Oscar Wilde: The Importance of being earnest

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) is an English writer who thoroughly studied all the pitfalls of family life. In his three most famous plays (Lady Windermere's Fan, The Importance of Being Earnest, An Ideal Husband), he gives the reader the right to answer the burning questions themselves: should we trust our other half unconditionally? Should we idealize our life partner or is it better to accept him with all his shortcomings? Should we forgive mistakes made in the past or mercilessly condemn, destroying what took years to build? Beautiful language, paradoxical but also logical statements, gentle humor, and the intricacy of the situations will make the reader return to this book again and again, and the comments and glossary will help him fully appreciate the charm and aphorism of the language. The book contains an unadapted text in the original language with comments and a glossary.
