«La importancia de ser socialista» is Oscar Wilde's philosophical essay, published by Rey Lear in paperback (88 pages, in Spanish).
Oscar Wilde argues that abolishing private property, as socialism proposes, would lead to full individualism, which he considers the ideal state of the human being. The text uses the thesis to launch witty paradoxes about money, poverty, the press and public opinion.
It is number 38 in the Breviarios collection from Rey Lear. Translated by Óscar Palmer; Spanish edition of the English original, published in 2011.
For essay and philosophy readers interested in social criticism with humour and 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.
