Overview

“Mi sorprendo sempre. È l’unica cosa per cui valga la pena vivere” Dotato di un soprannaturale talento per la frase a effetto, il gioco retorico e la prestidigitazione verbale, Wilde è il maestro riconosciuto dell’aforisma. In questa raccolta, che attinge sia dalla produzione prettamente aforistica sia da quella narrativa e drammatica del grande autore inglese, è racchiusa una completa panoramica del suo genio, ordinatamente disposta per tematiche in modo da facilitare la consultazione. “Spesso penso che Dio, nel creare l’uomo, abbia in qualche modo sopravvalutato la Sua capacità”: difficile, pensando a Oscar Wilde, essere d’accordo con lui.

About the Author

About The Author

The ever-quotable Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) was an Irish playwright, novelist, essayist, and poet who delighted Victorian England with his legendary wit. He found critical and popular success with his scintillating plays, chiefly The Importance of Being Earnest, while his only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, scandalized readers. Imprisoned for two years for homosexual behavior, Wilde moved to France after his release, where he died destitute.
