About this audiobook
Written during his time in Reading Gaol, De Profundis is Oscar WildeÕs moving letter to Lord Alfred Douglas, whose relationship with Wilde led to the poetÕs imprisonment. Here Wilde repudiates Lord Alfred and reflects on his ordeal, acknowledging how the depths of his sorrow have helped liberate him towards a fuller, freer wisdom. Brimming with beautiful passages, De Profundis is a profound and inspiring treatise on the meaning of suffering.ÊWith an Introduction Written and Read by Merlin Holland.
