A Significant Contribution to the Literature on Oscar Wilde
Though the theaters around the world continue to produce the plays of Oscar Wilde and even the Opera houses consider Strauss' adaptation of Wilde's "Salome" as a staple in the repertoire, and while biographies and films about this unique artist increase in number with every year, this book approaches yet another aspect of Wilde's genius. Charlotte Gere has researched the Aesthetic Movement in England at the turn of the century and attributes the style and popularity of the 'new look' in home decor to Wilde and his entourage. From paintings to furniture to wallpaper to fabric to book design - all the art nouveau trends were at times created by Wilde and at other times merely popularized by him on his numerous tours. The book is resplendent in illustrations of paintings, homes, photographs, and a lot of just fine biographical data about Oscar Wilde. A thoroughly informative and entertaining slant on The Importance of Being Oscar!


The House of Ashes
Published in Paperback by Spring Rain Press (1991)
Author: Oscar Pinkus
Amazon base price: $9.95
Average review score:

Devastating
Devastating saga of endurance and inhumanity that makes Anne Frank's fate appear almost benign by comparison - and just ONE of so many individual tragedies. To Pinkus's descendants I can only reach out a hand of solidarity and voice my hope that Palestinians/Moslems/Arabs (do Americans know the difference?) are never so demonized.

An absolute joy!
In modern times, it is easy to overlook the contribution made to our heritage by Oscar Wilde. This book goes some way to redressing the balance as it conjures up the wicked wit of Wilde, in a very presentable fashion. Not a book to be read from cover to cover but one to be dipped into very often.

Hope you can laugh at yourself!
This play is the second I read in my life, but I am sure it is one of the best ever written!
It is witty and funny, a social satire everybody should read.
Wilde played with words and stereotypes in a wonderful manner.
Two thumbs up!

Wonderful gift for catlovers, wits and philosophers
This book has truly charming (not "cute," but very cat-like) line drawings of a cat, accompanied by quotations from Oscar Wilde that are very apposite for a cat. It's a perfect gift for occasions when you don't want JUST a card, but a full-scale book or other present is too much. I've probably given away 10 copies in the past few years, and can think of another 10 possible recipients. (Plus, it's fun to have around for yourself)

I love this book
This book is extremely well written and laid out. I like the easy explanations and diagrams, as well as the more technical boxes for those who wish to delve deeper. This is a great primer for AI. It should be required reading for those interested in learning about AI, to whet the appetite.

Intermediate Polish rules
I have been a linguist now for six years and have studied Polish and Russian. "Intermediate Polish" by Oscar Swan is perhaps one of the most helpful books I have read. It contains a lot of information and presents it in a concise format.

JEWISH ITALY
IT IS WONDERFUL TO FIND A BOOK SO SPECIFIC TO THIS TOPIC, SINCE INFORMATION ON THIS TOPIC IS SO RARE. THE INFORMATION WAS SO USEFUL TO PLANNING A PERSONAL AND MEANINGFUL TRIP TO ITALY. IT REALLY INCREASED OUR ENTHUSIASM AND ANTICIPATION FOR OUR TRIP.
