This famous play by Oscar Wilde is one of the finest comedies in the English language. Algernon knows that his friend Jack does not always tell the truth. For example, in town his name is Ernest, while in the country he calls himself Jack. And who is the girl who gives him presents 'from little Cecily, with all her love'? But when the beautiful Gwendolen Fairfax says that she can only love a man whose name is Ernest, Jack decides to change his name, and become Ernest forever. Then Cecily agrees to marry Algernon, but only if his name is Ernest, too, and things become a little difficult for the two young men.

Egy csalogány halálra sebzetten dalol egy szerelmes ifjúért. Egy köztéri szobor arcán könnyek gördülnek alá, leveti aranyköpenyét, drágakődíszeit, és a szegényeknek ajándékozza. Egy gyerek megtagadja az anyját, s ezért sorsa mindaddig bünteti, amíg keservesen meg nem bánja vétkét... Oscar Wilde, a ragyogó tollú, irónikus dandy ezekben a gyönyörűen szomorú mesékben a másik, a nagyon sebezhető oldaláról mutatkozik meg. A boldog herceg több mint száz éve jelent meg először, olvasói mindmáig felnőttek és gyerekek egyaránt.

Poprvé navnaděna vyprávěním zvídavé přítelkyně Alice, které se brzkého erotického probuzení dostalo od zmužilého komorníka, Beatrice neváhá a vydává se objevovat erotické taje s Aliciným bratrem Frederickem. Jelikož po ochutnání slastí je pro ni nemožno přestat, postupuje hlouběji a zakušuje potěšení rozmanitého druhu – mimo jiné se zúčastňuje orgií tajného Amorózního kroužku, svádí služebné, uzavírá manželství se zhýralým lordem Crim-Conem a nakonec předává své nabyté nepřeberné znalosti dalším nezkušeným.

I cannot at present remember how it was that we struck upon this somewhat curious topic, as it was at that time, but I know that we had a long discussion about Macpherson, Ireland, and Chatterton, and that with regard to the last I insisted that his so-called forgeries were merely the result of an artistic desire for perfect representation, that we had no right to quarrel with an artist for the conditions under which he chooses to present his work, and that all Art being to a certain degree a mode of acting, an attempt to realise one's own personality on some imaginative plane out of reach of the trammelling accidents and limitations of real life, to censure an artist for a forgery was to confuse an ethical with an aesthetical problem. Erskine, who was a good deal older than I was, and had been listening to me with the amused deference of a man of forty, suddenly put his hand upon my shoulder and said to me, 'What would you say about a young man who had a strange theory about a certain work of art, believed in his theory, and committed a forgery in order to prove it?' 'Ah! that is quite a different matter,' I answered. Erskine remained silent for a few moments, looking at the thin grey threads of smoke that were rising from his cigarette. 'Yes,' he said, after a pause, 'quite different.' There was something in the tone of his voice, a slight touch of bitterness perhaps, that excited my curiosity. * Did you ever know anybody who did that ?' I cried. 'Yes,' he answered, throwing his cigarette into the fire,--' a great friend of mine, Cyril Grah...
