來自深淵的吶喊: 王爾德獄中書
《來自深淵的吶喊:王爾德獄中書(160週年誕辰紀念版)》De Profundis 什麼是不能說出名字的愛? 同志運動史上最著名的審判事件 英國文學最偉大也最受爭議的作家之一,大才子王爾德的情書 「他們的邂逅是一個自小被過度溺愛的人遇上一個自小被愛得不夠的人,而這種邂逅總是極端危險。」──奧登 ★王爾德誕辰160週年紀念新譯本 ★歷來最偉大和篇幅最長的情書之一 ★同志文學經典之作 ★收錄英國詩人奧登導讀 「悲傷是人類所能企及的最高情感,生命的奧祕就是痛苦……快樂是給美麗的身體,但痛苦是給美麗的靈魂。」──王爾德 1895 年王爾德因與同性情人阿弗列.道格拉斯勳爵的交往被判有罪入獄,在瑞丁監獄坐牢期間最後幾個月寫下此封長信,信中充滿對道格拉斯愛恨交織的情緒,同時闡述了王爾德的哲學沉思、藝術觀與宗教觀,賦予「悲傷」和「痛苦」更高的意義。書中除了充滿王爾德一貫的機智諷刺妙語和優美文筆,也展現了他深沉智慧的一面。 《來自深淵的吶喊》不是一封傳統的情書,因為王爾德除了歷數道格拉斯的無情無義,還緬懷自己身敗名裂前的輝煌身影,復熱情洋溢地要求復合。本書忠實記錄了作者自招毀滅的執戀,又對人生痛苦有深沉反省,堪稱同志文學的經典之作。著名傳記家艾爾曼譽《來自深淵的吶喊》為「歷來最偉大和篇幅最長的情書之一」,此書信集於 1905 年作者死後出版。 王爾德的審判是英國司法史上最受注目的案件之一,也是同性戀平權運動史上被引用最多的案件,王爾德亦成為近代同志社群的文化偶像。在被判入獄的同時,王爾德宣告破產,並於出獄後流亡到法國,抑鬱而終,死時只有兩位朋友陪伴。此事件改編為電影《王爾德與他的情人》,由史蒂芬弗雷、裘德洛飾演王爾德與道格拉斯。 1. 本書在王爾德著名的戲劇與童話之外,揭露他的內心世界與思想,王爾德迷不可錯過。 2. 詩人奧登以心理學角度撰寫導讀,分析王爾德與道格拉斯兩人之間的戀情。 3. 書末附讀書會討論指引,方便教師上課或學生開讀書會使用。 4. 想學習寫情書、與情人吵架、如何優雅地罵人者必備。 5. 32開精裝本,質感細膩,適於典藏。 -
Importance of Being Earnest
Oscar Wilde's brilliant play makes fun of the English upper classes with light-hearted satire and dazzling humour. It is 1890's England and two young gentlemen are being somewhat limited with the truth. To inject some excitement into their lives, Mr Worthing invents a brother, Earnest, as an excuse to leave his dull country life behind him to pursue the object of his desire, the ravishing Gwendolyn. While across town Algernon Montecrieff decides to take the name Earnest, when visiting Worthing's young ward Cecily. The real fun and confusion begins when the two end up together and their deceptions are in danger of being revealed. -
笔杆子、画笔和毒药
“他把他的天才都倾注在生活里,在他的作品里只倾注了才华。” 纪德在自传《如果种子不死》中这样描述王尔德。 王尔德的生活总是比他的作品更为人所津津乐道。 在作品中,王尔德“给大多数人的是叫人落泪的喜剧,给少数人的是语言的阿拉伯图案”;在生活上,他“尽管有恶习和不幸,却保持着一种不可摧毁的天真”。 本书架构由王尔德“作品”和“生活”交织的经纬线。 意图呈现叱咤维多利亚时代的唯美主义者,奥斯卡·王尔德,如何对“才华”和“天才”做出最倨傲并且纯粹的诠释。 -
