In a late 19th century London studio, aspiring artist Basil Hallward puts the finishing touches on a portrait of his handsome young friend Dorian Gray. Dorian looks at the painting and wishes that the portrait might grow old while he remains forever young.  

First published in 1913, more than a decade after the author's death, Charmides and Other Poems is a collection including the long narrative poem "Charmides" (1881), and a number of shorter poems, and sonnets, many written when Wilde was at the height of his powers as an author.

This collection contains 21 reviews of artistic events and artifacts which originally appeared between 1877 and 1889. Clearly on display is Wilde's comprehensive knowledge of contemporary painting, fashion, and literature, as well as his capacity to create paradoxical aphorisms, which is such a feature of more substantial works like The Picture of Dorian Gray and The Importance of Being Earnest.

Questo progetto è nato dall'idea di un gruppo di lavoro che ha dedicato le ore lavoro del loro "Annual Day of Caring", per organizzare la lettura di un libro in italiano. I due romanzi di Oscar Wilde sono scritti con lo spirito ironico che contraddistingue questo autore: Nel primo un classico fantasma caratterizzato dalla più tradizionale mentalità britannica sarà costretto a fronteggiare l'imperturbabile spirito realistico della famiglia americana che ha rilevato il castello in cui risiede. Nel secondo a un Lord inglese viene predetto che si macchierà di un omicidio.

Oscar Wilde já era reconhecido como um dos melhores autores de seu tempo quando foi condenado à prisão, em 1895. A acusação de “indecência grave” remetia à muito discutida homossexualidade de Wilde, considerada crime na época. Enquanto estava encarcerado, o autor escreveu uma carta a Lord Alfred Douglas, com quem mantinha uma relação que foi o estopim para sua prisão.

"De Profundis" è una lunga lettera che Oscar Wilde scrisse al suo compagno Alfred Douglas nel 1897. Wilde era stato processato ed incarcerato per omosessualità e scrisse il "De Profundis" dalla sua cella. È una lettera intensamente personale che indaga le fasi del dolore e intreccia il tema religioso con quello dell'arte. Fu pubblicata nel 1905, cinque anni dopo la morte di Wilde, con il titolo latino "De Profundis" che si traduce in "dal profondo". Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) è stato un drammaturgo, romanziere, saggista e poeta irlandese.

La storia, descritta con uno stile velatamente ironico ma delicato, è anche improntata a un certo raffinato decadentismo, tipico di Wilde. Il breve racconto (non più di quattro o cinque pagine) narra la storia di un giovane bello e di modeste risorse che, grazie ad un incredibile, quanto inaspettato colpo di fortuna, riesce ad arricchirsi ed a coronare il suo sogno d'amore. Il gioco della narrazione sta proprio nel finale totalmente a sorpresa che ribalta improvvisamente le prospettive che avevano fino ad un instante prima ingannato il lettore.

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) fu un drammaturgo, romanziere, saggista e poeta irlandese, autore de "Il ritratto di Dorian Gray" e "L'importanza di chiamarsi Ernesto", per nominare solo un paio delle sue opere più conosciute. Si pensava che fosse omosessuale e fu molto osteggiato in vita. Morì a Parigi all'età di 46 anni. Si dice che Oscar Wilde abbia affermato che queste favole non erano "destinate né al bambino britannico né al pubblico britannico".

In this celebrated work, his only novel, Wilde forged a devastating portrait of the effects of evil and debauchery on a young aesthete in late 19th-century England. Combining elements of the Gothic horror novel and decadent French fiction, the book centers on a striking premise: As Dorian Gray sinks into a life of crime and gross sensuality, his body retains perfect youth and vigor while his recently painted portrait grows day by day into a hideous record of evil, which he must keep hidden from the world.

Oscar Wilde é recordado como uma das mentes mais espirituosas de sempre, graças ao seu estilo e humor provocantes. Na década de 1890, foi um dos mais populares dramaturgos de Londres; as suas obras-primas são A Importância de "Ser Ganancioso" e o quadro sombrio e fantasioso de "Dorian Gray". Os seus escritos entrelaçam temas de beleza, decadência e duplicidade, o que o tornou um agente provocador mais do que colorido na sociedade vitoriana.
