Lord Arthur Savile faces an unusual dilemma: a chiromancer reveals that his future includes a murder, just before his wedding. Determined to resolve this inconvenience before getting married, Arthur embarks on a series of comical and failed attempts to fulfill his destiny. This work by Oscar Wilde, full of irony and humor, is a brilliant critique of superstition and a sample of the author's wit.
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.
