A representative sample of the Irish writer's enormous talent.

The stories collected in this volume reflect the enormous genius of Oscar Wilde (Dublin, 1854 - Paris, 1900), one of the most fascinating and magnetic figures in English literature, a standard-bearer of dandyism, who dedicated his life and work to a common project whose highest aspiration was the cultivation of beauty. Throughout his life, he was a staunch advocate of aestheticism, until his imprisonment, convicted of violating public morality, marked the beginning of his decline. A novelist, poet, literary critic, and playwright, Wilde owes much of his popularity to the only novel he ever wrote, The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890).

This selection constitutes a fabulous overview of the Irish writer's production in the field of short stories, almost all of which is gathered in the three books of stories he published during his lifetime: The Happy Prince and Other Stories , Lord Arthur Savile's Crime and Other Stories , and A House of Pomegranates .
