Oscar Wilde viver 46 anos para o prazer. Conheceu a glória e a
decadência. Orador brilhante, poeta e dramaturgo de sucesso, seu único
romance , O retrato de Dorian Gray (1890), é uma obra sublime sobre a
corrupção da alma. Dândi por excelência, seus cabelos escuros divididos
ao meio, o paletó de veludo, a bengala e os sapatos de verniz se
tornaram sua marca registrada. Arguto observador da burguesia, lapidou
alguns dos mais espirituosos aforismos da língua inglesa. A condenação
por atentado ao pudor foi um golpe em sua vida. Os dois anos passados na
prisão, que deram origem ao De profundis, arrasaram sua saúde. Falido,
repelido pela mulher e por Bosie, seu amante, Wilde sucumbiu. Só lhe
restou a glória literária.
