Román rozpráva o túžbe po večnej mladosti a kráse. Maliar Basil Hallward namaľuje portrét osemnásťročného Doriana Graya, mladíka s krásnou tvárou a čistou dušou. Lord Henry Wotton však Dorianovi zdôrazňuje, že mladosť a fyzická krása sú pominuteľné, a nabáda ho, aby ich naplno využil. Aké aktuálne – v dnešnom čase honby za mladosťou a krásou!

Čas vykĺbil sa. Mám ho vrátiť naspäť. Dočerta, na toto som prišiel na svet?

Básnickú „hru hier", kladúcu večnú otázku, či má pri náprave sveta šancu jednotlivec, si prečítate na dúšok ako tú najnapínavejšiu detektívku.

The Importance of Being Earnest is both Oscar Wilde's most important and funniest play. As the subtitle suggests there is more to this play than its farcical nature suggests. Wilde calls into question the nature of identity while poking fun at proper British manners and the aristocracy. Even after one hundred years, The Importance of Being Earnest continues to be the standard by which all other farces are judged. Wilder Publications is a green publisher.

One of the leading figures of the English Romantic movement, and an inspiration for many future poets, John Keats' works such as "Ode to a Nightingale," "To Autumn," and "Ode on a Grecian Urn" are among the best-loved poems of all time. In this new biography, Robert Mighall charts the life of this brilliant poet, from the premature deaths of both his parents, to his early writings and unkind treatment from critics, his travels and friendship with the Shelleys, and his untimely death at the age of 25. Interspersed in his life story are extracts from Keats’s poems to offer a unique insight into both the man and his work.
