Intentions. Intentions. Book in English. Wilde O.

The fame of a brilliant stylist and inimitable wit Oscar Wilde (1854–1900) was not only an outstanding writer and playwright, but also a talented critic, a passionate of his life surrounding him and, above all, art, for whom he himself became a shocking revelation and challenge.

The book “Premises” is a cycle of copyright essays devoted to various issues of literature, criticism and society. This is a collection of witty remarks and at the same time a detailed aesthetic program of the writer, capable of serving as an auto -compartment for his own works. In the era of the widespread “decline of lies” under the guise of an optional salon chatter, Wilde speaks of the secret of the imagination that can subordinate the life of the whimsical logic of “sinful and self -sinneal” art, and affirms the only possible truth for himself - the truth of beauty, which stands above any rules and prejudices.
