Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There’s been a long-standing argument in literary circles, surrounding Shakespeare’s sonnets. The works are dedicated to ‘Mr W.H.’ and academics have debated as to who this elusive figure might be. Some have even gone as far as to suggest that the initials stand for ‘Willian Himself.’ ‘The Portrait of Mr W.H.’ sees Wilde give these sonnets a witty and wry autopsy, poring through them to find the identity of this shadowy dedicatee. However, this is a speculative fiction rather than an academic exercise, and Wilde creates a superb story in which a young actor might give a clue as to who Mr W.H. actually was. Ideal for fans of Shakespeare and Wilde, alike. Oscar Wilde (1854 – 1900) was an Irish novelist, poet, playwright, and wit. He was an advocate of the Aesthetic movement, which extolled the virtues of art for the sake of art. During his career, Wilde wrote nine plays, including ‘The Importance of Being Earnest,’ ‘Lady Windermere’s Fan,’ and ‘A Woman of No Importance,’ many of which are still performed today. His only novel, ‘The Picture of Dorian Gray’ was adapted for the silver screen, in the film, ‘Dorian Gray,’ starring Ben Barnes and Colin Firth. In addition, Wilde wrote 43 poems, and seven essays. His life was the subject of a film, starring Stephen Fry.

Book excerpt: During a conversation about literary forgeries, Erskine tells his young guest that he has received - as a legacy from a friend, the Cambridge scholar Cyril Graham -what is purported to be an Elizabethan portrait. The painting depicts a beautiful young man in late-sixteenth-century costume, whom Graham believed to be Willie Hughes, a boy actor serving in Shakespeare's company. This revelation prompts Erskine's guest to delve deeper into the mystery surrounding the real identity of the dedicatee and the inspiration of Shakespeare's Sonnets, with unforeseen consequences. Far from being a dry exposition of a literary theory, The Portrait of Mr W.H. - which the author himself described as one of his "e;early masterpieces"e; - is an engaging and entertaining narrative exploring the intricate facets of trust and betrayal, historical truth and fiction, written with Wilde's trademark dialogical sharpness and stylistic perfection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: O RETRATO DO SR. W. H. é uma história acerca da tentativa de se descobrir a identidade do Sr. W. H., o homenageado enigmático dos sonetos de Shakespeare. Em 1609, foi publicado a primeira edição dos Sonetos de Shakespeare, apresentando a misteriosa dedicatória: "Para o Senhor W.H." Desde então, a identidade do senhor W. tem sido objeto de uma série de teorias fascinantes - mas ninguém foi tão engenhoso quanto Oscar Wilde ao elaborar sua teoria no RETRATO DO SR. W. H. É baseado em uma teoria, originada por Thomas Tyrwhitt, de que os sonetos foram dirigidos a Willie Hughes, retratado na história como um ator jovem da companhia de Shakespeare. A única evidência para esta teoria é um conjunto de sonetos (como o Soneto 20), que fazem trocadilhos com as palavras "Will" e "Matizes". No relato, o pesquisador da Universidade de Cambridge Cyril Graham passa os seus dias analisando as obras de Shakespeare e faz um descobrimento muito surpreendente: o Senhor W. H. a quem Shakespeare dedicou os seus sonetos não é ninguém menos do que Will Hughes, um dos atores de sua companhia. Como ninguém compartilha de sua teoria, Graham passa a se valer de outros métodos para convencer os seus pares, levando a uma série de fatos misteriosos até um final surpreendente. Conhecido por seu estilo de vida extravagante e pouco ortodoxo, Oscar Wilde, um dos maiores escritores da língua inglesa nesta obra demonstra toda sua genialidade e apresenta o estilo que o caracterizaria como um dos maiores intelectuais de todos os tempos.

Book excerpt: Oscar Wilde (1854-1900), de son nom complet Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde, est un ecrivain irlandais, ne a Dublin, Irlande. Oscar fait d'abord de brillantes etudes au Trinity College de Dublin, puis au college Magdalen d'Oxford; il s'y distingue par son gout pour la discussion, le raffinement, ce qui lui vaudra d'etre raille par ses camarades. En 1897 il quitte l'Angleterre pour la France, ou il demeure quelque temps a Berneval, pres de Dieppe en Normandie, sous le nom de Sebastien Melmoth, en reference au roman Melmoth the Wanderer (1820) de Charles Robert Maturin, un des romans fondateurs du courant gothique en litterature. Maturin etait par ailleurs le grand-oncle de Wilde. En ces dernieres decennies du XIXe siecle, Wilde incarne une nouvelle sensibilite qui apparait en reaction contre le positivisme et le naturalisme. Dans sa preface au Le Portrait de Dorian Gray (1891), il defend la separation de l'esthetique et de l'ethique, du beau et du moral. Ses oeuvres comprennent: Le Crime de Lord Arthur Savile (1887), Le Portrait de Monsieur W. H. (1889) et Salome (1893).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta obra procura reunir todos os contos de Oscar Wilde. Esta edição bilíngue reúne seus quatro livros de contos - 'O príncipe feliz e outros contos'; 'O retrato do Sr. W. H.'; 'O crime de Lorde Arthur Savile e outros contos'; e 'A casa das romãs'. Dentro desses trabalhos constam algumas histórias como 'O fantasma de Canterville', 'O pescador e sua alma' e 'O crime de Lorde Arthur Savile'. Traz contos escritos entre 1888 e 1891. A presente coletânea traz ao leitor os contos escritos entre 1888 e 1891, produzidos durante o período mais feliz, e menos turbulento, da vida do escritor Oscar Wilde, nome de um dos maiores autores da língua inglesa. Exímio contador de histórias, encantava os círculos ingleses com suas ironias, a precisão formal dos textos e, claro, com a própria presença. Aqueles que tiveram o privilégio de ouvi-lo, diziam que a voz cadenciada, bem modulada, a interpretação dramática e o carisma peculiar de Wilde eram simplesmente irresistíveis, cativando a atenção do público seleto que se reunia para assisti-lo. Sem se aprofundar em temas como diferenças entre classes sociais ou pretender dar uma conotação política aos textos, valendo-se muitas vezes de uma espécie de realismo fantástico, Oscar Wilde aborda o sofrimento brutal dos estratos mais baixos da sociedade inglesa, a distância abissal que separa a futilidade da nobreza e a miséria dos vassalos. Em seus contos, Wilde não poupa a realeza e a alta burguesia, dissecando com fina ironia os costumes e o savoir faire dessas camadas sociais, evidenciando intrigas, sortilégios, traições. Com narrativa clara e temas considerados, por vezes, extravagantes, Wilde ao mesmo tempo em que encantava a muitos, tornando-se célebre ainda em vida, irritava outros, sobretudo à alta burguesia, com sátiras e críticas leves aos costumes ingleses.
