«Salomé: Drama em um acto» is the one-act tragedy by Oscar Wilde published by Editorial Estampa in paperback, with 112 pages, in Portuguese.
Oscar Wilde recreates the biblical episode of Salomé, stepdaughter of Herod Antipas, whose dance of the seven veils before the tetrarch ends in the request for the head of John the Baptist. Written with biblical cadences and unsettling imagery, it creates a feverish atmosphere and is a key piece of late nineteenth-century aestheticism.
Salomé was originally written in French; this Portuguese edition, published in 2000, belongs to the Ficções collection of Editorial Estampa.
For those interested in classical theatre, late nineteenth-century drama and the work 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.
