I saw the 1947 movie "An Ideal Husband" and just had to read the play. This book includes a lot (all?) of Oscar Wilde's plays. So far I have enjoyed "An Ideal Husband" and "The Importance of Being Ernest". Both are light and witty, fun to read.Product details

The plays of Oscar Wilde Oscar Wilde Books Reviews
Much of Oscar Wilde's public persona can be seen through the plays and reading them it is easy to see why he was so admired, talked about, loathed and scorned. While I don't find him in his plays to be the epitome of wit some make him out to be, it is easy to see how innovative his plays must have been.
Despite being funny in a witty kind of way in many places, they also outline if not his beliefs, then at least his beliefs as he presented them to the public. And what I found was a playful, self mocking kind of "opulence" - where Wilde's supposed aesthesism is not dogmatic but rather to be enjoyed. Thus, we see him participate in society through his characters while mocking society. Another important aspect is that despite his most witty characters (characters one would naturally identify with Wilde) scorning conventional morality, the actual outcome of his plays contains a morality of its own - and one that's quite close to some modern-day libertarians a happy ending means that people make the best of their circumstances to enjoy themselves and live a happy and fulfilling life in the freedom of pursuing what they want to. Even if this is nothing like what Wilde wanted to convey, it still adds to the plays' reading.
I found the actual plays to be quite undifferentiated in that there is nothing that is in one that is completely radical compared to the others - rather, it's good to read them all in order to immerse oneself in that kind of atmosphere for a brief moment. The only exception is Salome, which is very unusual, but I think it's clear that it was intended to be so, and there's something avant-garde about it (especially the refrains about things like the moon scattered throughout).
But enough from me, read it and find out part of the reason why Wilde has left such a unique mark on world literature/culture/etc!
This wasn't wat I expected, but it's just as wonderful. The book is from the 1930s and I feel a reverence to not use it. I probably would have sill bought knowing the year, but I definitely will not bring it places I would have brought a newer book.
I, too, am writing to cancel out the vote of the idiot-child who first rated this book. When deletes his comment and rating, maybe it will delete mine, too.
This is ideal to have Oscar Wilde's works always available for reading on my , especially when stuck in the waiting room for 45 minutes at a doctor's office.
I read several of Wilde's plays every year, or whenever I want to laugh. I do not particularly like his novel, stories or essays, but his plays are superb. The language is exquisite, the observations on human behavior brilliant - as good as it gets in literature - and it is funny! What more can one expect.
If you are new to Wilde start with 'The Importance of being Errnest' and go on to any of the others. The moral of 'An Ideal Husband' can easily be applied to Wall Street today, not much has changed. But it is delivered with such humour. The plots are silly, but they are simply the vehicle for delivery.
Read them!

Wilde first published the "Importance of Being Ernest" in a 4 act version. He later revised it into the standard 3 act version, which is the one that is invariably used on stage and in film -- and with good reason it is funnier, better written, and more quickly paced. Unfortunately this kindle version is the inferior 4 act version. So . . . go for the real thing and buy another version.
The cover thats advertised is what I wanted, but NOT what I received. Instead I received a cover thats less than aesthetically pleasing, yes the content is the same however I was really hoping to add this collection of plays with the cover advertised to my personal library. I'm disappointed to say the least, and if I wouldve known there was a chance I'd receive a different cover, even for the price I wouldnt have purchased it.
I saw the 1947 movie "An Ideal Husband" and just had to read the play. This book includes a lot (all?) of Oscar Wilde's plays. So far I have enjoyed "An Ideal Husband" and "The Importance of Being Ernest". Both are light and witty, fun to read.
