A menudo, la gente reprocha a los escritores y artistas que sólo sean hombres de acción de un modo imperfecto e incompleto. Y sin embargo, es muy normal que así sea. Esa concentración del pensamiento, ese ardor vehemente que caracterizan el temperamento del artista, excluyen a la fuerza las otras cualidades. Para aquellos a quienes viven preocupados por la belleza de la forma no existe ya nada más en el mundo que tenga verdadera importancia. It has constantly been made a subject of reproach against artists and men of letters that they are lacking in wholeness and completeness of nature. As a rule this must necessarily be so. That very concentration of vision and intensity of purpose which is the characteristic of the artistic temperament is in itself a mode of limitation. To those who are preoccupied with the beauty of form nothing else seems of much importance. Yet there are many exceptions to this rule.

Lord Arthur Savile's Crime and Other Stories is a collection of short semi-comic mystery stories that were written by Oscar Wilde and published in 1891His first attempted murder victim is his elderly Aunt Clementina, who suffers from heartburn. Pretending it is medicine, Lord Arthur gives her a capsule of poison, telling her to take it only when she has an attack of heartburn. Reading a telegram in Venice some time later, he finds that she has died and victoriously returns to London to learn that she has bequeathed him some property. Sorting through the inheritance, his future wife Sybil Merton finds the poison pill, untouched; thus Lord Arthur's aunt died from natural causes and he finds himself in need of a new victim. After some deliberation, he obtains a bomb from a jovial German, disguised as a carriage-clock, and sends it anonymously to a distant relative, the Dean of Chichester. When the bomb goes off, however, the only damage done seems like a novelty trick, and the Dean's son spends his afternoons making tiny, harmless explosions with the clock. In despair, Lord Arthur believes that his marriage plans are doomed, only to encounter the same palm-reader who had told his fortune late at night on the bank of the River Thames. Realising the best possible outcome, he pushes the man off a parapet into the river where he dies. A verdict of suicide is returned at the inquest and Lord Arthur happily goes on to marry. In a slight twist, the palmister is denounced as a fraud, leaving the moral of the story to show the power of suggestion. The story was the basis of the second part of the three-part 1943 film Flesh and Fantasy.

De profundis es la epístola que Oscar Wilde escribió para su compañero, Lord Alfred Douglas en la prisión de Reading en marzo de 1897, dos meses antes de que cumpliera su sentencia, la cual fue impuesta por el delito de sodomía. Bella, empática, triste, conmovedora, irritante, reflexiva, espiritual... muchos adjetivos pueden definir esta obra, dependiendo del lector. Lo cierto es que, a pesar de la confrontación de diversos sentimientos, el autor redacta cada palabra de esta obra con esperanza; esperanza de recibir una respuesta, cualquiera que esta fuera, del principal responsable de su estancia en prisión. During its first half Wilde recounts their previous relationship and extravagant lifestyle which eventually led to Wilde's conviction and imprisonment for gross indecency. He indicts both Lord Alfred's vanity and his own weakness in acceding to those wishes. In the second half, Wilde charts his spiritual development in prison and identification with Jesus Christ, whom he characterises as a romantic, individualist artist. The letter began "Dear Bosie" and ended "Your Affectionate Friend". Wilde wrote the letter between January and March 1897, close to the end of his imprisonment. Contact had lapsed between Douglas and Wilde and the latter had suffered from his close supervision, physical labour and emotional isolation. Nelson, the new prison governor, thought that writing might be more cathartic than prison labour. He was not allowed to send the long letter which he was allowed to write "for medicinal purposes"; each page was taken away when completed, and only at the end could he read it over and make revisions. Nelson gave the long letter to him on his release on 18 May 1897. Wilde entrusted the manuscript to the journalist Robert Ross (an ex-lover, and rival to "Bosie"). Ross published the letter in 1905, five years after Wilde's death, giving it the title "De Profundis" from Psalm 130. It was an incomplete version, excised of its autobiographical elements and references to the Queensberry family; various editions gave more text until in 1962 the complete and correct version appeared in a volume of Wilde's letters.

