Oscar Wilde presents a libertarian socialist view of the economic disparities caused by capitalism, that lead to futile acts of charity instead of definitive solutions. Wilde encourages an overhaul of the structures that allow such inequalities to exist. The Soul of Man Under Socialism is an insightful look into Wilde's personal and political beliefs. Within the essay he emphasizes individualism over group think, using Jesus Christ as a prime example. He also offers a detailed critique of capitalist societies that revel in charity, instead of eliminating its need. Poverty cannot be fought with kindness; it requires genuine compassion backed by policy. Wilde's perspective was heavily influenced by the writings of Peter Kropotkin, a Russian anarchist and socialist. In The Soul of Man Under Socialism, Wilde invokes powerful ideas that call for accountability and drastic change. It's a raw declaration of his contemporary anarchist views. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Soul of Man Under Socialism is both modern and readable.

Il ritratto di Dorian Gray è l'opera più famosa di Oscar Wilde. Pubblicata per la prima volta sul Lippincott's Monthly Magazine del luglio 1890 fu accolta dalla critica con scandalo e furiose polemiche. Nell'Inghilterra della regina Vittoria non si poteva scrivere un'opera in cui si affermava la supremazia dell'artista sulle leggi morali; la falsità di ogni credo che limiti la facoltà di godere in tutti i modi possibili; la necessità di ricercare tutto ciò che vi è al mondo di bello, raro e intenso. Nonostante un iniziale disorientamento il pubblico, e non solo quello inglese, seppe riconoscere il valore di questo affascinante apologo e ne decretò il successo che dura ancora oggi. Oscar Wilde seppe veramente vivere la propria vita come un'opera d'arte ed è questo che fa di lui un simbolo, suggestivo e affascinante, anche in un'epoca disincatata come la nostra.
