The book contains selected works by Oscar Wilde in various genres. The scandalously famous novel "The Picture of Dorian Gray" occupies a central place, becoming Wilde's hallmark. Oscar Wilde loved to shock the Victorian public and prepared the fate of his most scandalous play, "Salome." The play was banned due to its biblical theme, unconventional combination of religion and eroticism, and being written in a foreign language (French).
The novella "The Canterville Ghost" is a parody of gothic literature, a satire on society with a touch of romance. The fairy tales from various cycles, referred to by the author as "prose studies, in which the form of fantasy is chosen," are enchanting stories that reveal another side of Wilde - the creator of refined philosophical allegories about beauty and love, good and evil, life and death.
Also included are "De Profundis: A Prison Confession," the poem "The Ballad of Reading Gaol," and poems.