Oscar Wilde, an Irish Writer, Playwright and renowned poet. He was born on 16th Oct 1854 and was died on 30th Nov 1900. His famous work includes: The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890), The Importance of Being Earnest (1895), The Ballad of Reading Gaol (1898), and De Profundis (written in 1897 & published in 1905)

The poem narrates the execution of Wooldridge; it moves from an objective story-telling to symbolic identification with the prisoners as a whole.No attempt is made to assess the justice of the laws which convicted them, but rather the poem highlights the brutalisation of the punishment that all convicts share. Wilde juxtaposes the executed man and himself with the line "Yet each man kills the thing he loves". Wilde too was separated from his wife and sons. He adopted the proletarian ballad form, and suggested it be published in Reynold's Magazine, "because it circulates widely among the criminal classes - to which I now belong - for once I will be read by my peers - a new experience for me".

It has constantly been made a subject of reproach against artists and men of letters that they are lacking in wholeness and completeness of nature. As a rule this must necessarily be so. That very concentration of vision and intensity of purpose which is the characteristic of the artistic temperament is in itself a mode of limitation. To those who are preoccupied with the beauty of form nothing else seems of much importance. Yet there are many exceptions to this rule.

This collection of literature attempts to compile many of the classic, timeless works that have stood the test of time and offer them at a reduced, affordable price, in an attractive volume so that everyone can enjoy them.

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).

The Picture of Dorian Gray is Oscar Wilde's only novel, but what a novel! Dorian Gray is a handsome young man who commissions a painting of himself by an artist named Basil Hallward. The artist is infatuated with Dorian, thinking the young man's beauty has brought about a major improvement in his art. When Dorian meets Lord Henry Wotton, a friend of the artist's, Dorian comes to love Lord Henry's worldview: that the only things worth pursuing are beauty, and a hedonistic abandon to please the senses. Dorian, in a whimsical moment, says he'd love to sell his soul to have Basil's painting of him age instead of Dorian himself. That wish is granted, and Dorian lives a life of debauchery, the results of which are reflected in the painting. But no matter how well you play the game, there's always a price to pay...

A esa chica la había visto en un carruaje amarillo y que desde ese momento le había fascinado instantáneamente y que no pudo dejar de pensar en ella y que después se estuvo paseando por esa calle para ver si podía verla de nuevo. Una semana después la vio. La primera vez que le habló fue un mal comienzo, según él, también se sentía estúpidamente enamorado. Le pidió que si podría volver a verla y ella con un poco de duda le dijo que a las cinco menos cuatro. El día de la cita llegó puntualmente pero le dijo que lady Abroy ya había salido, le mandó una carta a su casa pero ella le pidió que no lo volviera a hacer y que se las mandara a otra dirección, era tan misteriosa que lord Murchison pensaba que estaba bajo la posesión de algún hombre pero después abandonó esa idea. Un après-midi, j'étais assis à la terrasse du café de la Paix, contemplant la splendeur et les dessous de la vie parisienne. Tout en prenant mon vermouth, j'étudiais avec curiosité l'étrange panorama où l'orgueil et la pauvreté défilaient devant moi, quand je m'entendis appeler par mon nom. Je fis demi-tour et je me vis en face de lord Murchison. Nous ne nous étions pas revus depuis que nous avions été au collège ensemble, il y avait dix ans de cela. Aussi fus-je charmé de cette rencontre. Nous échangeâmes une chaude poignée de main. À Oxford, nous avions été grands amis. Je l'aimais énormé-ment. Il était si bon, si plein d'entrain, si plein d'honneur. Nous disions souvent de lui qu'il serait le meilleur garçon du monde sans son penchant à dire toujours la vérité, mais je crois que réellement nous ne l'en admirions que davantage pour sa franchise. Je le trouvai bien un peu changé.
