About the author

Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde was an Irish playwright, poet, and author of numerous short stories, and one novel. Known for his biting wit, and a plentitude of aphorisms, he became one of the most successful playwrights of the late Victorian era in London, and one of the greatest celebrities of his day. Several of his plays continue to be widely performed, especially The Importance of Being Earnest.

As the result of a widely covered series of trials, Wilde suffered a dramatic downfall and was imprisoned for two years hard labour after being convicted of "gross indecency" with other men. After Wilde was released from prison he set sail for Dieppe by the night ferry. He never returned to Ireland or Britain, and died in poverty.

This was a bit of a surprise to me. I've read this book many years ago as a required reading in school, but don't remember liking it. Well, I didn't remember almost anything about it. But it is quite pleasant reading material and I just might look up more information about Oscar Wilde and his work later...

Četla jsem jen Cantervillské strašidlo, mám ho v jedné knize s Obrazem Doriana Graye, a to bylo skvělé!
