The Picture of Dorian Grey. The Picture of Dorian Gray. Wilde O.

“King of Aphorism” and a master of paradox, the famous dandy and the hero of his time Oscar Wilde, an amazingly multifaceted author. His only novel that caused the scandal immediately after the publication, to this day remains a bestseller. His plays enjoy unchanging success thanks to the subtle humor of the author, brilliantly spelled out dialogues and original plots. In his fairy tales, the play of words and accurate household observations make deep humanistic ideas even more expressive. His most famous essay was written in prison, and his poems rightfully entered the treasury of British poetry.

The love of originality, inimitable humor and acute observation are surprisingly organically intertwined in the works of Oscar Wilde with the cult of beauty, love, goodness and humanism.
