Book excerpt: The charming aesthete Esmé Amarinthe and his beautiful young acolyte Reggie Hastings live for art and artifice and reject all that is natural and "middle-class". When in the society of their peers, Esmé and Reggie elucidate and pontificate through endless epigrams and ironies that shock and entertain.But when a very real proposition of marriage to a wealthy widow enters the equation, Reggie wonders if he should go through with it, or continue his life of passionate paradox with Mr. Amarinthe.Robert Hichen's satire of Oscar Wilde is a romp that skewers the aesthetic ideals of the era while at the same time delighting in them.

Download or read book The Green Carnation written by R. Hichens and published by . This book was released on 2017-03-26 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published anonymously in 1894, The Green Carnation created a scandal that contributed to Oscar Wilde's downfall and was withdrawn from print for many years afterwards. Hichens was a friend of Wilde, but in love with 'Bosie'. He exacted revenge for his frustrated feelings by assiduously, and secretly, noting down their conversations, both public and more intimate and using them in this cruel satire on Wilde and his circle. Despite the less than sublime motivation behind its creation, the novel nevertheless preserves many examples of Wilde's brilliant wit which may have been otherwise lost to us and no one who loves his work should neglect this curious Edwardian production.

Book excerpt: He slipped a green carnation into his evening coat, fixed it in its place with a pin, and looked at himself in the glass, the long glass that stood near the window of his London bedroom. The summer evening was so bright that he could see his double clearly, even though it was just upon seven o'clock. There he stood in his favourite and most characteristic attitude, with his left knee slightly bent, and his arms hanging at his sides, gazing, as a woman gazes at herself before she starts for a party.

Download or read book THE GREEN CARNATION written by Robert Hichens and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2010-12-02 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published anonymously in 1894, the brilliant, biting novel THE GREEN CARNATION by Robert Hichens (whose leading characters were based on Oscar Wilde and Lord Alfred 'Bosie' Douglas, whom he personally knew), was an instant 'succès de scandale' on both sides of the Atlantic. However, under pressure from the authorities it was withdrawn from publication in 1895. The reviewer for The Observer wrote "THE GREEN CARNATION will be read and discussed by everyone... nothing so impudent, so bold, or so delicious has been printed these many years." Robert Hichens went on to write more than forty additional books during his lifetime. We are proud to make THE GREEN CARNATION available to the public in this special volume - it will make the perfect addition to any collection or library. The book is edited, with a Foreword, by playwright Anthony Wynn.

There he meets Mitko, a charismatic young hustler, and pays him for sex. He returns to Mitko again and again over the next few months, drawn by hunger and loneliness and risk, and finds himself ensnared in a relationship in which lust leads to mutual predation, and tenderness can transform into violence. As he struggles to reconcile his longing with the anguish it creates, he’s forced to grapple with his own fraught history, the world of his southern childhood where to be queer was to be a pariah. There are unnerving similarities between his past and the foreign country he finds himself in, a country whose geography and griefs he discovers as he learns more of Mitko’s own narrative, his private history of illness, exploitation, and want. What Belongs to You is a stunning debut novel of desire and its consequences. With lyric intensity and startling eroticism, Garth Greenwell has created an indelible story about the ways in which our pasts and cultures, our scars and shames can shape who we are and determine how we love. A conversation between Garth Greenwell and Hanya Yanagihara is included inside the e-book edition.
