Messages from Oscar Wilde from prison from the depths

Product description

"From the Depths" is an artistic documentation of Oscar Wilde's spiritual journey during his years of imprisonment, which changed his previous beliefs about beauty and freedom, to realize that "shallowness is the greatest vice." The consequences of the accusation that led to his imprisonment haunted him on both personal and literary levels. Oscar Wilde entered prison surrounded by the laughter of skeptics and the jealous, and all those who wished for his downfall and failure. Even his literature, which had reached the highest levels of fame at the time, and the plays that were performed for many years, all stopped, and re-staging them in national theaters was banned. The books bearing his name were also prohibited from circulation. Although all these repercussions were harsh, severe, and destructive to his reputation and life, Wilde attributed his suffering and pain mainly to the betrayal of his friend and his forgetting everything he had given him of love, friendship, and loyalty. These messages are the harvest of the suffering and regret that Oscar Wilde endured during his days in prison, which he drank alone and forsaken, without the opportunity to tell his story from his own perspective. The messages were sent to the world before reaching "Alfred Douglas," revealing the nature of their relationship and its impact on Wilde's life and art, and what it ultimately led to—loss and betrayal. It was as if he was writing to be here, to be free, to soar even a little despite the wound that encircles his wings.
