Bøker av Oscar Wilde

This riverrun edition includes the hitherto uncollected works by one of the twentieth century's most celebrated writers.

During his prolific career, Oscar Wilde also wrote several stories for children and fairy tales. In these stories Wilde really expressed his affection for aesthetic writing.

This book contains a brand-new collection of some of Wilde's best poetry, including the titular "My Voice". A fantastic collection of poetry by one of the nineteenth century's most notable poets.

Brimming with the counter-intuitive wit with which Wilde's name is synonymous, the play follows two young men, Algernon and Jack, as they come to grips with one another's lies, which spiral out of control and culminate in a hauntingly brilliant scene with a cast of characters dripping with satire, a lost manuscript and an unforgettable handbag.

As the painter looked at the gracious and comely form he had so skilfully mirrored in his art, a smile of pleasure passed across his face, and seemed about to linger there. But he suddenly started up, and closing his eyes, placed his fingers upon the lids, as though he sought to imprison within his brain some curious dream from which he feared he might awake.
