"The Portrait of Dorian Gray" - the most famous work of Oscar Wilde, his only novel, which caused in its time a flurry of negative assessments and yet had incredible success. The main character of the novel, the handsome Dorian, - a dual figure, ambiguous. A subtle aesthete and romantic becomes a ruthless criminal, and his attempt to preserve his extraordinary beauty and youth turns out to be a failure.

Wilde's stories and fairy tales - including the famous "The Canterville Ghost", "The Happy Prince", "The Star Boy" and "The Nightingale and the Rose" - combine romance and satire on society, they are ironic and a little sad, full of grace and wit. And his fairy tales, written for adults "who have not lost the gift of joy and amazement," are touching stories of love, kindness and self-sacrifice.

"Prison Confession" - a long and bitter letter, a mournful elegy for lost greatness and a passionate plea for reconciliation, addressed by Wilde to the young Lord Alfred Douglas. This is an honest and merciless account of feelings, a deep reflection on human suffering, injustice and pain.
