An Oscar Wilde story for children where a beautiful, golden, jewel-studded statue and a little swallow give all they have to help the poor.

A man was hanged in Reading Gaol during Wilde's imprisonment there. In "The Ballad", written after his release, he tells of the horror of the event and its effect on himself and his fellow prisoners. First published 1898, under the pseudonym C.3.3 - the number by which Wilde was known in the prison, consisting of the cell block, landing number and cell number of his cell.

The Picture of Dorian Gray, first published in 1890, is still one of the most riveting novels ever written. The genius plot has everything to capture and hold the imagination, from lust, debauchery, and doomed romance though blackmail, murder, and the disastrous effect of a morally depraved French novel. That’s not even counting the visits to the opium den, the addiction, the stalking, or the string of deaths - accidental or self-inflicted.

Lord Arthur führt das unbekümmerte Leben eines gut betuchten jungen Mannes. Doch kurz vor der Hochzeit mit der ganz reizenden Sybil schlägt das Schicksal grausam zu. Auf einer illustren Gesellschaft der Lady Windermere macht er die Bekanntschaft eines Handlesers, der die Damen mit seiner Kunst erheitert: "Ehrgeiz - sehr mäßig, Intelligenzlinie nicht übertrieben. Herzlinie... " Doch was der Chiromant in der feingliedrigen Hand des jungen Lords liest, lässt ihn erbleichen.

"The Happy Prince" is a short story by Oscar Wilde, about a swallow and a statue. The swallow who remained behind when his flock flew to Africa for the winter, befriends a golden and bejewelled statue of a prince. Witnessing the poverty and suffering in the city, the statue asks the swallow to take his jewels and use them to help the poor. One by the swallow takes the gemstones, and ultimately also the gold plating, stripping the statue bare. But because it waited so long, it succumbs to the cold of winter.

A tender love story, a serpentine villainess, a glittering setting in London society, and a showering of Wildean witticism are only a few of the reasons why this play has enjoyed hugely successful revivals in London, in New York, and on the silver screen. This 1895 drama is eerily prescient, as it examines the plight of a promising politician, desperate to hide a secret in his past. With empathy and wit, Oscar Wilde explores the pitfalls of holding public figures to higher standards than the rest of us.

A new audio edition of Oscar Wilde's masterpiece, The Picture of Dorian Gray.

El fantasma de Canterville es un relato corto que fue publicado por primera vez en 1887. Cuenta la historia de una familia estadounidense que compra un castillo en Inglaterra y decide vivir allí a pesar de que les advierten de la existencia de un fantasma, Sir Simon de Canterville, que hace trescientos años que ronda por el castillo tras asesinar a su esposa.

Wilde's first collection of verse, published in 1881, contains many poems which had already been published individually. Among the 61 poems can be found four major works, "The Garden of Eros", "The Burden of Itys", "Charmides", and "Humanitad". Although the initial critical reaction was not particularly enthusiastic, Wilde's poetry aroused enough attention for him to become the object of ridicule in the Gilbert and Sullivan comic opera Patience, in which he is characterized as the "fleshly poet", Reginald Bunthorne.

Este ebook presenta "El retrato de Dorian Gray", con un índice dinámico y detallado. Se trata de una novela que escribió Oscar Wilde, publicada en 1890. Se considera una de las últimas obras clásicas de la novela de terror gótica con una fuerte temática faustiana.

Das Leben als Gespenst ist kein leichtes. Als wäre es nicht genug, auf ewig in alten Gemäuern festzusitzen und dazu verdammt zu sein, mit Ketten zu rasseln, Teppichen mit Blutflecken zu besudeln und allerlei anderen Schabernack zu treiben. Als die sehr moderne und so gar nicht ängstliche Familie des amerikanischen Botschafters Hiram B. Otis nach auf Canterville einzieht, wird das Leben für Hausgeist Sir Simon zur Hölle. Schnell wird er selbst zum verzweifelten Opfer von Stolperfäden, Butterfallen und Gespensteratrappen und herunterstürzenden Wasserkrügen.

Un ricco ministro americano, Hiram B. Otis, si trasferisce in Inghilterra e sceglie di abitare nell'antico castello di Canterville. Non si fa certo impressionare dalla leggenda che vuole il castello infestato da un vecchio fantasma, l'antico proprietario, Sir Simon, che uccise la moglie Lady Eleonore e scomparve nel nulla... "Il fantasma di Canterville" è una delle opere più conosciute e amate di Oscar Wilde, capolavoro di una scrittura al contempo raffinatissima e accessibile, intriso di ironia e di significati nascosti.

This essay was written in 1891 after Wilde had become enamored of concepts expressive of a liberal socialism. In his view, the aim of socialism should be "to try to reconstruct society on such a basis that poverty will be impossible". Typically, Wilde stresses the vital role played by art and the imperative significance of the artist.

The first four stories were first published as a collection in 1891. The final story, "The Portrait of Mr W. H.", originally published separately in 1889, was later added to an expanded collection. All the stories deal with personal relationships and their inevitable influence on the course of a person's life.

Dorian Gray, ein wohlhabender englischer Gentleman, ist nur von einem einzigen Gedanken besessen: die ewige Jugend zu erlangen! Von seiner eigenen Schönheit bezaubert, verkauft er seine Seele, um seinen Wunschtraum wahr werden zu lassen. Hemmungslos gibt er sich seinem Hang zu maßloser Verschwendung, Verbrechen und Grausamkeit hin, denn er altert nicht mehr und sein zügelloser Lebensstil hinterlässt an seinem Körper keine Spuren. Doch auf seinem gemalten Porträt verbirgt sich die grauenvolle Wahrheit.

Dorian Gray, un giovane di straordinaria bellezza, si è fatto fare un ritratto da un pittore. Ossessionato dalla paura della vecchiaia, ottiene, con un sortilegio, che ogni segno che il tempo dovrebbe lasciare sul suo viso, compaia invece solo sul ritratto. Avido di piacere, si abbandona agli eccessi più sfrenati, mantenendo intatta la freschezza e la perfezione del suo viso. Poiché Hallward, il pittore, gli rimprovera tanta vergogna, lo uccide. A questo punto il ritratto diventa per Dorian un atto d'accusa e in un impeto di disperazione lo squarcia con una pugnalata.
