Nello sterminato groviglio del decadentismo di fine secolo, dell'art Nouveau e di un ossessivo interesse per le mode, Salomè è un capolavoro di arguzia e sofisticatezza. è l'esemplificazione del concetto che Wilde aveva di arte: pura formalizzazione, puro artifizio, puro fatto stilistico. scritto a Parigi nel 1891, il dramma fu censurato a Londra in base a una vecchia legge che vietava di mettere in scena i personaggi biblici. solo nel 1931 poté essere rappresentato senza scandalo. Oramai, però, Salomè era considerato il miglior lavoro di Wilde. Questa edizione è accompagnata dai raffinati disegni di Aubrey Beardsley e dall'introduzione di Alberto Arbasino, che svela gli aspetti eccessivi e spettacolari del teatro wildiano.

Anche se Wilde lo ha sempre negato, 'Il ritratto' è una favola autobiografica, in cui l'autore moltiplica se stesso in vari personaggi: non solo Dorian Gray, il dandy che sa di dover espiare il proprio edonismo sfrenato con la vecchiaia, ma anche Lord Henry, maestro di perfidie verbali, che è l'anima cinica e decadente dello scrittore; e Basil Hallward, l'autore del quadro fatale, che rappresenta il Wilde sacerdote dell'arte. Col procedere del suo lavoro di traduttore, Ferrucci si è accorto che nel romanzo abitavano non solo vari protagonisti autobiografici, ma anche più opere dello stesso autore: 'Avrei voluto consigliare maggiore unità di tono nel libro; ma non potevo fare a meno di notare che ogni scena alla fine stava in piedi assai bene...'

Se Cesare è un grande condottiero lo è in quanto sa spingere fino in fondo una meditazione lucida sulla libertà e le sue illusioni, con quella stessa volontà e intelligenza che, in tutto il libro, viene attribuita al poeta Catullo. Il rapporto tra il poeta e il dittatore, centrale per tutto il lungo racconto che accompagna l'ultimo anno di vita di Cesare, si svolge come un confrontarsi di ragioni diverse, ma che trovano entrambe la propria verità su una superiore coscienza che sa i propri limiti: che è poi, sembra suggerire Thornton Wilder, parte del fascino e del segreto del potere.
