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.
Download or read book Contos Completos de Oscar Wilde written by Oscar Wilde and published by Editora Landmark LTDA. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 598 pages. 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.

Download or read book The Portrait of Mr W H written by Oscar Wilde and published by Lindhardt og Ringhof. This book was released on 2022-05-16 with total page 21 pages. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 30th Anniversary Edition with a new introduction by Michael Federici! Throughout his career, whether as a man of letters, professor, soldier, journalist, novelist, or world traveler, Russell Kirk found himself in the thick of the intellectual controversies of his age. In The Politics of Prudence, his twenty-ninth book (and the last to be published during his lifetime), Kirk endeavors to defend a truly conservative "prudential politics," as opposed to the "ideological politics" now often advanced by self-identified conservatives and those with whom they are allied, including libertarians and neoconservatives. Kirk lays out, in separate chapters, ten principles, events, thinkers, and books that have defined and shaped the American conservative mind and heart. He also examines the difficulties posed for conservatives by increasing political and economic centralization, imprudent foreign policy, educational decline, and other symptoms of cultural decay.
