Bøger af Oscar Wilde

The short story is often viewed as an inferior relation to the Novel. But it is an art in itself. To take a story and distil its essence into fewer pages while keeping character and plot rounded and driven is not an easy task. Many try and many fail. In this series we look at short stories from many of our most accomplished writers. Miniature masterpieces with a lot to say. In this volume we examine some of the short stories of Oscar Wilde.Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde was born on the 16th October 1854 in Dublin Ireland. The son of Dublin intellectuals Oscar proved himself an outstanding classicist at Dublin, then at Oxford. Wilde moved to London and its fashionable cultural and social circles. With his biting wit, flamboyant dress, and glittering conversation, Wilde became one of the most well-known personalities of his day.His is only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray was published in 1890 and he then moved on to writing for the stage with Salome in 1891. His society comedies produced enormous hits and turned him into one of the most successful writers of late Victorian London.Whilst his masterpiece, The Importance of Being Earnest, was on stage in London, Wilde had the Marquess of Queensberry, the father of his lover, Lord Alfred Douglas, prosecuted for libel. The trial unearthed evidence that caused Wilde to drop his charges and led to his own arrest and trial for gross indecency. He was convicted and imprisoned for two years' hard labour. It was to break him.On release he left for France, There he wrote his last work, The Ballad of Reading Gaol in 1898. He died destitute in Paris at the age of forty-six sipping champagne a friend had brought with the line 'Alas I am dying beyond my means'.Many of these stories are also available as an audiobook from our sister company Word Of Mouth.

"Intentions" is a collection of essays and dialogues written by the Irish playwright and author Oscar Wilde. First published in 1891, this work reflects Wilde's thoughts on various aspects of art, criticism, and aesthetics, and it plays a significant role in shaping his aesthetic philosophy.Wilde argues that art should exist for its own sake rather than having a moral or didactic purpose. He champions the idea that art and beauty should not be constrained by utilitarian concerns. In one of the essays, "The Critic as Artist," Wilde explores the dynamic relationship between the artist, the critic, and the public. He suggests that the critic, rather than merely interpreting art, has a creative role in understanding and reshaping it.The collection contains several other essays, including "The Decay of Lying," where Wilde famously champions the notion that "Life imitates Art far more than Art imitates Life." He challenges conventional ideas about realism in art and advocates for a more imaginative and idealized representation of life.Wilde's wit and paradoxical thinking are prominent throughout "Intentions," making it not only a collection of aesthetic principles but also a delightful exploration of the relationships between art and society. These essays were highly influential in the late 19th century and continue to be studied for their insights into aesthetics, art, and the creative process.In summary, "Intentions" by Oscar Wilde is a collection of essays and dialogues that expound Wilde's aesthetic philosophy, emphasizing the importance of art for art's sake and the creative role of the critic. It challenges conventional notions of realism in art and explores the interplay between art and life. Wilde's eloquent and paradoxical writing style adds a layer of intellectual and literary richness to the collection.

Der schlagfertig humorvolle Freimaurer entwickelt sich zu einem berühmt berüchtigten Skandalautor, genießt seinen schlechten Ruf als Dandy und pflegt einen extravaganten Auftritt in samtenen Kniebundhosen mit Seidenstrümpfen. Er wird gehässig karikiert und zugleich für seine Bonmots gefeiert. 30-jährig heiratet der inzwischen weltberühmte Dichter die wohlhabende und bildschöne Kinderautorin Constance Mary Loyd, mit der er zwei Söhne haben wird. 1895 zettelt der Vater seines langjährigen Liebhabers Lord Alfred Douglas einen Prozess wegen der damals schwer bestraften Homosexualität gegen ihn an, der ihn für zwei Jahre ins Zuchthaus bringt. Die menschenverachtenden Haftbedingungen in Isolation und Dunkelheit mit harter Zwangsarbeit ruinieren seine Gesundheit. Nach seiner Entlassung lebt er verarmt, vereinsamt und krank in Paris. Am 30. November 1900 stirbt mit Oscar Wilde ein charismatischer Repräsentant der Dekadenz und eine der schillerndsten Figuren des viktorianischen Englands. 1917 schreibt Alfred Kerr über Oscar Wilde »Seine langsame Hinrichtung bleibt der letzte Akt des Mittelalters.«

The play opens with a group of English aristocrats gathering at the country house of Lady Hunstanton. Among the guests are Lord Illingworth, a charming but morally questionable man, and Mrs. Arbuthnot, a woman with a secret past. Also present are young Gerald Arbuthnot, Mrs. Arbuthnot's son, and Hester Worsley, a young American woman.The central conflict of the play revolves around Mrs. Arbuthnot's desire to protect her son from the influence of Lord Illingworth, who offers Gerald a position as his secretary. Mrs. Arbuthnot's concern stems from her own painful past, as Lord Illingworth is the father of her illegitimate child, Gerald.Throughout the play, Wilde explores themes of social hypocrisy, the consequences of past mistakes, and the importance of moral integrity. The characters engage in witty and satirical conversations, often concealing their true thoughts and feelings beneath a veneer of politeness.As the play unfolds, secrets are revealed, and characters are forced to confront their own moral choices. Mrs. Arbuthnot's steadfast determination to protect her son's future becomes a central focus, leading to a dramatic confrontation with Lord Illingworth.

