EXCEPTIONAL UNABRIDGED COLLECTION

Read one of the greatest masterpieces of all time in a beautiful edition.

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) was an Irish author, playwright and poet, who built an esthete and hedonist dandy character.
Inseparable from his huge literary talent, his extraordinary personality, biting wit, flamboyant dress and glittering conversation ensured his fame.

Arguably the greatest farcical comedy in English, The Importance of Being Earnest, made a triumph in London since its premiere performance in 1895 and still delights readers more than a century later, with its mistaken identities, secret engagements, and lovers entanglements from Victorian England.

Cecily Cardew and Gwendolen Fairfax are both in love with the same mythical suitor. Jack Worthing has wooed Gewndolen as Ernest while Algernon has also posed as Ernest to win the heart of Jack's ward, Cecily.

Complications happen when all four arrive at Jack's country home on the same weekend. Only a senile nursemaid and an old discarded hand-bag can save the day!

A light-hearted satire of the absurdity of conventions, this comic play features an unforgettable cast of characters who speak nonsense twisted into fantasy, with provocative observations.

A sparkling masterpiece of Oscar Wilde at the height of his art, which will delight readers of all ages.
