Biography (Author)
Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde
OSCAR WILDE (1854 - 1900) Oscar Wilde was born in 1854 in Dublin, Ireland, and became one of the most celebrated writers and playwrights of the late 19th century. Known for his sharp wit, flamboyant style, and brilliant command of language, Wilde made significant contributions to literature through his plays, essays, and fiction.
His most famous works include the novel The Picture of Dorian Gray and plays such as The Importance of Being Earnest and An Ideal Husband. Among his well-known short stories is The Devoted Friend, a moral tale that critiques selfishness disguised as friendship. In this story, Wilde uses irony and satire to explore the themes of exploitation and hypocrisy, showing how true friendship requires sincerity and sacrifice.
He died in 1900 in Paris, France, but his works have since earned enduring acclaim and are widely read and performed around the world.
