This is a solo recording of the play, meaning that all parts including stage directions are performed by one person. LibriVox has three excellent dramatic recordings with all the parts played by different people so if that is more to your taste, please listen to them. Little needs to be said about the play itself, a sparkling example of Wilde's amazing ability to poke fun at almost everyone while making you laugh out loud at the witty sayings sprinkled throughout the acts. As to the plot, if you don't know it already, let me just say that it involves two young English men who fall madly and ...

En "El crimen de Lord Arthur Saville" se nos revela el Wilde en estado puro, el observador más irónico y despiadado de una sociedad decadente y egoísta. Una historia excepcionalmente elaborada que, con un estilo exquisito, indaga en los profundos recovecos de la culpa y el deseo, obsesiones recurrentes en toda la obra del genial escritor dublinés. Oscar Wilde consigue con su amargo humor y una sutil ironía que el crudo retrato de una clase social aristocrática, con sus vicios y defectos, se disfrace de comedia ligera, haciendo de esta novela breve una ficción deliciosa e imprescindible....

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 di macchierà di un omicidio.

Two short fragments: an unfinished and a lost play. A Florentine Tragedy, left in a taxi (not a handbag), is Wilde’s most successful attempt at tragedy – intense and domestic, with surprising depth of characterisation. It was adapted into an opera by the Austrian composer Alexander Zemlinsky in 1917. La Sainte Courtisane, or The Woman Covered in Jewels explores one of Wilde’s great idées fixes: the paradox of religious hedonism, pagan piety. Both plays, Wildean to their core, revel in the profound sadness that is the fruit of the conflict between fidelity and forbidden love. Written ...

The first memoir by the poet Lord Alfred “Bosie” Douglas was written 14 years after the death of Oscar Wilde and in the aftermath of Douglas's failed prosecution of Arthur Ransome for libel. Ransome, in his "Oscar Wilde, a Critical Study," had quoted from the expurgated portions of Wilde's prison letter to Douglas, "De Profundis", which was highly critical of his former friend and lover. Having failed to convince a jury that he had been libelled, Douglas appealed instead to posterity by writing his memoir. In "Oscar Wilde and Myself" Douglas refutes Wilde's version of the events that led ...

Ensayo del siempre genial y mordaz Oscar Wide, continuación del otro texto dialogado: "El crítico como artista". En esta segunda parte expone su punto de vista sobre el arte, el ocio, la individualidad y el genio en forma de conversación distendida entre dos gentleman británicos: Ernesto (interpretado por Enrique Rendón) y Gilberto (leído por Epachuko). El contenido es interesante en sí mismo, pero la ingeniosa y entretenida forma en la que expresan sus argumentos y réplicas los dos contertulios le da ese brillo único y sensacional al texto, tantas veces imitado y tan pocas veces ...

In 1895, Oscar Wilde was sentenced to 2 years of hard labor for acts of ‘gross indecency’. During his time at Reading Gaol, he witnessed a rare hanging, and in the three years between his release and his untimely death in 1900, was inspired to write the following poem, a meditation on the death penalty and the importance of forgiveness, even for (and especially for) something as heinous as murdering one’s spouse; for even the murderer, Wilde argues, is human and suffers more so for being the cause of his own pain, for ‘having killed the thing he loved’; for everyone is the cause of ...
