De Profundis
Oscar Wilde — a famous Irish poet, playwright, and writer. In 1895, he was sentenced for «gross indecency» and sentenced to two years of hard labor. «De Profundis» — a letter from prison to Lord Alfred Douglas, Wilde's close friend,... who played a major role in his imprisonment. The text of the letter is not only filled with anger and bitterness of disappointment, but also reveals the depth of feeling that the poet had towards Douglas. Moreover, the letter reflects the result of Wilde's rethinking of his philosophy of pleasure and views on the role of suffering in human life.
