Book, Decay of Lies and Other Essays, A[LS]

Language: Brazilian Portuguese. These four essays by Oscar Wilde, in the words of the iconic writer and journalist João do Rio, who authored the translation and preface of this edition, make up the “biography of a soul” — a book that, alone, “is worth a literary epoch”. They are texts about visual arts, literature, theater and criticism that, collecting memorable phrases, celebrate aesthetics, attack moralism and highlight how the author was ahead of his time.
