Oscar Wilde

Nicholas Frankel presents a revisionary account of Oscar Wilde’s final years, spent in poverty and exile in Europe following his release from an English prison for the crime of gross indecency between men. Despite repeated setbacks and open hostility, Wilde—unapologetic and even defiant—attempted to rebuild himself as a man, and a man of letters.

Nicholas Frankel prezinta o relatare revizuita a ultimilor ani ai lui Oscar Wilde, petrecuti in saracie si exil in Europa, dupa eliberarea sa dintr-o inchisoare engleza pentru crima de indecenta grosolana intre barbati. In ciuda esecurilor repetate si a ostilitatii deschise, Wilde - fara scuze si chiar sfidator - a incercat sa se reconstruiasca ca om si om de litere.
