Човек, толкова измъчен, колкото и обичан, Оскар Уайлд (1854 - 1900) преодолява живота на необикновени възходи и падения, за да стане световноизвестен драматург, писател и поет. Запомнен най-вече с романа Портретът на Дориан Грей, пиесата Значението да бъдеш сериозен и широка гама изключително цитирани епиграми, той е един от най-влиятелните писатели от Викторианската епоха. Работата на Оскар Уайлд е изпълнена с прозренията на човек, който притежава дълбоко разбиране както за положителните страни, така и за опасностите на обществото. Критикуван за това, което се възприема като женствена природа и потиснат от до голяма ... |

Complete and unabridged. A pocket sized book - 10 x 15.5 cm. ... The four great comedies of Oscar Wilde, "Lady Windermere's Fan", "A Woman of No Importance", "An Ideal Husband" and "The Importance of Being Earnest", were all written at the height of the controversial Irish author's powers in his last, doomed decade, the 1890s. They remain among the most-loved, and most-quoted, of all drama in the English language. Along with Salome, his darkly decadent dramatization of the Bible story, these immortal plays continue to pack theatres, and have been adapted for every kind of ... |

"The Call of the Wild" tells the story of Buck, a domestic dog who is kidnapped from his home in California and forced to pull sleds in the Arctic wasteland.
