Więcej o książce
Oscar Wilde's renowned social satire features protagonists Algernon, a London dandy, and Jack, a rising gentleman from the countryside, who lead double lives to escape the constraints of their social status. Algernon enjoys country life as "Bunbury," while Jack travels to the city as "Ernest." Jack's love for Gwendolen, the daughter of Lady Bracknell and cousin to Algernon, forces him to abandon his troublesome alibi, which proves to be challenging. Algy visits him in Hertfordshire posing as his brother "Ernest," and Gwendolen, who insists on marrying only an "Ernest," also arrives. Lady Bracknell remains steadfast in her social prejudices. This comedy is one of the brightest in world theater, a precursor to absurdist theater and a masterpiece of aestheticism that exposes the superficiality of morality and social snobbery in the Victorian era while providing stylish entertainment.
