‘He saw a most wonderful sight. Through a little hole in the wall the children had crept in … the trees were so glad to have the children back again that they had covered themselves with blossoms’ Fairy tales, ghost stories, detective fiction and comedies of manners – the stories collected in this volume made Oscar Wilde’s name as a writer of fiction, showing breathtaking dexterity in a wide range of literary styles. Victorian moral justice is comically inverted in ‘Lord Arthur Savile’s Crime’ and ‘The Canterville Ghost’, and society’s materialism comes under sharp, humorous criticism in ‘The Model Millionaire’, while ‘The Happy Prince’ and ‘The Nightingale and the Rose’ are hauntingly melancholic in their magical evocations of selfless love. These small masterpieces convey the brilliance of Wilde’s vision, exploring complex moral issues through an elegant juxtaposition of wit and sentiment. This edition includes the complete texts of Wilde’s three volumes of short fiction, together with ‘The Portrait of Mr W. H.’. Ian Small’s introduction discusses Wilde’s life, the cultural and literary background to his fiction, and the complex ways in which it can be read.

Oscar Wilde took London by storm with his first comedy, Lady Windermere's Fan. The combination of dazzling wit, subtle social criticism, sumptuous settings and the theme of a guilty secret proved a winner, both here and in his next three plays, A Woman of No Importance, An Ideal Husband, and his undisputed masterpiece, The Importance of Being Earnest. This volume includes all Wilde's plays from his early tragedy Vera to the controversial Salome and the little known fragments, La Sainte Courtisane and A Florentine Tragedy. The edition affords a rare chance to see Wilde's best known work in the context of his entire dramatic output, and to appreciate plays which have hitherto received scant critical attention. Wilde's plays have never failed to delight audiences and are a lasting testimony to their author's supreme wit and theatrical genius.

«A universal favorite, «The Importance of Being Earnest» displays Oscar Wilde's theatrical genius at its brilliant best.

Also included in this special collection are Wilde's first comedy success, «Lady Windermere's Fan», and his richly sensual melodrama, «Salome.»

'I am jealous of everything whose beauty does not die. I am jealous of the portrait you have painted of me... Why did you paint it? It will mock me some day — mock me horribly!' Enthralled by his own exquisite portrait, Dorian Gray exchanges his soul for eternal youth and beauty. Influenced by his friend Lord Henry Wotton, he is drawn into a corrupt double life, indulging his desires in secret while remaining a gentleman in the eyes of polite society. Only his portrait bears the traces of his decadence.

This title comes with an introduction and notes by Anne Varty, Royal Holloway, University of London.

He contrasts his behaviour with that of his close friend Robert Ross who became Wilde's literary executor. The Ballad of Reading Gaol is a deeply moving and characteristically generous poem on the horrors of prison life, which was published anonymously in 1898.

«Oscar Wilde' s legendary wit dazzles in «The Importance of Being Earnest», one of the greatest and most popular works of drama to emerge from Victorian England. A light-hearted satire of the absurdity of all forms and conventions, this comic masterpiece features an unforgettable cast of characters who, as critic Max Beerbohm observed, «speak a kind of beautiful nonsense — the language of high comedy, twisted into fantasy». This collection also includes Oscar Wilde' s most famous comedies, «Lady Windermere' s Fan», «A Woman of No Importance», and «An Ideal Husband», as well as his poetic tragedy «Salomé « — all written between 1891 and 1895, Wilde' s most creative period. George Bernard Shaw said of Oscar Wilde that he is «our most thorough playwright. He plays with everything: with wit, with philosophy, with drama, with actors and audience, with the whole theater».»

The Canterville Ghost and Other Stories

Автор: Wilde Oscar
Издательство: Dover Publications, 2008
|
PDF, 80 страниц, 2.40 МБ

Renowned for his poetry, plays, essays, and conversational skills, Oscar Wilde also wrote delightfully entertaining works of short fiction. This volume contains four of his finest. Most celebrated is The Canterville Ghost, a delightfully comical tale centering around the ghost of Sir Simon de Canterville, who for some 300 years has terrorized the residents and employees of Canterville Chase. When the house is bought by the Otises, an American family that refuses to believe in such supernatural nonsense, hilarious results ensue. Also included here are The Sphinx Without a Secret, about an enigmatic woman who carries the key to a mystery with her to the grave; The Model Millionaire, the charming story of a delightful, ineffectual young man with a perfect profile and no profession; as well as Lord Arthur Savile's Crime. Rounding out the volume are Wilde's lyrical Poems in Prose, including The Artist, The Doer of Good, The Disciple, and 3 more. These diverting stories offer the wit, whimsy, and imaginative gusto of one of the 19th century's most scintillating masters of the English language.
