Książka w języku angielskim. In this singularly powerful novel, Louis Bayard brings Oscar Wilde’s wife Constance and two sons out from the shadows of history and creates a vivid and poignant story of secrets, loss, and love. In September of 1892, Oscar Wilde and his family have retreated to the idyllic Norfolk countryside for a holiday. His wife, Constance, has every reason to be happy: two beautiful sons, her own work as an advocate for feminist causes, and a delightfully charming and affectionate husband and father to her children, who also happens to be the most sought-after author in England. But with the arrival of an unexpected houseguest, the aristocratic young poet Lord Alfred Douglas, Constance gradually - and then all at once - comes to see that her husband’s heart is elsewhere and that the growing intensity between the two men threatens the whole foundation of their lives. With Louis Bayard’s trademark sparkling dialogue and deep insight into the lives and longings of all his characters, "The Wildes" could almost have been created by Oscar Wilde himself. Lightly told but with hidden depths, it is an entertaining and dramatic story about the human condition.
