De Profundis Oscar Wilde - Während seiner Zeit im Reading Gaol geschrieben, ist De Profundis Oscar Wildes bewegender Brief an Lord Alfred Douglas, dessen Beziehung zu Wilde zur Inhaftierung des Dichters führte. Hier weist Wilde Lord Alfred zurück und denkt über seine Tortur nach und erkennt an, wie die Tiefen seines Kummers ihm geholfen haben, ihn zu einer volleren, freieren Weisheit zu befreien. Voller schöner Passagen ist De Profundis eine tiefgründige und inspirierende Abhandlung über die Bedeutung des Leidens. De Profundis wird von Oscar Wildes Enkel Merlin Holland vorgestellt.

저자 정보

Author Oscar Wilde was known for his acclaimed works including 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' and 'The Importance of Being Earnest,' as well as his brilliant wit, flamboyant style and infamous imprisonment for homosexuality. Who Was Oscar Wilde? Author, playwright and poet Oscar Wilde was a popular literary figure in late Victorian England. After graduating from Oxford University, he lectured as a poet, art critic and a leading proponent of the principles of aestheticism. In 1891, he published The Picture of Dorian Gray, his only novel which was panned as immoral by Victorian critics, but is now considered one of his most notable works. As a dramatist, many of Wilde's plays were well received including his satirical comedies Lady Windermere's Fan (1892), A Woman of No Importance (1893), An Ideal Husband (1895) and The Importance of Being Earnest (1895), his most famous play. Unconventional in his writing and life, Wilde's affair with a young man led to his arrest on charges of "gross indecency" in 1895. He was imprisoned for two years and died in poverty three years after his release at the age of 46.
