""Salom A Tragedy in One Act"" is a play written by Oscar Wilde in 1891, inspired by the biblical story of Salome. Set in the court of King Herod, the play unfolds as a dark and provocative tale of desire, power, and revenge. At the center of the drama is Princess Salom , who becomes infatuated with John the Baptist, also known as Jokanaan. When Jokanaan rejects her advances, Salom 's obsession turns to a deadly fixation, leading to a chilling climax of dance, seduction, and murder. Wilde's ""Salom "" is characterized by its rich symbolism, lush language, and exploration of taboo themes such as lust, decadence, and the corrupting influence of power. The play's evocative imagery and psychological depth have cemented its status as a classic of fin-de-si cle literature, captivating audiences with its mesmerizing blend of beauty and horror.

Den stilige Dorian Gray besitter en skönhet som är få förunnad. Han tycks aldrig åldras och har en omåttlig förkärlek för det ytligt vackra. Men vad de flesta inte vet är att han har en mörk hemlighet; ett porträtt, undangömt, som visar hans verkliga jag. Där hans eviga ungdom inte alls är evig och där hans synder håller på att forma honom till oigenkännlighet. När det dåliga samvetet stötvis gör sig påmint får det Dorian att vackla. Kan han på något sätt rädda sin själ, innan den går hopplöst förlorad? Med allt det onda som han gjort, är det tveksamt om det finns någon återvändo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The complete short stories of the masterful Irish writer. "In front of him there was a hideous specter, as motionless as a statue " Fairy tales, ghost stories, detective fiction and comedies of manners--the stories collected in this volume made Oscar Wilde's name as a writer of fiction, showing breathtaking dexterity in a wide range of literary styles. Victorian moral justice is comically inverted in "Lord Arthur Savile's Crime" and "The Canterville Ghost," and society's materialism comes under sharp, humorous criticism in "The Model Millionaire," while "The Happy Prince" and "The Nightingale and the Rose" are hauntingly melancholic in their magical evocations of selfless love. These small masterpieces convey the brilliance of Wilde's vision, exploring complex moral issues through an elegant juxtaposition of wit and sentiment.

A timeless classic of deceptively simplistic and fantastical stories. Originally published by Oscar Wilde in 1888, The Happy Prince and Other Tales is a collection of five short stories packed with heartfelt meaning for children and adults alike. This is a fine new edition of moral tales of selflessness, friendship, sacrifice, and kindness- and the dangers of not having them. Wilde's eloquent and poetic writing makes these stories evoke a world in which tenderness and compassion are often endangered by greed, selfishness, and callousness. This new edition includes a new foreword by award-winning author Rick Wilber, and appeals to an entirely new generation of children, while imparting wisdom that withstands the test of time.
