Excerpt from Aspects of Modernism: From Wilde to PirandelloIn spite of his coquettish individualism and his shower of paradoxes, which makes one think of Nietzsche, Oscar Wilde is the very antipodes of the philosopher of superman. Nietzsche wrote in order to fight and to overcome his inner tragedy, Wilde in order to avoid it. He was deliberately anti-tragic. From art he demanded an aesthetic shelter, and from life, hardly anything more than pleasantly arranged appearances, coupled with an Epicurean chase after new sensations for their own sake.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
