A talented playwright, novelist, essayist and poet, Oscar Wilde was a brilliant conversationalist, as evidenced by many of his contemporaries, and had an inimitable sense of humor, which did not betray him even in the most difficult period of his life, when he ended up in prison. Merlin Holland, Wilde's grandson and biographer, recreates the communication style of his brilliant grandfather as convincingly as if he had actually talked to him. With a foreword by actor, director and writer Simon Callow, Commander of the Order of the British Empire.* * *
< p>“The life of Oscar Wilde has all the hallmarks of a fireworks display: first excited anticipation, then a spectacular show, then a deafening explosion, a fall—and silence. In some inexplicable way, he foresaw this in his tale of a wonderful rocket that rose as if from nowhere in a shower of sparks, exploded, fell to the ground and went out, exclaiming: “I knew I would cause a sensation.” (Merlin Holland)The publishing design is preserved in PDF A4 format.
