Book cover
By: (1854-1900)

In "Decadencia de la mentira", Oscar Wilde dives deep into the concept of lying and the role it plays in art and society. Through a series of essays and discussions, he challenges the traditional views on truth and beauty, arguing that lying can actually be more powerful and authentic than truth itself.

Wilde's writing is as sharp and witty as ever, with his unique blend of humor and intellect shining through on every page. He explores the ways in which art and literature are often rooted in deception, and how this deception can ultimately lead to a deeper understanding of the human experience.

Overall, "Decadencia de la mentira" is a thought-provoking and insightful read that will leave readers questioning their own beliefs about truth and fiction. Wilde's timeless observations on the nature of lies and their impact on art make this book a valuable addition to any library.

Book Description:
‘La Decadencia de la Mentira‘ forma, junto con otros títulos, la biblioteca de ensayos de este importante escritor victoriano. En ella, Wilde se sirve de una fructuosa conversación entre dos amigos, los sagaces Cyril y Vivián, para entonar una apología del esteticismo y del “arte por el arte”.
Aterrizando en las entrañas de Vivián, Wilde transmite una poderosa crítica contra la naturaleza y la realidad. Inquiere en que estas destruyen cualquier intento de manifestación del arte, pues ambas tratan de concebirlo sin servirse de la belleza, apartándola de su lado. De hecho y según él, el auténtico y verdadero arte reside en el esteticismo producto de la imaginación del hombre, la cual es esencialmente creadora y busca siempre formas nuevas. - Summary by Phileas Fogg
