Sinossi
La pesante ombra dello scandalo che colpì il padre all'apice del successo trasformò un'infanzia felice in un susseguirsi di eventi dolorosi, di avversità e rinunce. Holland non cede mai al rancore o all'autocommiserazione, dà invece vita a un gioiello, che permetterà a tutti i lettori, agli studiosi e agli appassionati del celebre scrittore di rileggere la sua vita da una prospettiva diversa, mettendone in luce aspetti sconosciuti e sorprendenti. Emerge anche l'importanza e la forza d'animo della figura della moglie di Oscar, Constance Lloyd. Completano il libro quattro racconti inediti che Wilde inventò ed espose oralmente in una delle tante occasioni di convivialità e un carteggio epistolare di notevole interesse. «In queste pagine ho provato a spiegare cosa vuol dire essere figlio di Oscar Wilde» scrive l'Autore, costretto a cambiare il proprio cognome da Wilde a Holland. E ancora: «Questa non è una storia allegra o divertente. Penso, tuttavia, che debba essere scritta come parte dell'intera tragica storia di Oscar Wilde».

Okay. Everyone surely knows by now that I LOVE Oscar Wilde. No one writes like he did. He was one of a kind. But that does not change the fact that his life brought a lot of misery to his family. Not that he meant it to, but still it did. This book was written by his son and brings a great new persp Leggi tutto
Nowadays it feels like Oscar Wilde and I are engaged in a never-ending game of tag; a game in which I always seem to be "It", tirelessly chasing after him while he constantly escapes my grasp, urging me to run a little faster, a little further, mocking me when I triumphantly exclaim "This is it! I'v Leggi tutto
Admirers of this sweetly sad book may be interested to know more about Vyvyan's second wife, Thelma (nee Besant). Thelma was a girl from Melbourne, Australia, born in 1910. As a young woman she worked at the Hill of Content bookshop, which still exists in Bourke St, Melbourne. For twelve years she s Leggi tutto
“On the loom of Sorrow, and by the white hands of Pain, has this my robe been woven.” Oh man. I laughed, I cried, I sighed, I gasped, I cried some more. This is a raw and insightful glance into the life Wilde and his family were forced to live after his downfall. My heart aches for Vyvyan and Cyril, Leggi tutto
يا لها من حياة قاسية، كيف يتحمل قلب صبي مِثل هذا الألم، وكيف يتعايش مع هذا القدر من المعاناة. كسر الكتاب قلبي في أكثر مِن موضع، لكن محاولة الصبي للانتحار حطمته بحق! أنظر إلى نفاق البشر المتستر بالدين، والحكومات التي لا تقل شرًا عنهم لا بد من الإشارة إلى الترجمة البارعة، واللغة البليغة، وقد شدتني ال Leggi tutto
Quite an eye-opener; while I knew that Oscar Wilde was imprisoned etc; because of his homosexuality, I did not realize the devastation on his family. Wilde's son, Vyvyan tells how his identity was stripped and he had to leave the country, growing up in a variety of schools with harsh environments.
