It was Lady Windermere’s last reception before Easter, and Bentinck House was even more crowded than usual. Six Cabinet Ministers had come on from the Speaker’s Levée in their stars and ribands, all the pretty women wore their smartest dresses, and at the end of the picture-gallery stood the Princess Sophia of Carlsrühe, a heavy Tartar-looking lady, with tiny black eyes and wonderful emeralds, talking bad French at the top of her voice, and laughing immoderately at everything that was said to her. It was certainly a wonderful medley of people. Gorgeous peeresses chatted affably to violent Radicals, popular preachers brushed coat-tails with eminent sceptics, a perfect bevy of bishops kept following a stout prima-donna from room to room, on the staircase stood several Royal Academicians, disguised as artists, and it was said that at one time the supper-room was absolutely crammed with geniuses. In fact, it was one of Lady Windermere’s best nights, and the Princess stayed till nearly half-past eleven.
As soon as she had gone, Lady Windermere returned to the picture-gallery, where a celebrated political economist was solemnly explaining the scientific theory of music to an indignant virtuoso from Hungary, and began to talk to the Duchess of Paisley. She looked wonderfully beautiful with her grand ivory throat, her large blue forget-me-not eyes, and her heavy coils of golden hair. Or pur they were—not that pale straw colour that nowadays usurps the gracious name of gold, but such gold as is woven into sunbeams or hidden in strange amber; and they gave to her face something of the frame of a saint, with not a little of the fascination of a sinner. She was a curious psychological study. Early in life she had discovered the important truth that nothing looks so like innocence as an indiscretion; and by a series of reckless escapades, half of them quite harmless, she had acquired all the privileges of a personality. She had more than once changed her husband; indeed, Debrett credits her with three marriages; but as she had never changed her lover, the world had long ago ceased to talk scandal about her. She was now forty years of age, childless, and with that inordinate passion for pleasure which is the secret of remaining young.

Oscar Wilde has to be among few writers who can keep you smiling, thinking, wondering, entertained and amazed at the same time. The book starts with the title story which is funny in being outrageously silly while boasting a rich text. Each story is original and shows off Wilde's great hand in creating interesting and round characters. The last story is on a whole different level It must be said. How about Cyril Graham's theory that managed to convert me as well. All in all this is as good as a collection of short stories could get. 5/5.Product details

LORD ARTHUR SAVILE'S CRIME Annotated edition by Oscar Wilde Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Classic Oscar Wilde, very witty, bitting, wonderful social commentary, and entertaining. Well worth downloading and reading again. I'm reading all of Oscar Wilde's works and highly recommend them all.
So easy to tell this book was Oscar Wilde by the first few pages. It has his style and definition all over it. The story was captivating and interesting and I personally enjoyed it.
Wilde has a subtle and wicked sense of humour! A good read for lovers of his works. I expected it to be one story but it was in fact a collection of short stories
These stories are fun, witty and short. Excellent for a lazy afternoon of reading. I would recommend to anyone who wants to evaluate Oscar Wilde's style before committing to one of his novels.
Short stories are a wonderful genre, and Oscar's are as good as anyone's, well, almost anyone's. This one is clearly written and the ending is surprising.
Funny! Wilde's witty and wicked satirical humor is just as relevant this very minute.
Read slow but worth the time. Oscar Wilde is an interesting man of his time but I now will read more m
