De Profundis
Book (italiano):
Written from Wilde's prison cell at Reading Gaol to his friend and lover Lord Alfred Douglas, <i>De Profundis</i> explodes the conventions of the traditional love letter and offers a scathing indictment of Douglas's behavior, a mournful elegy for Wilde's own lost greatness, and an impassioned plea for reconciliation. At once a bracingly honest account of ruinous attachment and a profound meditation on human suffering, <i>De Profundis</i> is a classic of gay literature. Richard Ellmann calls <i>De Profundis</i> "a love letter...One of the greatest, and the longest, ever written."<br><br><br>This Modern Library Paperback Classics edition contains newly commissioned notes.
