The Importance of Being Earnest (Spanish Edition)

by Oscar Wilde

Overview

La importancia de llamarse Ernesto es una de las comedias más brillantes y divertidas de Oscar Wilde, una sátira mordaz sobre la hipocresía social y las apariencias en la alta sociedad victoriana. La historia sigue a Jack Worthing y Algernon Moncrieff, dos caballeros que inventan identidades falsas para disfrutar de una doble vida sin ataduras. Sin embargo, cuando sus engaños se enredan, surgen situaciones cómicas llenas de malentendidos, confusiones y diálogos ingeniosos.

Con su característico humor afilado y su crítica sutil a las normas sociales, Wilde crea una obra maestra del teatro que sigue fascinando a generaciones. La importancia de llamarse Ernesto es una celebración del ingenio, la ironía y la ligereza que hace de esta comedia un clásico atemporal.

Una lectura imprescindible para los amantes del teatro, la literatura clásica y el humor inteligente.

About the Author

The ever-quotable Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) was an Irish playwright, novelist, essayist, and poet who delighted Victorian England with his legendary wit. He found critical and popular success with his scintillating plays, chiefly The Importance of Being Earnest, while his only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, scandalized readers. Imprisoned for two years for homosexual behavior, Wilde moved to France after his release, where he died destitute.
