«Aforismi» is a collection of aphorisms by the Irish writer Oscar Wilde, in a 61-page paperback edition in Italian.
The book gathers in brief sentences Oscar Wilde's vision of morality, society and existence. With irony and paradoxes, it exposes a restless and critical personality: beneath the apparent brilliance lies a bitter and severe gaze on life. It is a posthumous compilation that condenses Wilde's style of thought and writing.
By its classification of interest, it is suitable for readers from 10 years old interested in philosophy and humorous literature.
Oscar Fingal O'Fflahertie Wills Wilde was an Irish author, poet and playwright. After writing in different literary styles throughout the 1880s, he became one of the most popular and influential dramatists in London in the early 1890s. He was a key figure in the emerging Aestheticism movement of the late 19th century and is widely regarded as the greatest playwright of the Victorian era. Wilde is best known for his Gothic novel The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890), his epigrams, plays and bedtime stories for children, as well as his criminal conviction in 1895 for gross indecency and for practicing homosexual acts.
