Description: 'I thought life was going to be a brilliant comedy, and you were to be one of the many graceful figures in it.' While imprisoned in 1895-7 for gross indecency, the brilliant poet and playwright Oscar Wilde wrote a long, impassioned letter to his estranged young lover, Lord Alfred Douglas. Later published as De Profundis, Wilde's letter describes the unbearable pains and blissful pleasures of his love, as well as his views on art, Christianity, and incarceration. Heavily abridged in most editions, De Profundis is here reproduced in full, a telling insight into the charismatic and sensitive author's life and times.

Emmy de Reus (nyneve) | 20401 comments The Amazon-link is for the 5-volumed boxset with a different ISBN, so we cannot use it to add the requested book.

Can you provide another acceptable link?
Alternatively, if you have the book, we can use a scan/photo of your copy of the cover and the page with the publication information, the book's colofon page.
You can upload a scan/photo of your own to the "more photos..." section of your profile: https://www.goodreads.com/photo/new), section More photos.. Make sure you state the source of the photo in the text and that your account settings are public (not private).

We don't just need a cover image, but we need to check/verify the book's details, e.g. isbn and/or asin, etc. etc.
