However, before long they realise that they share their new home with the ghost of a murderous English aristocrat. An incredible humorous play brimming with Wilde's trademark wit not to be missed by fans of his seminal work. Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde (1854-1900) was an Irish poet and playwright who became one of the most popular in London during the 1880s and 1890s. Well-known for his sharp wit and extravagant attire, Wilde was a proponent of aestheticism and wrote in a variety of forms including poetry, fiction, and drama. He was famously imprisoned for homosexual acts from 1895 to 1897 and died at the age of 46, just three years after his release. Other notable works by this author include: \"Picture of Dorian Gray\" (1890), \"Salome\" (1891), and \"The Importance of Being Earnest\" (1895).

The image of a vampire portrayed as an aristocratic man, like the character of Dracula, was created by John Polidori in \"The Vampyre\" (1819), during the summer spent with Frankenstein creator Mary Shelley, her husband, the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley and Lord Byron in 1816. The Lyceum Theatre, where Stoker worked between 1878 and 1898, was headed by the actor-manager Henry Irving, who was Stoker's real-life inspiration for Dracula's mannerisms and who Stoker hoped would play Dracula in a stage version.

Born in Dublin, Stoker suffered from an unknown illness as a young boy before entering school at the age of seven. He would later remark that the time he spent bedridden enabled him to cultivate his imagination, contributing to his later success as a writer. He attended Trinity College, Dublin from 1864, graduating with a BA before returning to obtain an MA in 1875. After university, he worked as a theatre critic, writing a positive review of acclaimed Victorian actor Henry Irving's production of \u003ci\u003eHamlet\u003c\/i\u003e that would spark a lifelong friendship and working relationship between them. In 1878, Stoker married Florence Balcombe before moving to London, where he would work for the next 27 years as business manager of Irving's influential Lyceum Theatre. Between his work in London and travels abroad with Irving, Stoker befriended such artists as Oscar Wilde, Walt Whitman, Hall Caine, James Abbott McNeill Whistler, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. In 1895, having published several works of fiction and nonfiction, Stoker began writing his masterpiece \u003ci\u003eDracula\u003c\/i\u003e (1897) while vacationing at the Kilmarnock Arms Hotel in Cruden Bay, Scotland. Stoker continued to write fiction for the rest of his life, achieving moderate success as a novelist.

The last decade of her life was dogged by illness, most likely caused by the brain tumor which killed her at age 53.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUntil the 1970s, Shelley was known mainly for her efforts to publish her husband's works and for her novel \u003cem\u003eFrankenstein\u003c\/em\u003e, which remains widely read and has inspired many theatrical and film adaptations. Recent scholarship has yielded a more comprehensive view of Shelley's achievements. Scholars have shown increasing interest in her literary output, particularly in her novels, which include the historical novels \u003cem\u003eValperga\u003c\/em\u003e (1823) and \u003cem\u003ePerkin Warbeck\u003c\/em\u003e (1830), the apocalyptic novel \u003cem\u003eThe Last Man\u003c\/em\u003e (1826) and her final two novels, \u003cem\u003eLodore\u003c\/em\u003e (1835) and \u003cem\u003eFalkner\u003c\/em\u003e (1837). Studies of her lesser-known works, such as the travel book \u003cem\u003eRambles in Germany and Italy\u003c\/em\u003e (1844) and the biographical articles for Dionysius Lardner's \u003cem\u003eCabinet Cyclopaedia\u003c\/em\u003e (1829-1846), support the growing view that Shelley remained a political radical throughout her life. Shelley's works often argue that cooperation and sympathy, particularly as practiced by women in the family, were the ways to reform civil society. This view was a direct challenge to the individualistic Romantic ethos promoted by Percy Shelley and the Enlightenment political theories articulated by her father, William Godwin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Gopublish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50387240583442,"sku":"9783755100140","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_91e25599-5e52-444c-b32b-026adc945af2.jpg?v=1728874497"},{"product_id":"les-femmes-grotesques-9781955904230","title":"Les Femmes Grotesques","description":"\u003cb\u003eIn each of these stories, the reader is lured into a sinister shadow space, one both familiar and uncanny.\u003c\/b\u003eLife is strange, beautiful, and terrible in the world of Victoria Dalpe's debut short story collection.

Mentor to artists as varied as Bohumil Hrabal and the Plastic People of the Universe, Klima's philosophy was radically subjectivist, and he felt it should be lived rather than merely spoken or written about. With Nietzsche as his paragon, he embarked upon a lifelong pursuit to become God, or Absolute Will, elucidating this quest in many letters, aphorisms, and essays. Yet among Klima's fictional texts, the apotheosis of his philosophy is The Sufferings of Prince Sternenhoch, his most acclaimed novel. Ostensibly a series of journal entries, the tale chronicles the descent into madness of Prince Sternenhoch, the German Empire's foremost aristocrat and favorite of Kaiser \"Willy.\" Having become the \"lowliest worm\" at the hands of his estranged wife, Helga, the Queen of Hells, Sternenhoch eventually attains an ultimate state of bliss and salvation through the most grotesque perversions. Klima explores here the paradoxical nature of pure spirituality with a humor that is as darkly comical as it is obscene.
