Description

Listen as Wilde’s statue speaks and a swallow spends itself on a city that will not look up; then as a proud child is broken into a person. Chekhov’s About Love follows in a quieter room — a feeling arriving, a life too small to keep it. Fairy Tales for Adults Volume 2 is an unabridged English audiobook of two temperatures of tale: glitter with a cut, disaster that stays ordinary. Not a bedtime hour. Grown appetite, spoken straight, Star-Child and Happy Prince still stinging.

Author

Oscar Wilde (1854–1900) was born in Dublin, took a double first at Magdalen College, Oxford, and made conversation a form of literature. The Picture of Dorian Gray is the one novel — beauty, bargain, and a portrait that keeps the score. The Importance of Being Earnest is the comedy in which nothing is earnest except the jokes. Prison and exile followed the trials. Style was an ethic. Scandal became a second plot.
