Giới thiệu về sách điện tử này

In "Vera; Or, The Nihilists," Oscar Wilde intricately weaves a tale of love and political idealism against the backdrop of 19th-century Russia's revolutionary fervor. Employing his characteristic wit and rich symbolism, Wilde explores themes of identity, morality, and the struggle between individual desires and societal expectations. The play is marked by its eloquent dialogue and vivid characterizations, offering a compelling portrayal of nihilism not only as a philosophical doctrine but also as a moral quandary that permeates human relationships in a time of upheaval. Oscar Wilde, a prominent figure of the Aesthetic Movement, was known for his flamboyant style and controversial views. His encounters with various intellectual currents of his time, as well as his own experiences with societal rejection, likely influenced his exploration of nihilism in this work. Wilde's fascination with the darker sides of human nature and his critiques of Victorian morality are vividly manifested in "Vera," a reflection of both personal and cultural tensions. This play is highly recommended for readers who appreciate rich literary texts that challenge conventional norms. Wilde's masterful blending of tragedy and philosophical inquiry invites readers to reflect on the nature of sacrifice and moral conflict, making "Vera; Or, The Nihilists" not only a significant work of its time but also a timeless exploration of the human condition.

Giới thiệu tác giả

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) was a luminous figure in the literary world of the late 19th century. With an Irish heritage, Wilde studied at Trinity College, Dublin, and Magdalen College, Oxford, where he cultivated his affection for Aestheticism and crafted his public persona as a dandy. Wilde's artistic career spanned various genres, including plays, poetry, and prose, but he is most renowned for his biting wit, flamboyant style, and exploration of paradoxes in human nature. Though 'Vera; Or, The Nihilists' (1880) was his first play, Wilde truly captivated audiences with 'The Importance of Being Earnest' (1895), a quintessential example of his comedic genius and social satire. His only novel, 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' (1890), delves into themes of aestheticism, moral duplicity, and the consequences of hedonism. Wilde expounded on decadent literature, which was echoed in his collection of fairy tales 'The Happy Prince and Other Tales' (1888) and in his philosophical dialectic 'The Critic as Artist' (1891). Despite his literary success, Wilde suffered a tragic downfall due to his controversial personal life, resulting in imprisonment that irreparably damaged his health and reputation. Posthumously, Wilde's work has been recognized for its literary merit and his influence on the modernist movement. He remains a pivotal figure in the canon of English literature for his eloquence, insight, and enduring legacy of social criticism wrapped in sophisticated humor.
