"De Profundis" è una lunga lettera che Oscar Wilde scrisse al suo compagno Alfred Douglas nel 1897. Wilde era stato processato ed incarcerato per omosessualità e scrisse il "De Profundis" dalla sua cella. È una lettera intensamente personale che indaga le fasi del dolore e intreccia il tema religioso con quello dell'arte. Fu pubblicata nel 1905, cinque anni dopo la morte di Wilde, con il titolo latino "De Profundis" che si traduce in "dal profondo". Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) è stato un drammaturgo, romanziere, saggista e poeta irlandese.

La storia, descritta con uno stile velatamente ironico ma delicato, è anche improntata a un certo raffinato decadentismo, tipico di Wilde. Il breve racconto (non più di quattro o cinque pagine) narra la storia di un giovane bello e di modeste risorse che, grazie ad un incredibile, quanto inaspettato colpo di fortuna, riesce ad arricchirsi ed a coronare il suo sogno d'amore. Il gioco della narrazione sta proprio nel finale totalmente a sorpresa che ribalta improvvisamente le prospettive che avevano fino ad un instante prima ingannato il lettore.

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) fu un drammaturgo, romanziere, saggista e poeta irlandese, autore de "Il ritratto di Dorian Gray" e "L'importanza di chiamarsi Ernesto", per nominare solo un paio delle sue opere più conosciute. Si pensava che fosse omosessuale e fu molto osteggiato in vita. Morì a Parigi all'età di 46 anni. Si dice che Oscar Wilde abbia affermato che queste favole non erano "destinate né al bambino britannico né al pubblico britannico".

Oscar Wilde är ihågkommen som en av de roligaste sinnen någonsin, tack vare hans provokativa stil och humor. På 1890-talet, han är en av Londons mest populära dramatiker; Hans stora verk är Mister Ernest och den mörka och fantastiska Dorian Grays porträtt. Hans skrifter entwine temat skönhet, dekadens och dubbelspel, vilket gör honom mer än en färgglad provokatör i det viktorianska samhället. Detta skulle så småningom leda till en mycket offentlig rättegång efter att han anklagades för sodomi.

The most renowned and wittiest of Oscar Wilde's comedies, The Importance of Being Earnest ridicules Victorian sensibilities and is still strikingly relevant to this day. This full-cast audio adaptation featuring Tim Brooke-Taylor as Lady Bracknell is unique yet at the same time reassuringly familiar, with wonderful performances from the Offstage Theatre Group.

The American Otis family moves into the old English country house Canterville Chase. They are warned that the house is haunted before they move in but are unconcerned at first. They soon accept that the ghost is real but are not frightened by it. The ghost, who had been frightening all those who stayed at Canterville Chase for 300 years, takes the Americans' unwillingness to be scared by him as a great insult. He grows to despise them all, except for the teenage daughter, Virginia, who he feels is different from the rest of her family.

Over 120 years after Oscar Wilde submitted The Picture of Dorian Gray for publication, the uncensored version of his novel appears here for the first time in audio. This volume restores material, including instances of graphic homosexual content, removed by the novel's first editor, who feared it would be "offensive" to Victorians.

In this celebrated work, his only novel, Wilde forged a devastating portrait of the effects of evil and debauchery on a young aesthete in late 19th-century England. Combining elements of the Gothic horror novel and decadent French fiction, the book centers on a striking premise: As Dorian Gray sinks into a life of crime and gross sensuality, his body retains perfect youth and vigor while his recently painted portrait grows day by day into a hideous record of evil, which he must keep hidden from the world.

Oscar Wilde’s delightful story comes to life with vivid performances by Mark Redfield and Mackenzie Menter (as Virginia), with an original music score by Jennifer Rouse. One of the first stories Wilde published in 1887, “The Canterville Ghost” tells the story of an American family that moves into a haunted country house in England. At first disbelieving in ghosts, the family soon accepts, and then combats, the ghostly antics of Sir Simon de Canterville.

Long before he'd produced any of his great works, Oscar Wilde was already famous for being famous. Armed only with some witty epigrams, a carefully crafted persona and his genius for self-promotion, he had conquered America and transformed himself from nobody to star. This radio collection opens with four plays from Radio 4's Born to be Wilde season, offering a 21st-century perspective on the making of one of the first true celebrities. First up are two sparkling and surprising productions of his two most popular comedies, marking the peak of his theatrical career.

Golden Voice narrator Simon Jones perfectly narrates these sweet, tender fairy stories about princes, giants, nightingales, and roses. The collection begins with the timeless story of the Happy Prince, a young nobleman who in life sought only pleasure but in death, as a gold-encrusted statue, provides help to those in need.

If we respond to suffering with love and acceptance instead of hate and bitterness, we will turn it to our benefit. Wilde teaches us the alchemy by which anguish can be transmuted into empathy and art. Today, with depression and despair afflicting so many - particularly creative and sensitive people - Wilde's reflections are more vital than ever.
