Written from Wilde's prison cell at Reading Gaol to his friend and lover Lord Alfred Douglas, De Profundis explodes the conventions of the traditional love letter and offers a scathing indictment of Douglas's behavior, a mournful elegy for Wilde's own lost greatness, and an impassioned plea for reconciliation. At once a bracingly honest account of ruinous attachment and a profound meditation on human suffering, De Profundis is a classic of gay literature. Richard Ellmann calls De Profundis "a love letter ... one of the greatest, and the longest, ever written."

Work Description

Obra de expiación del escritor irlandés Oscar Wilde (1854-1900). Acusado de pederastia, homosexualidad y al borde del suicidio al ser condenado a dos años de prisión, Wilde encuentra consuelo en la meditación del dolor y del sufrimiento a través de la vida, pasión y muerte de un Jesús humanizado. Arrepentido de su oprobiosa culpa, desea rehacer su vida y encontrar una nueva felicidad.
