«Aforismi» is Oscar Wilde's collection of aphorisms, published by Newton Compton Editori in paperback (125 pages, in Italian).
A collection of brief sayings in which Oscar Wilde condenses his critical view of Victorian society: with irony and provocation he addresses life, women, morality, art and society, and combats mediocrity and prejudice with sharp phrases that have retained their relevance.
The Italian edition, edited by Riccardo Reim, includes an essay by James Joyce and belongs to Newton Compton's Live series.
For readers of essays and aphorisms who want to approach Oscar Wilde's thought in brief doses.
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.