2023 Reprint of the 1915 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. The Importance of Being Earnest is celebrated not only for the lighthearted ingenuity of its plot, but for its inspired dialogue, rich with scintillating epigrams still savored by all who enjoy artful conversation. Rich in humor, and memorable characters, Wilde offers a captivating satire of Victorian society and its repressive values and traditions, particularly in the pursuit of love and marriage. To recapture their freedom, the characters liberate themselves by leading double lives. From the play's effervescent beginnings in Algernon Moncrieff's London flat to its hilarious dénouement in the drawing room of Jack Worthing's country manor in Hertfordshire, this comic masterpiece keeps audiences breathlessly anticipating a new bon mot or a fresh twist of plot moment to moment.

"A Critic in Pall Mall" is not a work by Oscar Wilde. Instead, it is a collection of essays and reviews written by Oscar Wilde that was published in 1885 under the title "The Critic As Artist." This collection includes two dialogues: "The Critic As Artist: With Some Remarks on the Importance of Doing Nothing" and "The Decay of Lying: An Observation."In "The Critic As Artist," Wilde explores the role of the critic and the artist in society, arguing that the critic plays an essential role in shaping public opinion about art. He discusses the importance of individualism, aesthetics, and the idea that the critic's subjective response to art is as valuable as objective analysis.In "The Decay of Lying," Wilde satirically examines the relationship between art and reality. He argues that life imitates art far more than art imitates life, advocating for the value of artistic expression and imagination over strict adherence to reality.Both essays are known for their wit, humor, and paradoxical statements, which are characteristic of Wilde's writing style. These essays are considered significant contributions to the fields of literary criticism and aesthetics.

Fans of the new Showtime series 'Penny Dreadful' are in for a treat with this Penny Dreadful Double Bill. 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue' by Edgar Allan Poe Decades before Sherlock Holmes, American author Edgar Allan Poe created the detective story in this remarkable trilogy of short stories featuring genius French criminologist C. Auguste Dupin. 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue' represents the beginning of crime fiction. The story was first published in Graham's Magazine in 1841 and has been recognized as the first detective story. Poe referred to it as one of his "tales of ratiocination". As the first fictional detective, Poe's Dupin displays many traits which became literary conventions in subsequent fictional detectives including Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot. Many later characters, for example, follow Poe's model of the brilliant detective, his personal friend who serves as narrator, and the final revelation being presented before the reasoning that leads up to it. Dupin himself reappears in "The Mystery of Marie Rogêt" and "The Purloined Letter". 'The Canterville Ghost' by Oscar Wilde It was the first of Wilde's stories to be published, appearing in the magazine The Court and Society Review in February 1887. It was later included in a collection of short stories entitled Lord Arthur Savile's Crime and Other Stories in 1891. The eerie tale takes place in an old English country manor, Canterville Chase, which has all the accoutrements of a traditional haunted house. Descriptions of the wainscoting, the library panelled in black oak, and the armour in the hallway characterize the Gothic setting. Wilde mixes the macabre with comedy, juxtaposing devices from traditional English ghost stories such as creaking floorboards, clanking chains, and ancient prophecies with symbols of contemporary American consumerism. Wilde's chiller has been adapted for the stage and screen numerous times. A new cinematic version is rumored to be in the works for release in Christmas 2014 starring Hugh Laurie (House).

Le Fantôme de Canterville met en scène un fantôme nommé Sir Simon et un ministre américain, Mr Otis, accompagné de sa famille. À l'arrivée de ces derniers, Lord Canterville, l'ancien propriétaire des lieux, prévient Mr Otis et sa famille que le fantôme de Sir Simon hante le château depuis que ce dernier a tué sa femme Eleonore voilà quelques siècles. Or, ce fantôme, qui a toujours fait peur à toutes les personnes ayant habité ce château, n'arrive pas à effrayer cette famille américaine qui affiche une attitude résolument moderne et pragmatique. Le fantôme épuise ainsi tout son arsenal de techniques. Par exemple, quand il s'accapare la peinture de Virginia et leur faisait croire qu'il s'agit du sang de sa femme Elenore pour faire peur sans succès aux membres de la famille Otis. Finalement, il abandonne tout espoir de les effrayer quand soudain Virginia, la fille de Mr Otis, parle au fantôme et devient son amie. Grâce à elle, le fantôme part en paix, laissant derrière lui une boîte de beaux bijoux pour son amie.
