The book contains more than 1300 phrases of the great wit Oscar Wilde – about life and death, about men and women, about clothes and fashion, about art, religion, history and politics. Many of them are published in Russian for the first time, including The Wilde “Maxims for the instruction of overly educated” and aphorisms from the draft notebooks of Wilde.
“Probably he was the greatest master of conversation, who had ever lived, not excluding Socrates, who lacked the Wilde sense of humor” Alfred Douglas
