The talented playwright, the novelist, essayist and poet Oscar Wilde was a brilliant interlocutor, as evidenced by many of his contemporaries, and possessed an inimitable sense of humor, which did not change him even in the most difficult period of his life when he ended up in prison. Merlin Holland, the grandson and biographer of Wilde, recreates the style of communication of his ingenious grandfather as convincingly as if he actually talked to him.
With the preface of the actor, director and writer Simon Callow, commander of the Order of the British Empire.
“The life of Oscar Wilde has all the signs of the fireworks: first an excited expectation, then a spectacular show, then a deafening explosion, a fall - and silence. In an inexplicable way, he foresaw this in his fairy tale about a wonderful rocket, which rose from nowhere in the sheave of sparks, exploded, fell to the ground and went out, exclaiming: I knew that I would make a sensation (Merlin Holland)
