Popular Classics The Importance of Being Earnest - Wilde Oscar

Penguin Group / —
‘To lose one parent, Mr Worthing, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness …’
Coming on 6 September 2002, the team behind An Ideal Husband brings us a sumptuous classic adaptation of one of Oscar Wilde’s most famous and popular plays, The Importance of Being Earnest.
Colin Firth, Rupert Everett, Reese Witherspoon and Dame Judi Dench as the indomitable Lady Bracknell, bring The Importance of Being Earnest alive in this new film from Fragile Films, releasing from Buena Vista International.
Oscar Wilde’s brilliant play makes fun of the English upper classes with light-hearted satire and dazzling humour. It is 1890’s England and two young gentlemen are being somewhat limited with the truth. To inject some excitement into their lives, Mr Worthing invents a brother, Earnest, as an excuse to leave his dull country life behind him to pursue the object of his desire, the ravishing Gwendolyn. While across town Algernon Montecrieff decides to take the name Earnest, when visiting Worthing’s young ward Cecily. The real fun and confusion begins when the two end up together and their deceptions are in danger of being revealed.
As Wilde wrote of his most famous play:
‘It is exquisitely trivial, a delicate bubble of fancy, and it has its philosophy … that we should treat all the trivial things of life seriously, and all the serious things of life with sincere and studied triviality.’
The Importance of Being Earnest is directed by Oliver Parker and produced by Barnaby Thompson.

Wilde Oscar — Shorter Fiction, 2006 год

Shorter Fiction - Wilde Oscar

CRW Publishing / CollLibra
Oscar Wilde is remembered today primarily as a brilliant and witty playwright and the author of the novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray. As a result, his shorter pieces of fiction have tended to be neglected, which is a shame for they not only display the same kind of scathing wit, imaginative flourish and engaging narratives as his other work, but present a wider range of subjects and ideas. As well as such comic tales as The Canterville Ghost and Lord Arthur Savile’s Crime, there are the marvellous fairy stories and fantasies such as The Selfish Giant, The Happy Prince and The Star Child. The challenge and pleasure of these stories is the simultaneous appeal to both child and adult with their themes of Love, Truth and Sacrifice which are as relevant today as when they were written. In this collection are to be found some of the brightest gems from the treasure trove of Oscar Wilde’s writings.

The Complete Short Fiction - Wilde Oscar

Penguin Group / —
‘He saw a most wonderful sight. Through a little hole in the wall the children had crept in … the trees were so glad to have the children back again that they had covered themselves with blossoms’
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.
This edition includes the complete texts of Wilde’s three volumes of short fiction, together with ‘The Portrait of Mr W. H.’. Ian Small’s introduction discusses Wilde’s life, the cultural and literary background to his fiction, and the complex ways in which it can be read.
