This is the first time an Irish publisher has produced an edition of these stories by a canonical Irish author, and no expense is spared: gorgeous paper, linen-effect cover, gold foil, cloth head-and-tail band and a ribbon bookmark adorn the book. In 1888, the famous queer Irish poet and playwright Oscar Wilde published a collection of bedtime stories for children.

Feeling both classic and fresh, timeless and modern, Lauren O’Hara’s delicate, rich colour illustrations bring this cornerstone of children's literature to life for readers of all ages.

Oscar Wilde's surreal and haunting story of a beautiful young man who bargains his soul for eternal youth, now freshly repackaged for the Union Square & Co. Signature Clothbound Editions line. When handsome young Dorian Gray sees a painter’s stunning portrait of him, he is transfixed by its reflection of his own beauty. He is also troubled by the knowledge that the image in the painting will remain forever youthful and handsome while he himself will grow older and less desirable. He wishes aloud that the roles were reversed, saying that he would give his soul if only the painting would suffer the ravages of time and he were to remain forever young. From that point on, Dorian lives a life of hedonistic indulgence, knowing that only the painting will show his moral corruption. This edition also includes four additional stories from Oscar Wilde's fairy tale collection, A House of Pomegranates.

Celebrated as the writer of The Picture of Dorian Gray and The Importance of Being Earnest, Oscar Wilde is equally beloved for his fairy tales, written ‘partly for children and partly for those who have kept the childlike faculties of wonder and joy’. With warmth, tenderness and quiet wit, these fables have moved and delighted for generations. In far-off kingdoms and ocean realms, in the company of giants and nightingales, Wilde speaks of heartbreak and redemption, of cruelty and compassion, of love lost, of love gained, of love everlasting. Rediscover here the complete stories from The Happy Prince and The House of Pomegranates, Wilde’s two fairy tale collections. Wilde's children's stories are splendid ... As explanations of the world, fairy stories tell us what science and philosophy cannot and need not. There are different ways of knowingJeanette Winterson

Dos obras imprescindibles del teatro ingl s del siglo XIX. Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) es para muchos la figura emblem tica del dandi ingl s. Pero esa imagen del artista del esteticismo extremado tambi n se vincula a la figura perseguida por la doble moral dominante de su tiempo. Durante d cadas despu s de su muerte, Wilde fue objeto de controversia y, a pesar de la condena judicial y moral a la que fue sometido, el inter s del p blico por su obra no decreci . Su producci n abarca casi todos los g neros literarios (novela, cuento, ensayo, poes a), pero es en sus obras teatrales donde despliega todo su talento art stico, como lo demuestran La importancia de llamarse Ernesto y El abanico de Lady Windermere. Wilde se sirvi en ellas de las convenciones y temas del teatro de su tiempo, especialmente del melodrama y de la comedia de costumbres del teatro cl sico ingl s, pero, gracias al ingenio verbal que le caracterizaba y a su singular capacidad para re rse de la realidad circundante sin causar la reacci n negativa del p blico, logr trascender sus modelos y dignificar un g nero que se hallaba en decadencia art stica. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Two essential works of 19th-century English theater. Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) is widely regarded as the emblematic figure of the English dandy. Yet this image of an artist devoted to extreme aestheticism is also tied to a man persecuted by the dominant double standards of his time. For decades after his death, Wilde remained a controversial figure, and despite the moral and legal condemnation he faced, public interest in his work never waned. His literary output spans nearly every genre (novel, short story, essay, poetry), but it's in his plays that Wilde's artistic brilliance truly shines, as seen in The Importance of Being Earnest and Lady Windermere's Fan. Drawing on the conventions and themes of his era's theater--especially melodrama and the comedy of manners from classic English drama--Wilde used his signature wit and unique ability to satirize reality without alienating audiences to elevate and revitalize a genre in artistic decline.
