The Picture of Dorian Gray and Other Writings by Oscar Wilde

Here in one volume are his immensely popular  novel, The Picture Of Dorian Gray ;  his last literary work, the Ballad Of  Reading Goal, a product of his own prison  experience; and four complete plays: Lady  Windermere's Fan, his first dramatic  success; An Ideal Husband, which  continued to poke fun at conventional  morality; The Importance Of Being Earnest, his  finest comedy; and Salome, a  portrait of uncontrollable love originally written in  French, now in a new translation by Richard Elman.  Every selection appears in its entirely--a  marvelous collection of outstanding works by the  incomparable Oscar Wilde, whom Max Beerbohm so aptly  labeled "a lord of language."
