound omnibus edition of Wilde's writing collects the full contents of his short-fiction collection Lord Arthur Savile's Crime and Other Stories, and his two collections of fairy tales for young readers, The Happy Prince and Other Tales and A House of Pomegranates. Also included is The Picture of Dorian Gray, a novel that scandalised Victorian England when it was published in 1891 and that has since been acknowledged a brilliant commentary on art and the society depicted in it. The volume concludes with all nine stage plays that Wilde finished in his lifetime, among them the masterpieces of wit and comedy, "The Importance of Being Earnest" and "An Ideal Husband". Decorative, durable, and collectible, this book offers hours of reading pleasure and is an indispensible cornerstone for any home library. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
