Autor

Oscar Wilde, an esteemed Irish playwright, poet, and author, is revered for his brilliant wit, flamboyant style, and provocative commentary on society and aesthetics. Born on October 16, 1854, in Dublin, Ireland, Wilde became one of London's most popular playwrights in the early 1890s. His literary accomplishments include a range of genres, from his famous novel 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' to revered plays such as 'The Importance of Being Earnest' and 'An Ideal Husband.' Known for his epigrams and a flair for the decadent and the dramatic, Wilde's works continue to fascinate and provoke. After a highly publicized trial for 'gross indecency,' his career was overshadowed by scandal and imprisonment. Nevertheless, Wilde's literary contributions endure, influencing both modern dramaturgy and social perspectives. His only novel echoes his philosophical stances, exploring themes of duplicity, the aestheticism movement, and the dichotomy of the soul and beauty. Wilde's mastery over the English language and his indulgence in the art of conversation and satire mirrored his complicated personal narrative and the Victorian society he often criticized. He passed away in Paris on November 30, 1900, leaving behind a legacy of literary excellence and a collection of work that continues to be celebrated around the world.
