De Profundis

Oscar Wilde

Editorial: DigiCat

Sinopsis

In "De Profundis," Oscar Wilde unfurls a poignant letter penned during his imprisonment, offering a profound exploration of love, suffering, and redemption. Written in rich, lyrical prose, Wilde distills his tumultuous experiences into a meditation on the transformative power of adversity. The work is deeply embedded within the context of late Victorian society, reflecting Wilde's personal battles with societal norms and his quest for individuality amidst profound existential despair. Infused with references to classical literature and Christian mysticism, Wilde's letter oscillates between bitterness and philosophical acceptance, making it a compelling example of his literary genius. Oscar Wilde (1854-1900), celebrated for his flamboyant wit and socially incisive works, faced a scandalous downfall that precipitated his two-year imprisonment. His experiences in prison profoundly affected his worldview, leading him to reevaluate his relationship with art, morality, and his own identity. "De Profundis" serves as both a reckoning with his past and a sincere expression of love for his former muse, Lord Alfred Douglas, showcasing Wilde's emotional depth and intellectual rigor. This remarkable work is essential for readers seeking to understand the intersection of art and life, suffering and salvation. Wilde's eloquence and insight render "De Profundis" not merely a letter, but a timeless exploration of the human condition, making it an invaluable addition to literary and philosophical discourse.

It Wasn't Meant to Be Like This

Lisa Wilkinson

The long-awaited autobiography from one of Australia's most popular, much-loved and enduring media stars, Lisa Wilkinson.

Lisa Wilkinson has lived much of her life in the public eye. One of Australia's most respected journalists and media personalities, her warm, intelligent and elegant presence has graced our television screens for many years, where she has shared, shaped and even shifted many important national conversations. But it all could have been so different ...
Subjected to horrific bullying as a teenager, Lisa survived by making herself as small as possible. But she swore when she left school that no one was ever again going to determine who she was - or limit what she was capable of. That determination and drive led to Lisa blazing an unprecedented and enormously successful trail through the Australian media and cultural landscape for more than four decades.
An early ground-breaking career in publishing - at 21, Lisa was the youngest editor ever appointed to take charge of a national magazine, Dolly, before spending ten years as editor of the iconic Cleo magazine - then led to a stunning television success story. This included spending more than a decade as co-host of the Nine Network's Today show, before she caused a media storm across Australia and the world on the issue of the gender pay gap, when she moved to the Ten Network as co-host of its prime-time award-winning program The Project.
It Wasn't Meant to Be Like This is the story of how a young girl from Sydney's western suburbs came to be such a force in Australian cultural life. It is a story that is honest, funny, engaging - and powerfully inspirational.
'Told with humour and a 'did this really happen to me' relatability ... generous and gracious' The Daily Telegraph
