Features: This year marks the centennial of Oscar Wilde's death. As one of the most important writers of the 19th century, he was the British writer, after Shakespeare, to be read and translated the most in Europe. Wilde was highly controversial both during his lifetime and after his death—he was a pioneer of aestheticism and a visionary. His eccentric fashion, experiences as a homosexual, as well as his poetry, novels, dramas, fairy tales, concise artistic criticism, and over a thousand letters that are emotionally rich and capable of serving as autobiography, all exemplify his pursuit of excellence over mediocrity. This complete collection is the first to be published in China.
