«La importancia de llamarse Ernesto / El abanico de Lady Windermere» is the theatre volume by Oscar Wilde published by Austral in paperback.
This volume brings together two works of nineteenth-century English theatre. Oscar Wilde draws on the comedy of manners and melodrama to portray the high society of his time, and his verbal wit turns satire into a mechanism that questions social hypocrisy with a gentle, humorous tone.

For fans of the theatrical genre and of Oscar Wilde's work, especially his comedies set in nineteenth-century England.
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.
