The Importance of Being Earnest pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
Oscar Wilde's madcap farce about mistaken identities, secret engagements, and lovers entanglements still delights readers more than a century after its 1895 publication and premiere performance. The rapid-fire wit and eccentric characters of The Importance of Being Earnest have made it a mainstay of the high school curriculum for decades.
Cecily Cardew and Gwendolen Fairfax are both in love with the same mythical suitor. Jack Worthing has wooed Gwendolen as Ernest while Algernon has also posed as Ernest to win the heart of Jack's ward, Cecily. When all four arrive at Jack's country home on the same weekend the "rivals" to fight for Ernest's undivided attention and the "Ernests" to claim their beloveds pandemonium breaks loose. Only a senile nursemaid and an old, discarded hand-bag can save the day!
This Prestwick House Literary Touchstone Edition includes a glossary and reader's notes to help the modern reader appreciate Wilde's wry wit and elaborate plot twists.
Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde was an Irish playwright, poet, and author of numerous short stories, and one novel. Known for his biting wit, and a plentitude of aphorisms, he became one of the most successful playwrights of the late Victorian era in London, and one of the greatest celebrities of his day. Several of his plays continue to be widely performed, especially The Importance of Being Earnest.
As the result of a widely covered series of trials, Wilde suffered a dramatic downfall and was imprisoned for two years hard labour after being convicted of "gross indecency" with other men. After Wilde was released from prison he set sail for Dieppe by the night ferry. He never returned to Ireland or Britain, and died in poverty.
第一遍還行,第二遍推薦,雖然第三遍我想力薦,但我還是會把五星留給《莎樂美》!
評分10年上課讀瞭部分,很晚纔通讀完。抖機靈抖多瞭也會審美疲勞,Wilde的路數其實大同小異。

評分王尔德算不上一个好的剧作家,恩。比如这部the importance of being earnest,无论男女、老少、主仆,十来号人说起话来都是一个调调,我晕~~ 一样伶牙俐齿,玩世不恭,每个人的嘴里都时不时冒出几句王氏招牌悖论,害得我老觉得是王尔德一人分饰多角自言自语了三幕!自负机智诙...
