Oscar Wilde brings his enormous gifts for astute social observation and sparkling prose to The Picture of Dorian Gray his dreamlike story of a young man who sells his soul for eternal youth and beauty. This dandy who remains forever unchanged—petulant hedonistic vain and amoral—while a painting of him ages and grows increasingly hideous with the years has been horrifying enchanting obsessing even corrupting readers for more than a hundred years. Taking the reader in and out of London drawing rooms to the heights of aestheticism and to the depths of decadence The Picture of Dorian Gray is not only a melodrama about moral corruption. Laced with bon mots and vivid depictions of upper-class refinement it is also a fascinating look at the milieu of Wilde’s fin-de-siècle world and a manifesto of the creed “Art for Art’s Sake.†The ever-quotable Wilde who once delighted London with his scintillating plays scandalized readers with this his only novel. Upon publication Dorian was condemned as dangerous poisonous stupid vulgar and immoral and Wilde as a “driveling pedant.†The novel in fact was used against Wilde at his much-publicized trials for “gross indecency†which led to his imprisonment and exile on the European continent. Even so The Picture of Dorian Gray firmly established Wilde as one of the great voices of the Aesthetic movement and endures as a classic that is as timeless as its hero.</p> Barnes & Noble Classics hardcover

20049781419183041-2025Kessinger Publishing 2004. Hardcover. New/New. <p><strong>Author:</strong> Oscar Wilde</p><p><strong>Publisher:</strong> Kessinger Publishing</p><p><strong>Binding:</strong> Hardcover</p><p><strong>ISBN:</strong> 9781419183041</p><p><strong>Release Date:</strong> 2004</p><p><strong>Number Of Pages:</strong> 48</p><p><strong>Details:</strong> The Soul of Man Under Socialism is a collection of essays by the renowned Irish writer and poet Oscar Wilde. The book was first published in 1891 and it is considered to be one of Wilde's most important works. The essays in the book explore Wilde's thoughts on socialism individualism and the nature of art.In the first essay Wilde argues that socialism is the only way to achieve true freedom as it allows individuals to live their lives without being constrained by the demands of capitalism. He also argues that individualism is essential to the development of art and that art should be free from the constraints of political and social ideologies.In the second essay Wilde explores the relationship between art and society. He argues that art has the power to transform society and that artists have a responsibility to use their talents to promote social change. He also discusses the importance of beauty in art and how it can be used to inspire people to action.In the final essay Wilde reflects on the nature of individualism and the role of the artist in society. He argues that individualism is essential to the development of creativity and that artists have a responsibility to use their talents to promote social change. He also discusses the importance of living a life of authenticity and self-expression.Overall The Soul of Man Under Socialism is a thought-provoking and insightful book that explores some of the most important ideas of the 19th century. Wilde's writing is witty engaging and deeply philosophical and his ideas continue to resonate with readers today.Under Socialism all this will of course be altered. There will be no people living in fetid dens and fetid rags and bringing up unhealthy hungerpinched children in the midst of impossible and absolutely repulsive surroundings. The security of society will not depend as it does now on the state of the weather. If a frost comes we shall not have a hundred thousand men out of work tramping about the streets in a state of disgusting misery or whining to their neighbours for alms or crowding round the doors of loathsome shelters to try and secure a hunch of bread and a night's unclean lodging.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting preserving and promoting the world's literature in affordable high quality modern editions that are true to their original work.</p> Kessinger Publishing hardcover

New/New. <p><strong>Author:</strong> Oscar Wilde</p><p><strong>Publisher:</strong> CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform</p><p><strong>Binding:</strong> Hardcover</p><p><strong>ISBN:</strong> 9781534626188</p><p><strong>Release Date:</strong> 2016</p><p><strong>Number Of Pages:</strong> 44</p><p><strong>Details:</strong> The Soul of Man Under Socialism Oscar Wilde "The Soul of Man under Socialism" is an 1891 essay by Oscar Wilde in which he expounds a libertarian socialist worldview and a critique of charity. The writing of "The Soul of Man" followed Wilde's conversion to anarchist philosophy following his reading of the works of Peter Kropotkin. In "The Soul of Man" Wilde argues that under capitalism "the majority of people spoil their lives by an unhealthy and exaggerated altruism—are forced indeed so to spoil them": instead of realising their true talents they waste their time solving the social problems caused by capitalism without taking their common cause away. Thus caring people "seriously and very sentimentally set themselves to the task of remedying the evils that they see in poverty but their remedies do not cure the disease: they merely prolong it" because as Wilde puts it "the proper aim is to try and reconstruct society on such a basis that poverty will be impossible."</p> CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform hardcover
