WILDE
Book ID/图书代码： 00530014B76060
English Summary/英文概要： WELL OVER A CENTURY AFTER THE DEATH OF OSCAR WILDE, HE IS HAILED AS ONE OF THE GREATEST WRITERS OF COMEDY IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE, A BRAVE REBEL AGAINST CONFORMITY AND A GAY ICON.
In many ways, Wilde was a man born before his time, championing modern attitudes to personal behaviour and freedom long before these became the norm.
Though he died young, partly as a result of his cruel imprisonment, he lived life to the full, but contact with his wife and beloved children was sacrificed along the way.
This book succinctly captures many aspects of Wilde’s complex and sometimes contradictory personality, and sets the drama of his destructive relationship with Lord Alfred ‘Bosie’ Douglas in the context of the oppressive climate of Late Victorian England.
Richly illustrated with pertinent quotations as well as photographs and drawings, it is a perfect introduction to Wilde and his world.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在19世纪英国文坛巨匠奥斯卡•王尔德先生辞世后的一百多年时间里, 他仍被誉为英国文学界最伟大的喜剧作家之一、一个敢于挑战社会风俗的英勇斗士和同性恋运动的先驱。
在许多方面, 王尔德先生似乎与他所生活的那个年代格格不入, 在个人行为和自由成为社会风尚之前， 他就已是众人眼里的异端。
尽管他英年早逝（艰苦的狱中生活让他的肉体和精神饱受摧残）, 但他的一生却是充满着传奇色彩的。令人扼腕叹息的是，他的爱妻和两个心爱的儿子很早就离他而去了。
本书巧妙地捕捉了王尔德先生复杂而又矛盾的个性, 并深入解读了英国维多利亚时代末期那种闭塞，受教条约束的社会背景下，他与阿尔弗莱德•道格拉斯先生的“不寻常”关系。,在行云流水般的文字叙述之外，作者还附上了许多中肯的评论、罕见的照片以及精美的图片；总之，本书为我们打开了一扇了解王尔德先生和他文学世界的大门。(Susie)
