De Profundis

De Profundis (Latin: "from the depths") is a letter written by Oscar Wilde during his imprisonment in Reading Gaol, to "Bosie" (Lord Alfred Douglas).

De Profundis does not resemble any of the other works that made Wilde famous; and it's a work that often seems to make critics uncomfortable. Perhaps justly so: in the end it's a response to Wilde's imprisonment for homosexuality. In our modern context, that makes the work easy to look away from -- but it also speaks to things that concern and disturb many people, even today.

De Profundis (latina: „din adancuri”) este o scrisoare scrisa de Oscar Wilde in timpul inchisorii sale din Reading Gaol, catre „Bosie” (Lord Alfred Douglas). si este o lucrare care pare adesea sa ii faca pe critici sa nu fie confortabili. Poate pe buna dreptate: in cele din urma este un raspuns la inchisoarea lui Wilde pentru homosexualitate.
