Podcast - Paris celebrates Oscar Wilde's irreverence
LS - Looking for a cultural day out in Paris to take a break from work during the holidays?
Go check out the exhibition "Oscar Wilde, L'impertinent absolu" at the Petit Palais, dedicated to the most popular 19th-century Irish playwright and novelist.
Famous for his wit, aphorisms and mastery of irony, Oscar Wilde was an aesthete and art critic, as well as a provocative and formidable writer of drama, fiction and essays. The end of his life was marked by a fall into disgrace and scandal as he was arrested and tried for "gross indecency", in the late Victorian era when homosexuality was still a crime punishable by prison and hard labour. Wilde wrote his last piece of literature from prison: De Profundis (1905), a long letter of introspection and bitter social criticism.
