«Oscar Wilde» is the portrait that André Gide dedicated to Oscar Wilde, published by Lumen in paperback (123 pages, in Spanish).
André Gide does not offer a conventional biography of Oscar Wilde, but two complementary texts: an elegy written shortly after the writer's death and a reading of the work «De Profundis», which Wilde wrote in prison. The whole addresses the human and artistic dimension of Oscar Wilde through the gaze of another great writer of his time.
The edition is illustrated, was published in 2000 and falls within the genre of biography and essay.
A title for readers interested in Oscar Wilde and in literary portraits drawn by an author of his time.
André Paul Guillaume Gide was a French author whose writing spanned a wide variety of styles and topics. He was awarded the 1947 Nobel Prize in Literature. Gide's career ranged from his beginnings in the symbolist movement to criticising imperialism between the two World Wars. Author of more than 50 books, he was described in his New York Times obituary as "France's greatest contemporary man of letters" and "judged the greatest French writer of this century by the literary cognoscenti."
