حكم وأمثال أوسكار وايلد
منذ أكثر من مائة عام قال أوسكار وايلد : \"هناك شيء واحد في العالم أسوأ مما يتم الحديث عنه ، وهو الذي لا يتم الحديث عنه.\" لكن ربما يبدو هذا الكلام ذو صلة أكثر بعالمنا الحالي حيث يطلب الكثيرون الشهرة بأي ثمن. لا تزال عبارات وايلد الأنيقة وشتائمه النقدية العفوية تسبب الكثير من التسلية والإعجاب. يفوت معظمنا فرص الحصول على الكلمات الجيدة، ليجدها بعد مرور فترة طويلة على لحظة الموقف، ولكن يبدو أن وايلد لم يكن يفتقر إلى الكلمات المناسبة-الإطراء والذكاء وفي بعض الأحيان كلمات قاسية بشدة. العديد من الاقتباسات الواردة في هذا الكتاب مأخوذة من مسرحيات وروايات ومقالات وايلد التي كانت مليئة بالنكات التي ترقى إلى الفلسفة.

De Profundis
Oscar Wilde's autobiographical work on suffering, self-realization, and the artistic process
De Profundis (Latin for \"from the depths\") is Oscar Wilde's reconciliation from a life full of pleasure. In 1891 the author began an intimate relationship with the young aristocrat Lord Alfred Douglas, known to his friends as Bosie. This affair led to speculations about Wilde's sexuality just as his career was reaching its apex. Ultimately, Bosie's father, the powerful Marquess of Queensberry, accused Wilde of homosexuality. As this conduct was considered a \"gross indecency\" punishable by hard labor, this was a serious charge, and one that ultimately landed Wilde in prison.
It wasn't until January of 1897 that Wilde began to write from his cell. De Profundis, a scathing indictment of his former lover, is the letter that Wilde wrote to Bosie from prison. In addition to detailing the wrongs visited on Wilde by Bosie and his family, De Profundis traces the spiritual growth that Wilde experiences in prison. Having lost everything he holds dear, Wilde transforms his hardship into art.
