Oscar Wilde was born in 1854 in Dublin in Ireland. He went to university at Trinity College Dublin and Oxford. He moved to London. As young man, Oscar was brilliant and eccentric, with his long hair and extravagant clothes. He began writing poetry but his most famous works are his plays, especially comedies like “Lady Windermere’s Fan“ (1892) and “The Importance of Being Earnest” (1895) or the more serious “Salome” (1894). Like his conversations, his plays were full of quick humour, such as: “Nowadays, people know the price of everything and the value of nothing”. Wilde’s career was stopped be scandal. He was sent to prison for homosexuality. When he came out of prison, he moved to Paris and died a broken men in 1900. “The Picture of Dorian Gray is Oscar Wilde’s only novel and is a brilliant story about moral decadence.

"In this world there are only two tragedies. One is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it."
