Interpretation As Books The Last Testament of Oscar Wilde

Na een pijnlijke veroordeling wegens homoseksualiteit en zijn verblijf in een Engelse gevangenis leefde Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) de laatste vier maanden van zijn leven in Parijs. Dit boek nu bevat zijn memoires zoals hij die gedurende die periode zou kunnen hebben geschreven: zijn fictieve autobiografie dus. Hoewel zijn levensloop wel wordt gevolgd, gaat het hier niet om de historische juistheid, maar om het psychologisch portret dat uit het dagboek van Wilde spreekt. En dat portret is buitengewoon knap getekend: zowel de publieke persoonlijkheid van de dandy alsook de gevoelige en kunstzinnige estheet (die Wilde beide was) komen er in naar voren, verenigd op een wijze die een wel buitengewoon levendig beeld van Oscar Wilde schetst. Bovendien heeft de auteur een perfect gevoel voor het soort paradox en aforisme waar Wilde in grossierde. Een meesterwerk dat uitblinkt door diep psychologisch inzicht en warme sympathie voor een heel bijzonder mens. Voorbeeldig goede, soepele vertaling.

Judge Appertaining To Books The Last Testament of Oscar Wilde

reading this book is an intense experience. I felt like all the words were written by Oscar Wilde, even if I knew that many events are only invented by Ackroyd.I've always been very curious about the figure of Oscar Wilde, so this diary was a beautiful discovery to me. It was hard reading the part of the process and the incarceration of Oscar Wilde and then was deeply touching knowing about the relationship between Oscar, his family and Bosie. Strongly recommended! 🌹

This lovely little novel is quite spectacular, really. Littered with fantastic witt and absolute Wildean charm, I find it a must read for any fans of the divine Oscar.

Stunning book! So clever, well written and well researched! Peter Ackroyd managed to brilliantly capture Oscar Wilde's voice! A great tribute to him, I think he would find it interesting to see his life literally become art!

3,5*

This is the first fictional work by Ackroyd that I read, and I enjoyed it as much as when I read it the first time.Ackroyd captures the voice of Wilde quite well, and presents an "autobiography" that Wilde writes during his last months. What is most interesting is that while Bosie is dealt with, the most touching relationship is between Wilde and his wife.

[These notes were made in 1988:]. A fascinating little book. I devoured it all in one sitting. Mr. Ackroyd, writing as if he were Oscar Wilde, recalling his life, is not only a remarkable mimic, but seems to possess a generous share of psychological insight as well. His Oscar is, I fear, a little wiser and more sober on his deathbed than the original perhaps was. But if there is to be a fault, I'm glad it's on the sympathetic side. I cannot praise the style too much - Ackroyd has caught both
