Bored? Try one of these!

Remember Oscar Wilde? We talked about him on St.Patrick's day, he was an Irish author famous for writing The Picture of Dorian Grey and The Importance of Being Earnest, among others. 


Find in this link some of his short stories, some of them as short as 4 pages. Have a look and see if you like any of them: http://www.wilde-online.info/short-stories.htm

I particularly enjoy The Selfish Giant and The Nightingale and the Rose.


The Importance of Being Ernest is a play, and it has been adapted to cinema several times. Have any of you seen it? It is really fun, I highly recommend you to watch it! It belongs to the genre called 'comedy of manners', which basically means that Oscar Wilde makes fun of the habits and the way the people from the upper class behave and their love life.Have a look at the trailer:

These are some of his most famous quotes, have you heard any of them before?

Enjoy!!
