LARGE PRINT EDITION. Dorian Gray is arrogant. He is pompous, selfish, devastatingly narcissistic, and for much of his life he has never had to think twice about the ramifications of his actions.When the arrival of artist Basil Hallard forces Gray to confront his deepest insecurities, Dorian's most vulnerable self is imminently revealed. After having traded his righteousness for riches, Dorian Gray becomes faced with many regrettable truths he must learn to tackle head on. Needing to own up to his actions, Gray must finally learn to deal with the consequences of living a life that completely self-obsessed. Gripping with relatable prose analogous to the many conundrums of growing up, Wilde weaves a narrative of both self-desire and self-actualization. The Picture of Dorian Gray is a true coming of age tale in a time where the glamour of appearances was as heavy as the currency in your pocket.

The Importance of Being Earnest is a farcical comedy in which the protagonists maintain fictitious personæ to escape burdensome social obligations. The major themes are the triviality of marriage, and the satire of Victorian ways.

Dorian Gray is the subject of a full-length portrait in oil by Basil Hallward, an artist who is impressed and infatuated by Dorian's beauty; he believes that Dorian's beauty is responsible for the new mode in his art as a painter.

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.«
