Il ritratto di Mr W.H.

by Oscar Wilde, Silvia Rota Sperti (Translator)

Overview

Scrive William Shakespeare, in dedica ai suoi Sonetti, “To the onlie begetter of these insuing sonnets Mr W. H.”. Ma chi è costui, così importante da meritarsi la dedica di un libro del Bardo? Due amici discutono animatamente su W.H., arrivando a ipotizzare che fosse un giovanissimo attore che turbava i sentimenti del drammaturgo. Per confermare la propria tesi, si può arrivare a falsificare un reperto? Certamente, ma le conseguenze potrebbero essere imprevedibili. Tratto da “Il fantasma di Canterville e altri racconti”, pubblicato da Feltrinelli Numero di caratteri: 63.879

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.
