Bøger af Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde (16 October 1854 - 30 November 1900) was an extremely popular Irish writer and poet who wrote in different forms throughout his career and became one of London's most popular playwrights in the early 1890s. Today he is remembered for his epigrams, plays and the strange circumstances of his imprisonment, followed by his early death.At the turn of the 1890s, Wilde refined his ideas about the supremacy of art in a series of dialogues and essays, and incorporated themes of decadence, duplicity, and beauty into his only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890). The opportunity to construct aesthetic details precisely, and combine them with larger social themes, drew Wilde to write drama. He wrote Salome (1891) in French in Paris but it was refused a license. Unperturbed, Wilde produced four society comedies in the early 1890s, which made him one of the most successful playwrights of late Victorian London. Wilde reached the height of his fame and success with The Importance of Being Earnest (1895).

High above the city, on a tall column, stood the statue of the Happy Prince. He was gilded all over with thin leaves of fine gold, for eyes he had two bright sapphires, and a large red ruby glowed on his sword-hilt. He was very much admired indeed. "He is as beautiful as a weathercock," remarked one of the Town Councillors who wished to gain a reputation for having artistic tastes; "only not quite so useful," he added, fearing lest people should think him unpractical, which he really was not. "Why can't you be like the Happy Prince?" asked a sensible mother of her little boy who was crying for the moon. "The Happy Prince never dreams of crying for anything." "I am glad there is some one in the world who is quite happy," muttered a disappointed man as he gazed at the wonderful statue. "He looks just like an angel," said the Charity Children as they came out of the cathedral in their bright scarlet cloaks and their clean white pinafores. "How do you know?" said the Mathematical Master, "you have never seen one.

Un clásico de la literatura universal que todos debemos leer.

Al ser atacada con violencia la genial postura escénica que caracteriza actualmente las reposiciones shakespearianas en Inglaterra, los críticos parecen suponer tácitamente que Shakespeare era más o menos indiferente a los trajes de sus actores, y que si pudiesen contemplar las representaciones de Antonio y Cleopatra de Mrs. Langtry, diría probablemente que la obra, y sólo la obra, es esencial, y que todo el resto no es más que piel y ropa. También, a propósito de la exactitud histórica en la indumentaria, lord Lytton decía en un artículo la Nineteenth Century, como dogma artístico, que la arqueología se encuentra totalmente fuera de lugar en la representación de cualquier obra de Shakespeare, y que intentar destacarla era una de las pedanterías más estúpidas propias de una época de sabihondos. Más tarde estudiaré la situación en que se pone lord Lytton; pero en lo concerniente al rumor de que Shakespeare no se ocupaba en absoluto del vestuario de su teatro, cualquiera puede comprobar, si estudia atentamente el método de este autor, que ninguno de los dramaturgos franceses, ingleses o atenienses se preocupaban tanto como él de la indumentaria de sus actores y de sus efectos ilusionistas. Como él sabía perfectamente que la belleza del traje fascina siempre a los temperamentos artísticos, introduce continuamente en sus obras danzas y máscaras, sólo por el placer que proporcionan a la vista. n many of the somewhat violent attacks that have recently been made on that splendour of mounting which now characterises our Shakespearian revivals in England, it seems to have been tacitly assumed by the critics that Shakespeare himself was more or less indifferent to the costumes of his actors, and that, could he see Mrs. Langtry's production of Antony and Cleopatra, he would probably say that the play, and the play only, is the thing, and that everything else is leather and prunella. While, as regards any historical accuracy in dress, Lord Lytton, in an article in the Nineteenth Century, has laid it down as a dogma of art that archaeology is entirely out of place in the presentation of any of Shakespeare's plays, and the attempt to introduce it one of the stupidest pedantries of an age of prigs. Lord Lytton's position I shall examine later on; but, as regards the theory that Shakespeare did not busy himself much about the costume-wardrobe of his theatre, anybody who cares to study Shakespeare's method will see that there is absolutely no dramatist of the French, English, or Athenian stage who relies so much for his illusionist effects on the dress of his actors as Shakespeare does himself. Knowing how the artistic temperament is always fascinated by beauty of costume, he constantly introduces into his plays masques and dances, purely for the sake of the pleasure which they give the eye.

The contents of this volume require some explanation of an historical nature. It is scarcely realised by the present generation that Wilde's works on their first appearance, with the exception of De Profundis, were met with almost general condemnation and ridicule. The plays on their first production were grudgingly praised because their obvious success could not be ignored; but on their subsequent publication in book form they were violently assailed.

Charmides is a short story written by the renowned Irish author Oscar Wilde. The story revolves around the character of Charmides, a young man who is known for his good looks and charming personality. He is the grandson of the famous philosopher Critias and is admired by many for his wisdom and intellect. The story begins with Charmides attending a party where he meets a woman named Socrates. She is the wife of a wealthy man and is known for her beauty and intelligence. Charmides is immediately drawn to her and they begin a flirtatious conversation. As the night progresses, Charmides becomes increasingly interested in Socrates and begins to question his own beliefs and values. He realizes that he has been living a shallow and superficial life and that true happiness can only be found through wisdom and self-reflection. The story ends with Charmides coming to a profound realization about the importance of inner beauty and the need to cultivate a virtuous character. The book is a powerful exploration of the human condition and the search for meaning and purpose in life. It is a must-read for anyone interested in philosophy, literature, or the human experience.THIS 22 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Best Known Works of Oscar Wilde, by Oscar Wilde.

It is thought that a selection from Oscar Wilde's early verses may be of interest to a large public at present familiar only with the always popular Ballad of Reading Gaol, also included in this volume. The poems were first collected by their author when he was twenty-six years old, and though never, until recently, well received by the critics, have survived the test of NINE editions. Readers will be able to make for themselves the obvious and striking contrasts between these first and last phases of Oscar Wilde's literary activity. The intervening period was devoted almost entirely to dramas, prose, fiction, essays, and criticism.

IEra l'ultimo ricevimento di lady Windermere, alla vigilia della primavera. Bentink House, più dell'usato, brulicava di visitatori. Sei membri del ministero eran venuti direttamente dopo l'udienza dello speaker, con tutti gli ordini e le decorazioni. Le belle donne indossavano i più eleganti costumi e, in fondo alla sala dei quadri, la principessa Sofia di Carlsrühe, grossa dama del tipo tartaro, con occhietti neri e stupendi smeraldi, parlava con voce stridente un pessimo francese e rideva senza ritegno di quanto le si dicesse.

Reviews Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900) Wilde's literary reputation has survived so much that I think it proof against any exhumation of articles which he or his admirers would have preferred to forget. As a matter of fact, I believe this volume will prove of unusual interest; some of the reviews are curiously prophetic; some are, of course, biassed by prejudice hostile or friendly; others are conceived in the author's wittiest and happiest vein; only a few are colourless. And if, according to Lord Beaconsfield, the verdict of a continental nation may be regarded as that of posterity, Wilde is a much greater force in our literature than even friendly contemporaries ever supposed he would become. It should be remembered, however, that at the time when most of these reviews were written Wilde had published scarcely any of the works by which his name has become famous in Europe, though the protagonist of the æsthetic movement was a well-known figure in Paris and London.
