Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - 'The Green Carnation' is a sharp and sophisticated satire of the Aesthetic movement that gripped late Victorian London. The novel presents a thinly veiled parody of the legendary wit Oscar Wilde and his companion Lord Alfred Douglas, appearing as the charismatic Esm� Amarinth and the young Lord Reginald Hastings. Through sparkling dialogue and scandalous pronouncements, the narrative explores the excesses of dandyism and the pursuit of art for art's sake.Set during a country house party, the story captures the artificiality and brilliance of a social set dedicated to style over substance. As the characters trade paradoxes and challenge conventional morality, the work serves as a vibrant time capsule of the Fin de Si�cle period. The author masterfully mimics the epigrammatic style of his subjects, creating a comedy of manners that is both a tribute to and a critique of the decadent lifestyle. 'The Green Carnation' remains an essential read for those interested in the history of literary subversion, the life of Oscar Wilde, and the social dynamics of the 1890s.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
