Oscar Wilde attracted the attention of his audience by the brilliance of his conversation, his knowledge, and the force of his personality.

In his works, especially in his tales, he glorifies beauty, and not only the beauty of nature or artificial beauty, but the beauty of devoted love. He admires unselfishness, kindness and generosity ("The Happy Prince", "The Nightingale and the rose") and despises egoism and greed ("The selfish Giant", "The devoted Friend").

 The theme of these tales is quite realistic. Oscar Wilde shows the contrast between wealth and poverty. His own sympathy for poor, labouring people is quite evident.

The given game is based on these four tales. Read and play.
