This price is an insult - By: Fredi Damiani, 08 Apr 2008 
to the true genius of this man. He understood it like no other to capture the spirit of his century, to describe the true face of womanhood & to portrait society as a whole with alll his flaws & good sides. Having only read his main oeuvre, i.e. The Picture of Dorian Gray, & few of his short stories, I could impossibly comment on his poetical work. Yet, his prose work identifies him as a true genius & the price of this book doesn't do justice to his life work. Still, to the morallly flexible, lacking every sense of honor & respect for this man's art, I strongly advise the seize the occasion & order the book. It's a must-have.
Superb - By: , 31 Jul 2000 Wilde's personal style & sparkling wit make this collection a treasure. Wilde is undoubtedly the greatest playwright this country has ever produced. Buy it.
Oscar Wilde--the BOSS... - By: akasa74@hotmail.com, 12 Feb 2000 Oscar Wilde's consummate skill in shedding light on the deepest recesses of the human psyche & his inimitable wit can only be compared to living a thousand lives in the twinkling of an eye... Shakespeare's reincarnation, perhaps...?
Works of true genius - By: , 18 Sep 1999 Wilde can not be beaten - whether it is his passionate poetry, witty plays or his masterpieces - 'The Picture of Dorian Grey' & the breathtaking letter "De Profundis". He is sensual & so human that one can not help but cry & laugh along with his work. His philosophy, doctrines & morals combine with a tremendous feel for the beautiful & entertaining to produce the most remarkable works. So much love & pain is evident in alll his pieces that they do not only affect one as fascinating examples of art but are instead felt in one's life.
