Sous le vernis de la beauté, que vaut une âme? Dorian Gray, jeune homme d’une grâce rare, découvre le pouvoir troublant de l’image et du désir. Fasciné par la promesse d’une jeunesse qui ne flétrit pas, il s’abandonne aux plaisirs et défie les conséquences visibles—mais à quel coût invisible? Dans ce roman à la fois brillant et implacable, Oscar Wilde interroge l’esthétisme, la corruption et l’emprise de l’art, jusqu’aux confins du bien et du mal. Une invitation envoûtante à entendre le murmure d’un portrait témoin, et la confession d’une âme prête à tout pour rester belle.

The four tales gathered here reveal Oscar Wilde’s gift for blending wit, irony, and moral reflection within the form of the short story.

Dorian Gray, un joven de inigualable belleza, queda cautivado por una filosofía hedonista y realiza un deseo fatídico: que su retrato envejezca en su lugar, mientras él permanece eternamente joven.

Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray stands as one of literature's most brilliant and haunting meditations on vanity, morality, and the eternal struggle between outward appearance and inner reality.

Written in his distinctively dazzling manner, Oscar Wilde's story of a fashionable young man who sells his soul for eternal youth and beauty is the author's most popular work. The tale of Dorian Gray 's moral disintegration caused a scandal when it first appeared in 1890, but though Wilde was attacked for the novel's corrupting influence, he responded that there is, in fact, "a terrible moral in Dorian Gray ." Just a few years later, the book and the aesthetic/moral dilemma it presented became issues in the trials occasioned by Wilde's homosexual liaisons, which resulted in his imprisonment.

A medida que Lord Murchison intenta descubrir el secreto detrás de la enigmática belleza de Sibyl, se ve envuelto en una trama de intriga y pasión.

When the Otis family—brash, modern Americans—move into the ancient and supposedly haunted Canterville Chase, they’re met not with terror, but with sarcasm, oil, and detergent.

This story concerns a firework, who is one of many to be let off at the wedding of a prince and princess.

As this makes him wet, he fails to ignite and, the next day, is thrown away into a ditch.

In a town full of suffering poor people, a swallow who was left behind after his flock flew off to Egypt for the winter meets the statue of the late "Happy Prince", who has never experienced true sorrow, for he lived in a palace where sorrow was not allowed to enter. Viewing various scenes of people suffering in poverty from his tall monument, the Happy Prince asks the swallow to take the ruby from his hilt, the sapphires from his eyes, and the gold leaf covering his body to give to the poor.

Once upon a time, there was a kind and honest man named Hans. He lived alone in a tiny cottage.

Hans was so devoted to Hugh that he even gifted him whole bunches of flowers from his own garden.

"The Star-Child" by the Irish author Oscar Wilde, first published in 1891, is a fantasy story about a handsome boy who for the first ten years of his life believes that he is truly the son of a star.

The Happy Prince is one of Oscar Wilde’s most beloved and poignant fairy tales, blending rich symbolism with a heartfelt narrative about compassion, sacrifice, and love. Set high above a city, the story follows a gilded statue—the Happy Prince—who once lived in luxury but now sees the suffering of the poor from his lofty perch. With the help of a kind-hearted Swallow, the Prince gives away all he has to bring joy and relief to the needy below.

Witty playwright Oscar Wilde is most famous for his 1895 play "The Importance of Being Earnest." The two protagonists use a false identity, Earnest, as a way to escape from unwanted social obligations. However, they encounter difficulties keeping up their personas as their social circles draw closer together. Wilde drew upon what he thought were outrageous social conventions of the Victorian Era and used satire to show the absurdity of its beliefs, like how marriage was more of a boring burden than a joyous commitment.

Oscar Wilde, en El alma del hombre bajo el socialismo, no hace una defensa técnica del socialismo económico, sino una profunda reflexión sobre el alma humana y su potencial creativo. Desde una mirada de autoyuda moderna, este texto puede verse como una invitación a la autenticidad, la independencia personal y la realización interior.
