Sean McCann The Wit of Oscar Wilde (Wit of Ireland)
O'Brien Pr 0862782481 / 9780862782481 PAPERBACK Good
0862782481 Editorial Reviews n nProduct Description nHere is a collection of quotes from the plays, novels, and lacerating wit of Oscar Wilde-a man who boasted that he could talk spontaneously on any subject. This claim is proved by the wicked and clever comments about art, human nature, morals, society, politics, history, and numerous other subjects contained in this book, including the infamous "I can resist everything except temptation" and "A man who desires to get married should know either everything or nothing." His snubs and insults became the talk of his time and are still great bits of humor to accentuate speeches, letters, or dinner party conversations. n nAbout the Author nSean McCann is a distinguished author and journalist. He has written more than 25 books covering a wide range of subjects ranging from roses to Irish history and sport. His passion is rose growing, for which he has been awarded many international prizes. He lives in Dublin. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
