«La importancia de llamarse Ernesto» is Oscar Wilde's theatrical comedy, published by Edimat Libros in paperback (136 pages, in Spanish).
In high Victorian society, two gentlemen pretend to be called Ernesto to escape their obligations, but the tangle grows when their fiancées want to meet the man behind that name. The play uses the double life and misunderstandings as a satire of hypocrisy, marriage and appearances, with dialogues full of irony.
«La importancia de llamarse Ernesto» belongs to number 70 of the Clásicos de la literatura universal collection. The translation of this edition is by Ana Isabel Perea.
Aimed at literature students and readers who enjoy classical theatre, comedy of manners and Oscar Wilde's irony.
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.
