«El alma del hombre bajo el socialismo» is Oscar Wilde's essay published by Tusquets in paperback, 80 pages, in Spanish.
In the essay, Wilde defends a socialism that, by abolishing private property, frees the individual from working for others and allows him to develop his passions. He criticises conformism and the institutions that impose uniformity, such as marriage and the family, and advocates a society that protects the singularity of each person.
The work was originally written in 1891 under the title «The Soul of Man under Socialism». This Tusquets edition belongs to the Cuadernos Ínfimos collection.
Recommended for readers interested in political philosophy, social criticism and the thought of Oscar Wilde.
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.
