Oscar Wilde

Wilde's supremely witty tales of dandies, anarchists and a murderous prophecy in London high society.

Lord Arthur Savile's Crime

it’s crazy how easily this guy took what he was told at face value and simply accepted it as the ‘truth’ and went on to act upon it as if it was a fact that could not be changed, i think it says a lot about society at the time (and now, still. this holds up to today as well)

Charming (if slightly absurd) vignette that's a great introduction to Wilde's world.

A publication of 1891, Lord Arthur Savile's Crime and Other Stories by Oscar Wilde revolves around the differences between people of various cultures and social classes. The motif of the sanctity and the priority of duty are common themes to all the stories. The collection also brings out Wilde's fascination with the supernatural and with the darker side of human nature.
