«De Profundis» is the epistolary work by Oscar Wilde, published by Plutón Ediciones in paperback (192 pages, in Spanish).
This long letter, written in prison and addressed to Lord Alfred Douglas, is an examination of conscience: Wilde reviews his life and his relationship with Douglas, meditates on pain and suffering through a humanized Jesus, and seeks a new life after his sentence.
The work was first published in 1905 by Robert Baldwin Ross, friend and literary executor of the author. This edition belongs to the Colección Eterna and the translation from English is by Benjamin Briggent.
For readers of classic literature and essays who want to discover the intimate and epistolary side of Oscar Wilde.
Oscar Fingal O'Fflahertie Wills Wilde was an Irish author, poet and playwright. After writing in different literary styles throughout the 1880s, he became one of the most popular and influential dramatists in London in the early 1890s. He was a key figure in the emerging Aestheticism movement of the late 19th century and is widely regarded as the greatest playwright of the Victorian era. Wilde is best known for his Gothic novel The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890), his epigrams, plays and bedtime stories for children, as well as his criminal conviction in 1895 for gross indecency and for practicing homosexual acts.
