Summary

The "OSCAR WILDE Ultimate Collection: 250+ Titles in One Edition" is a monumental anthology that encapsulates the wit, aestheticism, and profound philosophical inquiry characterizing Wilde's oeuvre. This compendium offers not only his famed plays, such as "The Importance of Being Earnest" and "An Ideal Husband," but also his essays, poetry, and short stories, highlighting the delicate interplay between beauty and morality in late 19th-century literature. The collection is meticulously organized to guide readers through Wilde's multifaceted exploration of societal norms, individuality, and the pursuit of artistic expression, all rendered in his signature flamboyant prose and sharp, satirical humor. Oscar Wilde (1854'Äì1900) stands as one of literature's most striking figures, a dandy and a champion of the aesthetic movement whose own life echoed the complexities of his works. Raised in Dublin, he was educated at Trinity College and Oxford, where he honed his artistic sensibilities and developed a keen awareness of the social mores that would later inform his writing. Wilde'Äôs trials and tribulations, ultimately leading to his imprisonment, provide a profound backdrop that enriches the understanding of his themes surrounding love, identity, and societal constraints. This ultimate collection is a treasure trove for both new and seasoned readers of Wilde, offering an unparalleled opportunity to immerse oneself in the breadth of his contributions to literature and culture. Readers will find themselves enchanted by his prose, challenged by his ideas, and inspired by his relentless pursuit of truth and beauty.

    In the 1880s, Freud discovered cocaine and became enthusiastic about what was not yet considered a party drug. Favoring the use of cocaine in the treatment of neurasthenia, as an energizer, or as an anesthetic, Freud made a creative and fashionable use of it, heralding practices that our society knows well. Several surprising texts are gathered here on cocaine. Freud recounts the use of coca in history, particularly in South America, from where it was imported. In Cocaine Addiction and Cocaine Phobia, the inventor of psychoanalysis defended coca against its accusers as a dangerous product. Finally, in the letters to Martha Bernays, his future wife, we discover an intimate and loving Freud, telling how he escaped boring dinners thanks to his dear magic substance.
