Résumé

"And holding wave and wind in boy’s despitePeered from his dripping seat across the wet and stormy night."Charmides is a beautiful and epic poem rooted in Greek mythology. Whether prose or poetry, drama or tragedy, Oscar Wilde’s writing never fails to fascinate and capture one’s attention. Displaying a different side to the famous Irish writer, this book of poems is no exception. A short but great read for any Wilde fan.Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) was an Irish playwright, novelist, essayist, and poet, famous for ‘The Picture of Dorian Gray’ and ‘The Importance of Being Earnest’ to name a couple. He died in Paris at the age of 46.'The Importance of Being Earnest' is Oscar Wilde’s most popular and enduring play. Poking fun at the ridiculousness of human nature, especially that of the Victorian elite, it is both incredibly clever and undeniably silly. It has been performed and made into films and for television many times, most recently in the 2002 film starring Colin Firth, Reese Witherspoon and Judi Dench.

Auteur

Oscar Wilde (auteur)

Né à Dublin, Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) suit de brillantes études, notamment au Trinity College. Personnage de dandy à l'esprit vif et provocateur, il se forge rapidement une réputation parmi la haute société londonienne et se fait l'apôtre de l'esthétisme dans ses poèmes ou ses pièces de théâtre. Il devient célèbre avec Le Portrait de Dorian Gray, publié en 1891, et monte Salomé, à Paris. Il est condamné pour homosexualité en 1895 à deux ans de prison et aux travaux forcés. Il meurt en 1900 dans la misère à Paris d'une pneumonie.
