Devilishly attractive Lord Illingworth is notorious for his skill as a seducer. But he is still invited to all the best houses while his female conquests must hide their shame in seclusion. In this devastating drawing - room comedy, Wilde uses his celebrated wit to expose English societys narrow view of everything from sexual mores to Americans.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Woman of no Importance
    Reviewed in Canada on December 6, 2000
    I've just started re-reading this play and I think it is one of the most beautiful works Wilde ever wrote. Mrs. Arbuthnot's speech at the end of Act Four, beginning "men don't know what mothers are" is one of the most beautiful pieces I've ever read in Wilde. It's a very ironic speech, considering it was written by a man, but it shows what a wonderful insight into women Wilde had. The play is essentially about morality and the conflict between a person's own, private sense of morality and the moral values imposed on us by society. Ultimately, Mrs. Arbuthnot is the character who most deserves our respect, precisely because she refuses to buy into the moral values of those around her. Reading it, I can just imagine how it would be performed, I even find myself acting the play out in my head, such is the power and force of Wilde's dialogue. This is a truly beautiful work which I highly recommend

    this reads as though it had been translated in Russian, then Japanese and then Ancient Greek and back to English.

    Il racconto di Wilde personalmente mi è piaciuto molto. Ha tutto lo stile di Wilde: humor britannico, attenzione per i dettagli della vita umana e quello stile che ti porta nel suo tempo.

    Per quanto riguarda il libro in sè, è ovviamente una edizione economica, quindi la qualità è all'altezza del prezzo.
    Trovo che sia ben fatto, testo leggibile e editing essenziale.

    This book is absolutely amazing. It has become, from the first 2 pages, my favorite book and believe me, I have read many! It is very thin and very easy to read but so consistent. I would not dare to describe too much, would not want to spoil the pleasure of the perspective readers. Highly recommended.

    This is a very nice story by Oscar Wilde, anyone who reads Oscar will know it. I do not feel I have the expertise to review this book, but the only thing I can say is that it travels you to another period of time, so it's recommended for people that wish to look through Oscar's eyes in the 19th century of English world.
