The Picture of Dorian Gray
Wilde's only novel, first published in 1890, is a brilliantly designed puzzle, intended to tease conventional minds with its exploration of the myriad interrelationships between art, life and consequence. From its provocative Preface, challenging the reader to belief in 'art for art's sake', to its sensational conclusion, the story self-consciously experiments with the notion of sin as an element of design. Yet Wilde himself underestimated the consequences of his experiment, and its capacity to outrage the Victorian establishment. Its words returned to haunt him in his court appearances in 1895, and he later recalled the 'note of doom' which runs like 'a purple thread' through its carefully crafted prose.
A wonderful book! —W. B. Yeats While in one sense «The Picture of Dorian Gray» is as transparent as a medieval allegory and its structure as workmanlike as that of Marlowe's «Dr. Faustus»… in another sense it remains a puzzle: knotted, convoluted, brilliantly enigmatic. —Joyce Carol Oates A story strange in conception, strong in interest, and fitted with a tragic and ghastly climax… A remarkable book. —Julian Hawthorne Mr. Wilde's work may fairly claim to go with that of Edgar Poe. —Walter Pater

Õnnelik prints
Oscar Wilde ise on öelnud, et need on lood lastele ja lapsemeelsetele ning mingit vanuselist piirangut neil muidugi ei ole. Wilde, kes pidas oma kinnituste kohaselt kunsti kõlblusest kõrgemaks, on oma loomingus osutunud üsnagi suureks moralistiks. Omaenda elus koges ta suurt rikkust ja nägi Londoni toretsemist, samal ajal kuulus tema kogemusse ka näljahäda-järgne Iirimaa, läbi ja lõhki iirlasena säilitas ta Inglismaal omamoodi kõrvaltvaataja pilgu ning see peegeldus ka tema mõistujuttudes. Aga isegi kui neid allhoovusi ja tagamaid mitte arvestada, võib igas vanuses lugeja elada kaasa kaunitele lugudele armastusest ja eneseohverdusest, sellest, milline on tegelikult oma hingest loobumise hind ning et mõnikord avanevad südamed alles siis, kui need purunevad. Omaette väärtus on Wilde’i stiilil, sest algselt jutustas ta oma lugusid ja kuulajad läksid temaga kaasa, lastes end lummata. Need lood leiavad üha uusi lugejaid, neid lavastatakse, tõlgitakse ja avaldatakse praegugi ja küllap ka edaspidi.
