Softcover. Condition: As New. A renowned eccentric, dandy, and man-about-town, Oscar Wilde was foremost a dazzling wit and dramatic genius whose plays, poems, essays, and fiction contain some of the most frequently quoted quips and passages in the English language. This volume features a wide selection of Wilde?s literary output, including the comic masterpiece The Importance of Being Earnest, an immensely popular play filled with satiric epigrams that mercilessly expose Victorian hypocrisy; The Portrait of Mr. W. H., a story proposing that Shakespeare?s sonnets were inspired by the poet?s love for a young man; The House of Pomegranates, the author?s collection of fairy tales; lectures Wilde delivered, first in the United States, where he exhorted his audiences to love beauty and art, and then in England, where he presented his impressions of America; his two major literary-theoretical works, ?The Decay of Lying? and ?The Critic as Artist?; and a selection of verse, including his great poem The Ballad of Reading Gaol, in which Wilde famously declared that ?each man kills the thing he loves.? A testament to Wilde?s incredible versatility, this collection displays his legendary wit, brilliant use of language, and penetrating insight into the human condition.

Encuadernación de tapa blanda. Condition: Nuevo. 112 pp. UN VIAJE POR EL SENTIMIENTO AMOROSO EN LA LITERATURA. «El amor es la llave maestra que abre la puerta de la felicidad.» Oliver Wendell Holmes. «El amor es la reducción del universo a una sola persona.» Víctor Hugo. «Amar es ver un milagro invisible para los demás.» François Mauriac. «Una palabra nos libera de todas las cargas y dolores de la vida. Esa palabra es amor.» Sófocles. «Ser amado de verdad te da fuerza, amar de verdad te da valor.» Lao-Tze. A partir de cartas, novelas, diarios y memorias, Guía literaria del amor ofrece un recorrido fascinante por los mejores textos que se ha escrito sobre la mayor de las pasiones: el amor. El amor llevó a Ovidio y a Stendhal a sufrir exquisitamente. En ocasiones basta una mirada o un mechón de cabello para encenderlo. En otras, resulta elusivo a pesar de todos nuestros esfuerzos. Intentar definirlo ha ocupado desde el inicio de los tiempos a filósofos como Platón y poetas como Dante. En ocasiones el amor ha cambiado el curso de la historia, como en el Egipto de Cleopatra o la Inglaterra de Enrique VIII. Deseado, conseguido o no correspondido, el amor ha dejado un rastro de joyas literarias que Claudia Casanova ha reunido en esta exquisita selección que enamorará al lector.
