Description

A chiromantist tells Lord Arthur Savile he must commit a murder, and the young man treats the prophecy as a duty to clear before he can marry. Wilde's opening tale leads a collection that also holds The Canterville Ghost, The Sphinx Without a Secret, The Model Millionaire, and The Portrait of Mr. W.H. Humour turns darker as fate, fraud, and ghostly farce share the same polished voice.

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.
