The Soul of Man Under Socialism: El Alma Del Hombre Bajo El Socialismo. Edicion Bilingue

Publisher Marketing: En el ensayo de "El alma del hombre bajo el socialismo," Oscar Wilde proclama un individualismo insobornable y libre de todo egoismo, en armonia con sus propuestas de libertad sin coercion para el hombre y para el artista. Wilde se despacha a placer contra todo y contra todos, particularmente contra los enemigos de la individualidad del hombre: la industria, la propiedad privada, la prensa, la opinion publica, el socialismo autoritario y, por supuesto, el Estado. Nunca se lo perdonarian. Sin embargo, Oscar Wilde, con sus postulados no solo anticiparia los horrores de las ideologias totalitarias del siglo XX y las tiranias del capital y de los medios, sino que en el plano artistico se convertiria en el primer critico moderno. Una obra de vigencia plena en nuestros tiempos. Como apuntaria Jorges Luis Borges: "Leyendo y releyendo, a lo largo de los anos, a Wilde, noto un hecho que sus panegiristas no parecen haber sospechado siquiera: el hecho comprobable y elemental de que Wilde, casi siempre, tiene razon. 'The Soul of Man under Socialism' no solo es elocuente; tambien es justo." Contributor Bio:  Wilde, Oscar Oscar Wilde was a Victorian-era British author and playwright. In his youth, Wilde became attached to the Aesthetic Movement, which emphasized the appreciation of the aesthetic value of cultural creations above social or political purposes, and this philosophy influenced his work throughout his career. The themes of art and beauty are particularly present in his only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, , and in his two most popular dramatic works, An Ideal Husband and The Importance of Being Earnest. A quarrel with the Marquess of Queensberry, the father of Wilde's lover, Lord Alfred, resulted in Wilde's arrest and imprisonment for gross indecency. Wilde died in 1900, penniless and in exile, as a result of cerebral meningitis contracted while in prison.
