Overview

Immerse yourself in the fascinating and tragic life of Oscar Wilde, the literary genius who defied the conventions of the Victorian era with his indomitable spirit and revolutionary art. This tribute book reveals the extraordinary journey of a man who dared to be himself in an era of rigid social conventions. From his birth in Dublin in 1854, through his golden years at Oxford, to his triumph in London drawing rooms, you will discover the true face of one of history's most brilliant and controversial authors. Through an engaging narrative, we will explore the immortal works that defined his career, from The Portrait of Dorian Gray to theatrical masterpieces such as The Importance of Being Earnest. But beyond the literary genius, this book reveals the man behind the artist: his complex relationships, his cutting aphorisms, his philosophy of aestheticism and his search for beauty in everything. With access to rare documents and testimonies, the book sheds new light on the famous trial that led to his downfall, his life in prison and his moving Parisian exile. An intimate and profound portrait that reveals not only the playwright and the poet, but also the loving father, the faithful friend and the tormented soul who defied his time to live according to his ideals.
