Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
En prtendant qu'il avait mis ' son gnie dans sa vie et son talent dans son oeuvre ', Oscar Wilde se signalait l'attention des biographes. Ceuxci ne manqurent pas de s'interroger sur une existence successivement voue l'excentricit, au scandale et la dchance. Quant l'oeuvre, elle tomba peu peu dans l'oubli, l'exception d'une ou deux comdies, du Portrait de Dorian Gray et de La Ballade de la gele de Reading. Le gnie, le talent se rsumaient, en fin de compte, cette silhouette de vieux dandy amateur de garons, tranant dans les cafs pour y noircir des feuillets inutiles. Voire.Il tait temps de relire Wilde et de se pencher nouveau sur l'histoire de sa vie. Robert Merle s'est admirablement acquitt de la premire tche. La seconde revenait Jacques de Langlade qui, avec perspicacit, s'est attach retrouver la vrit derrire le tissu d'peuprs, d'affabulations et de mensonges qui constitue la lgende wildienne.Nous dcouvrons un Wilde nergique, courageux, doubl d'un expert en relations publiques. Capable de s'enflammer pour une cause _ l'affaire Dreyfus _, il se montre remarquable confrencier, causeur tincelant. C'est une star. Soucieux de son image, il n'hsite pas s'avancer nu devant la justice lorsque son honneur est mis en cause. La suite est connue: la condamnation deux ans de prison pour corruption de mineurs, la faillite, la misre. C'est un clochard qui meurt le 30 novembre 1900 d'une mningite, dans un htel de la rue des BeauxArts.Wilde eutil conscience de ce qui le poussa mener jusqu'au bout sa propre destruction? Jacques de Langlade se garde de conclure. Pourtant, comment oublier la phrase terrible qu'crivit le prisonnier de Reading: ' La douleur est la suprme motion dont l'homme soit capable et, en mme temps, le prototype et le banc d'essai du grand art. 'Professeur de littrature compare l'universit de Paris, diteur des OEuvres Compltes (Stock, 1977), Jacques de Langlade a notamment publi Oscar Wilde, crivain franais (Stock, 1975). Il est l'auteur d'une biographie de Brummell (Presses de la Renaissance, 1985) et de Dante Gabriel Rossetti (Mazarine, 1985).
