Titre : An ideal husband Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Oscar Wilde Editeur : Mineola, N.Y. : Dover Publications Année de publication : 2000 Importance : ix, 78 p. Format : 22 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-486-41423-2 Index. décimale : 822.8 Résumé : Sir Robert – a member of the House of Commons and junior government minister – and his wife, Lady Chiltern, are hosting a gathering that includes his friend Lord Goring, a dandified bachelor, Chiltern's sister Mabel and other guests. During the party, Mrs Cheveley, an enemy of Lady Chiltern from their schooldays, attempts to blackmail Sir Robert into supporting a fraudulent scheme to build a canal in Argentina. Her late mentor and lover, Baron Arnheim, induced the young Chiltern to sell him a Cabinet secret – which enabled Arnheim to buy shares in the Suez Canal Company three days before the British government announced its purchase of the company. Arnheim's payoff was the basis of Sir Robert's fortune, and Mrs Cheveley has Robert's letter to Arnheim as proof of his crime. Fearing the ruin of both career and marriage, Sir Robert submits to her demands. When Mrs Cheveley pointedly informs Lady Chiltern of Sir Robert's change of heart regarding the canal scheme, the morally inflexible Lady Chiltern, unaware of both her husband's past and the blackmail plot, insists that Sir Robert renege on his promise to Mrs Cheveley. For Lady Chiltern, their marriage is predicated on her having an "ideal husband"—that is, a model spouse in both private and public life whom she can worship; thus, Sir Robert must remain unimpeachable in all his decisions. Sir Robert complies with her wishes and apparently seals his doom.
Toward the end of Act I, Mabel and Lord Goring come upon a diamond brooch that Goring gave someone many years ago. He takes the brooch and asks Mabel to tell him if anyone comes to retrieve it.
Goring receives a letter from Lady Chiltern asking for his help – a letter that could be misinterpreted as a compromising love note. Just as Goring receives this note, his father, Lord Caversham, drops in and demands to know when his son will marry. A visit from Chiltern, who seeks further counsel from Goring, follows. Meanwhile, Mrs Cheveley arrives unexpectedly and, misrecognised by the butler as the woman Goring awaits, is ushered into Lord Goring's drawing room. While she waits, she finds Lady Chiltern's letter. Chiltern discovers Mrs Cheveley in the drawing room and, convinced of an affair between these two former lovers, he storms out of the house.
When Mrs Cheveley and Lord Goring confront each other, she makes a proposal. Claiming to still love Goring from their early days of courtship, she offers to exchange Chiltern's letter for her old beau's hand in marriage. Lord Goring declines, accusing her of defiling love by reducing courtship to a vulgar transaction and ruining the Chilterns' marriage. He then springs his trap. Removing the diamond brooch from his desk drawer, he binds it to Cheveley's wrist with a hidden lock. Goring then reveals how the item came into her possession: she stole it from his cousin, Mary Berkshire, years ago. To avoid arrest, Cheveley must trade the incriminating letter for her release from the bejewelled handcuff. After Goring obtains and burns the letter, Mrs Cheveley steals Lady Chiltern's note from his desk. Vengefully she plans to send it to Chiltern as, ostensibly, a love letter from Lady Chiltern to Goring. Mrs Cheveley exits the house in triumph.

Titre : The picture of Dorian Gray Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Oscar Wilde Editeur : London : Penguin Année de publication : 1994 Importance : 255 p. Format : 19 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-14-062033-7 Note générale : First published 1891. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : the artist the picture the air Résumé : Step into the world of aestheticism and hedonism with Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray, a timeless masterpiece that has captivated readers for over a century. This novel, imbued with Wilde's signature wit and philosophical musings, is an exploration of beauty, morality, and the destructive consequences of narcissism.
The Picture of Dorian Gray tells the tale of a handsome young man, Dorian Gray, who becomes the subject of a portrait by the talented artist Basil Hallward. Dorian, under the influence of the cynical Lord Henry Wotton, wishes for the picture to age instead of him, leading to a life of eternal youth and beauty. As Dorian indulges in every pleasure and vice, his portrait bears the scars of his debauchery, while he remains untouched by time.
This novel is a profound exploration of the human soul, the fleeting nature of beauty, and the darkness that can lurk beneath a charming exterior. Wilde's eloquent prose and sharp social commentary make this book a must-read for lovers of classic literature.
The Picture of Dorian Gray is historically significant as it was published during the Victorian era, a time of strict moral codes and societal expectations. The book was considered scandalous upon its release due to its blatant critique of Victorian society and its exploration of taboo themes such as hedonism and homosexuality. This led to Wilde's infamous trial and imprisonment, making the novel not just a piece of literature, but a symbol of resistance against societal norms.
Why should you read it right away? The Picture of Dorian Gray is more than just a novel; it's a philosophical journey that challenges readers to question societal norms, morality, and the concept of beauty. It's a testament to Wilde's genius and a reminder of the power of literature to provoke thought and challenge the status quo. Dive into this masterpiece and allow Wilde's world to captivate and inspire you.
