Description
Life imitates Art far more than Art imitates Life’The Decay of Lying includes two of Wilde’s most comprehensive – and witty – explorations of his aesthetic philosphy: ‘The Decay of Lying’ and ‘The Critic as Artist’.GREAT IDEAS. Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves – and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives – and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are.
