Wilde O., The Importance of Being Earnest. and Other Plays � 2005 (Enriched Classic)

This is how Oscar Wilde described the philosophy of `The Importance of Being Earnest`, his most sparkling, witty and light-hearted play of aristocratic manners and high society. To avoid family duties, Algernon Moncrieff, a bachelor-about-town, has invented Bunbury, a sick relative who frequently calls him away. His friend Jack Worthing has invented a wicked brother called Ernest to disguise his own misdemeanours. When Algernon poses as Ernest, confusion takes a hold and it takes the discovery of an old black handbag before Jack and Algernon can discover the truth behind the deceit. In a brilliant expose of social follies, Oscar Wilde has written the most delightful, timeless comedy of them all.

Wilde O., The Picture of Dorian Gray � 1996 (Wordsworth classics)

Wilde`s only novel, first published in 1890, is a brilliantly designed puzzle, intended to tease conventional minds with its exploration of the myriad interrelationships between art, life, and consequence. From its provocative Preface, challenging the reader to believe in `art for art`s sake`, to its sensational conclusion, the story self-consciously experiments with the notion of sin as an element of design. Yet Wilde himself underestimated the consequences of his experiment, and its capacity to outrage the Victorian establishment. Its words returned to haunt him in his court appearances in 1895, and he later recalled the `note of doom` which runs like `a purple thread` through its carefully crafted prose.

The first of Oscar Wilde`s dramas, the 1892 play attests to the author`s legendary reputation as a wit and keen observer of ironic situations. In "Lady Windermere`s Fan", Wilde offers a splendidly satirical view of society`s obsessive regard for appearances rather than reality.

Wilde O., The Happy Prince and Other Stories � 1994 (Penguin Popular Classics)

High above the city, on a tall column, stood the statue of the Happy Prince. He was covered with thin leaves of fine gold, for eyes he had two bright sapphires, and a large red ruby shone brightly on his sword-hilt. He was very much admired indeed. "He is as beautiful as a weathercock", said one of the Town Councillors, who wished to gain a reputation for having artistic tastes. "Only not quite so useful", he added because he was afraid that people may think him unpractical, which he really was not. "Why can't you be like the Happy Prince?" asked a sensible mother of her little boy who was crying for the moon. "The Happy Prince never dreams of crying for anything"

Wilde O., The Ballad of Reading Gaol � 1978

The Ballad of Reading Gaol is a heartfelt cry against Man's inhumanity to Man. The legal violence of the hangman's rope, the denial of everything to the condemned expect death, the coldness and terror as the final unspoken act takes place. The starkness of Masereel's woodcuts add a sad and lonely dimension to this famous poem.
