By Frank Harris and Oscar Wilde

This unique edition includes: Biographical Summary to get to know the great character and life of Wilde. Introduction; to know how it all started. The complete Transcribed Trials to read the exact words that used to prosecute Wilde and how he responded as witty and funny as always. The visits to the prison, a personal account of his friend and biographer Frank Harris to know how they treated him firsthand, how he felt and the books he wanted to read. Some Cruelties of Prison Life: the letter Wilde wrote to denounce the injustices in jail he saw, like the imprisonment of children. De Profundis (1905): published expurgated after his death, it is the letter he wrote in jail and it is praised as one of his best works. It comes with a complete analysis of it and a criticism by Lord Alfred Douglas in the same year 1905. The ultimate edition to witness from all the angles how a genius is prosecuted, without losing his style and his wit. He is able to say while being interrogated in court: "Truth may be found, I believe, at the bottom of a well. It is, apparently difficult to find it in a court of law."
